Spirit of Norfolk returns to Hampton Roads after 2022 fire
The boat had been out of commission since June 2022, after a fire broke out on the cruise ship while a whole bunch of school children were onboard. No one was injured but the boat burned for three days.
Carnival cruises brought the ship Mount Vernon to Hampton Roads, which acted as the primary cruise ship until the Spirit of Norfolk's return.
10 On Your Side's Regina Mobley said that Norfolk's mayor, Kenny Alexander, was a part of the festivities.
