Florida: Victory gambling ship to resume sailing Thursday from Port Canaveral after coronavirus gap Dave Berman, Florida Today · May 26, 2020 at 10:52 pm The Port Canaveral-based Victory 1 gambling ship is scheduled to begin sailing again Thursday, after being idled since March 15 because of the coronavirus pandemic. Passengers will be required to wear face masks and to undergo temperature checks when boarding. “We are so looking forward to sailing again,” Victory Casino Cruises Marketing Manager Shirley Buchanan said, adding that the company wants its customers to both have fun and be safe on their gambling cruise. The gambling ship — which offers twice-a-day sailings — does not fall under the continuing federal ban affecting multiday cruise ships, such as those operated by Carnival, Disney, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean out of Port Canaveral.
