Oasis of the Seas sails the Caribbean to the Bahamas, Jamaica and Cozumel, Mexico.

Huge cruise terminal for Royal Caribbean is possibly on tap for Port of Miami

From www.travelagentcentral.com via Scoop.it:

Is a new Port of Miami terminal to accommodate one of Royal Caribbean International’s largest mega-ships on the horizon? A proposal for just that is now making its way through the government approval process in South Florida.

The Miami Herald reported late last week that a deal is in the works between Miami-Dade County, FL, and Royal Caribbean, which has corporate headquarters at Port of Miami.

The line reportedly wants to finance and build a new cruise Terminal A, located in the northeastern section of the port; that area is now dedicated to cargo. The county says Royal Caribbean’s investment could total more than $100 million and double the number of its passengers sailing from Port of Miami.

Walter Christen's insight:

I see this as a win-win situation for both the Port of Miami and Royal Caribbean.  The port of Miami will see a 20% increase in cruise traffic, and Royal Caribbean will have a new terminal that they would be able to utilize for their mega sized Oasis class ships like the Oasis of the Seas and the Allure of the Seas.
