BREVARD COUNTY • PORT CANAVERAL, FLORIDA — The Canaveral Port Authority hosted about 100 community leaders aboard Royal Caribbean’s Enchantment of the Seas for the traditional Plaque and Key Ceremony on yesterday to welcome the ship to its new homeport at Port Canaveral.

“Port Canaveral has been a great partner for a very long time and we are thrilled that Enchantment of the Seas will complement Freedom of the Seas to offer vacationers convenient year-round options from Florida’s Space Coast,” said Adam Goldstein, president and CEO of Royal Caribbean International.
