Port Canaveral is having a record-breaking month. In the first two weeks, 35 cruise ships have visited the port. Those include ships both turning around, which are homeported there, and ships just on port-of-call stops.
This weekend the port is reopening Cruise Terminal 10 after an extensive expansion and renovation which enlarge it enough that it can handle Norwegian Epic, which made its debut at the port last week, and will be homeported there for the next two winter seasons.

You know how sailing into Amsterdam is such a great experience? You dock right in the middle of things near Central Station. Well, that experience may soon be going away. The city may move the cruise terminal somewhere outside the center.

Today was a big day on Harvest Caye because after more than a year delay, Norwegian Dawn was the first cruise ship to call today, opening the island for a steady stream of Norwegian passengers sailing in the western Caribbean.

Early Tuesday morning, Emerald Princess glided into Sydney Harbor, but she wasn't unnoticed. She was greeted by a row of green flames (connecting with Emerald Princess and the Emerald City, get it?) as she slid by the iconic Sydney landmarks.
This wasn't just a port call. Emerald Princess will be homeported at Sydney all summer (in Australia) long - until April during which time she will sail 13 times to New Zealand, the South Pacific and Tasmania.
The 113,000-ton Emerald Princess is the largest of the five ships Princess has based in Australia this year. Giving her special appeal is that aboard is the new SHARE restaurant created by Australian celebrity chef Curtis Stone.
Check out the Australian welcome for Emerald Princess.
During his annual State of the Port Address today, New Orleans Port president Gary LaGrange said, “The Port is on target to top one million passengers for the third straight year. Cruise lines are investing in bigger and better ships in New Orleans and we’re attracting more and more unique cruise ship calls to New Orleans as a destination city on a cruise itinerary.”
