Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas will leave Port Tampa Bay this weekend with a ship full of people for the first time since March 2020. Port Tampa Bay will hold an event celebrating the cruise at 9 a.m. on Saturday.

This is not the first cruise to leave from the state of Florida, but it is the first one to leave from Tampa Bay.

This Saturday, Port Tampa Bay will be full of cruise ship travelers. This hasn't happened since the CDC issued a no-sale order in March 2020. https://t.co/XxtOk1RDYn
