PORT OF MIAMI UPGRADE REPORTED IN THE WORKS

There are apparently big plans in the works for expanding the Port of Miami. According to a story by Scott Blake in MiamiToday:

"Port Miami has been tops in the cruise industry for as long as anyone can remember. Miami-Dade County's seaport has drawn the most cruise passengers of any port worldwide for about 45 years, said Kevin Lynskey, Port Miami's assistant director for business initiatives. He and other Port Miami managers plan to keep it that way, currently spending roughly $18 million to upgrade two cruise terminals. And they have plans to spend millions more on future terminal projects.On the drawing board is a huge multi-berth terminal complex that Mr. Lynskey said would boast a 'revolutionary design'."

Part of the upgrade is to accommodate the new Carnival Breeze, which will home port in Miami later this year. Sounds like a great port is just going get better. -- Gerry
