Carnival’s Port Canaveral Embarkation Team Again Earns Top Honors

Carnival Cruise Lines said its Port Canaveral embarkation team has once again earned top honors in the company’s annual guest comment card survey, which ranks embarkation personnel from the lines’ 11 year-round homeports. This marks the sixth time that Carnival’s Port Canaveral team has earned the award in the past 13 years.

Under the direction of Guest Logistics Manager Maritza Ferry, the 135-member team was recognized for professionalism, enthusiasm and friendliness while assisting guests embarking on the two Carnival ships that sail from Port Canaveral year-round. Carnival is the largest cruise operator from Port Canaveral, with the 2,052-passenger Carnival Sensation offering three- and four-day Bahamas cruises and the 3,646-passenger Carnival Dream sailing seven-day Caribbean departures.

In November, Carnival will add a third ship, the 2,052-passsenger Carnival Ecstasy, which will offer four- and five-day Bahamas cruises year-round. With these three ships, Carnival will carry an estimated 600,000 passengers annually from Port Canaveral—the most of any cruise line.

In recognition of the achievement, the Canaveral Port Authority hosted a celebratory breakfast for embarkation team members, Carnival Sensation personnel, and the port’s operation staff inside Cruise Terminal 5. Later this month, the Port Canaveral embarkation team will enjoy a reception and dinner, compliments of Carnival, at a local restaurant, and will be presented with a plaque to display in their offices.
