Today, July 3, 2021, the Carnival Vista will depart on its first cruise with guests after the long Coronavirus pandemic shutdown. The first cruise back is scheduled to sail to Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel.
Throughout the day I will be watching some different webcams in Galveston that usually show the ship when it is docked and sailing away in the afternoon. The actual departure time could be earlier or later than scheduled. Typically, Carnival ships depart Galveston either at 3:30pm or 4:00pm depending on the sailing. I recommend keeping a close eye on the webcams today to avoid missing out on watching if you are hoping to see the first cruise depart!
Below are some links to two of the video webcams I watch when cruise ships are either arriving, departing, or docked in Galveston. Both webcams are on Galveston.com's website and the links will take you away from RyG's Cruise Guide.
Galveston.com's Cruise Video Cam
The Cruise Cam on Galveston.com is my favorite webcam. Generally, when a cruise ship is docked at terminal 1 the webcam will zoom in to see part of the cruise terminal's pier and part of the ship. When a cruise ship arrives or departs this webcam is controlled by a volunteer camera operator that follows the ship as far as the webcam can show.

Galveston.com's Emerald Cam
This webcam is located on the top of the Emerald in Galveston. When a cruise ship is arriving or departing this webcam will generally be operated by a volunteer camera operator that follows the ship in or out. While a cruise ship is docked in Galveston, ships at cruise terminal 1 or cruise terminal 2 can usually be seen. During times when a cruise ship is not docked, the webcam generally rotates to show different spots of Galveston Island.
