The 2011 cruise season is being called a success despite falling a little short on the number of visitors when compared to last year.
Port CEO Jim Quinn tells CHSJ News the numbers this year would have been the same as last year if it wasn't for 5 cancellations due to inclement weather.
About 190-thousand passengers filled the city streets but he says next year will be very exciting -- so far 76 ships are on the docket with 9 of those from the Disney Cruise Line.
2010 was the most successful year for the Port with over 200-thousand visitors.
The 2011 season ends with a triple ship visit next Tuesday.
