Florida ports are expecting a record year, while continuing multi-million dollar projects to upgrade and enhance terminals, piers and related infrastructure to keep up.
Driving the continued growth are new ships and some ship shuffles between the competitive ports.
Also supporting growth is Florida’s attraction as a tourist destination, as well as the state’s own strong home market, and its proximity to the Caribbean and a variety of year-round, stable itinerary options.
Thus, about one third of all the cruises globally sail out of Florida ports, according to Cruise Industry News estimates.
