Everglades cruise craze
FORT LAUDERDALE 22 December – Fort Lauderdale’s population is expected to temporarily grow 25% tomorrow as more than 46,000 cruise passengers disembark from 13 vessels at Port Everglades. This breaks the port's original record set three years ago said port director Phillip Allen in a statement, noting the previous record was set on 21 December 2003 when 15 cruise ships docked simultaneously. Adding “holiday cruises to the Caribbean are always popular this time of year, but this year is exceptional because Port Everglades will be hosting larger ships than ever before, including the immense Queen Mary 2.” In addition to the Cunard Line’s QM2, other vessels calling are Carnival Cruise Lines’ Carnival Liberty, Costa Cruises’ Costa Magica, 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 and SeaEscape Cruises’ Island Adventure.
