It got started back in June with the arrival of the Carnival Triumph and will finish up tomorrow with the Queen Mary Two. The 2009 cruise ship season in Saint John comes to a close when the vessel docks at 10:30am and leaves port 12 hours later. 2500 passengers are on the board the massive luxury liner, her second visit this year.
This years cruise season was hampered with plenty of rain but that didn't dampen spirits. The ribbon was also cut on the new Marco Polo cruise terminal, we lost some business due to Hurricane Bill but over-all 192,000 people have paid a visit to Saint John. The Port Authority is shooting for 200,000 guests next year.
