DaytonCruiser Posted December 23, 2006 #1 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Possibly besting the world record it set three years ago, Port Everglades said it expects more than 46,000 passengers to sail to and from the port in a single day on Dec. 23. The port pointed out it set the previous world record on Dec. 21, 2003, with 44,108 passengers sailing on 15 ships. The new record may occur with only 13 cruise ships. The ships to be in port on Dec. 23 include: Carnival Cruise Lines' Carnival Liberty Costa Cruises' Costa Magica Cunard Line's Queen Mary 2 Discovery Cruise Line's Discovery Sun Holland America Line's Volendam and Zuiderdam Imperial Majesty Cruise Line's Regal Empress Princess Cruises' Sea Princess and Star Princess Royal Caribbean International's Enchantment of the Seas and Radiance of the Seas Seabourn Cruise Line's Seabourn Pride SeaEscape Cruises' Island Adventure, which will sail in the evening on a cruise to nowhere Link to the rest of the article http://phoenix.bizjournals.com/southflorida/stories/2006/12/18/daily60.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted December 23, 2006 #2 Share Posted December 23, 2006 It was reported in the Miami Herald last November. It'll be busy that's for sure. :rolleyes: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=446853 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanFromFL Posted December 27, 2006 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2006 ...And it seemed like all 46,000 were lined up waiting for the Park & Fly shuttle at pier 29 (Costa Magica)...what a bad scene! And the 2 hour wait to get picked up by our car on the 17th...they were completely overwhelmed by the huge influx of cruise parkers.:mad: Memo to self...during a particularly busy time of year, NEVER NEVER use Park & Fly again for port parking; just not worth the hassle to save a few bucks & start off the vacation like that! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac4cruise Posted December 28, 2006 #4 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Wow I thought it was busy when we were the only ship in port let alone 12 other ships I felt sorry for the porters but I'm sure they made a pile of tips to make up for it.
