CRUISING MEANS $BILLIONS FOR FLORIDA

When it comes to cruising, Florida is king. That's what Associated Press reported recently in the Orlando Sentinel:

"A business-oriented research group says the 9 million cruise passengers that came through Florida in 2013 accounted for $7.3 billion in direct spending. Florida TaxWatch said in a report released last week that Florida has three of the most-visited cruise terminals in the world: Port Everglades, Port Miami and Port Canaveral. The report says that Florida is responsible for more than a third of all cruise-industry direct spending in the United States."

More sunny news for the Sunshine State. -- Gerry
