Royal Caribbean Opens New PortMiami Terminal

Miami-based cruise line operator Royal Caribbean Cruises officially opened its new terminal at PortMiami on November 2.

The terminal and adjacent parking structure will cover 170,000 square feet on 10 acres in the northeast section of the port.

“This will make PortMiami Royal Caribbean’s largest cruise port in the U.S., solidifying PortMiami’s status as the Cruise Capital of the World,” Carlos Gimenez, Miami-Dade County Mayor, earlier said.

Expected to handle at least 30 percent of the port’s projected passenger traffic, the new facility would double RCL’s current passenger traffic in PortMiami.
