Carnival to Increase It's Presence in Fort Lauderdale Port Everglades!

[Atocha Shipwreck Gal]

An informative article! I am hoping this might mean the new Carnival Horizon might be based in Fort Lauderdale!

So is the Splendor not headed to China?

This is good news for me. I like cruising out of Port Everglades the best, and love Fort Lauderdale and area. I have seen that article already somewhere though, not sure where but recently.

 

As for Splendor, the last I heard was that it was delayed going to China, and would not be going until 2019. I see some nice itineraries for next year on Splendor.

 

It is making me think hard about keeping my res on Escape:(

 

Oh well, I will be happy to see more than one ship out of PE,

We also like cruising out of Fort Lauderdale! We love walking up the 17th Street bridge the morning of the cruise and checking out the ships that are in.

Someone posted this story a few days ago from Cruise Industry News, perhaps that's the article you saw (although the OP's local news story has more information):

Thanks OP for the share. I'm glad they are opening up Port Everglades to more ships and bigger ships. I have only been out of there once which was last year and found it very easy. Much easier than my last time out of Miami. I was on the Splendor in May and I loved that ship. Hopefully it will get some new and exciting ports. If Port Canaveral can't get the Horizon, maybe Ft. Lauderdale. Fingers crossed.
