Carnival Sunrise officially launched its season of four and five-day Caribbean cruises this week. Carnival Cruise Line has brought its completely transformed Sunrise ship for a season of new Caribbean cruises out of Fort Lauderdale. There’s also plenty of art and architecture to enjoy on the tour after greeting the big birds. This 180-acre park is a tranquil spot to enjoy an afternoon and is a great way to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city itself.
T25 - Terminal 25 (Celebrity Cruises)
It could come back, eventually, but not immediately after when things return to "normal" (or whatever we'll call the future operations), it will be much later for FLL. Certain conditions make cause movements, but nothing is forever. Other attractions include shopping and restaurants along the promenade, golf courses and sporting events and the nearby Everglades. Lowest pricing is based on our 3rd party pricing supplier and valid as of April 22nd, 2024. Furthermore, Cruise Critic makes no guarantees for availability of prices advertised on our site. Listed prices may have blackout dates, qualifications or restrictions.
Ship Schedule
The new T25 terminal (in Hollywood FL) was officially inaugurated with the ship's arrival (on November 20th). The grand ceremony was attended by Richard Fain (RCG's President and CEO) and Lisa Lutoff-Perlo (Celebrity's President and CEO), plus key cruise brand executives and local officials. An exclusive event was hosted at NSU's Oceanographic Center. Port tenants and visitors may experience heavy traffic and delays Monday, April 22 from 6AM to 2PM due to four cruise ships in port. Motorists are encouraged to include additional time to their commute. The port’s entrances are located at Federal Hwy (US1)/ State Road 84 (Spangler Blvd.), Eisenhower Blvd./SE 17th St., and I-595/Eller Dr.

Honduras is Port Everglades' largest trade partner by shipping volume, including total TEUs. Over USD 2,12 billion worth of goods are annually shipped through the seaport. With some of the best cruises from Florida, The Magic City is definitely a top homeport pick! But it’s more than Miami’s proximity to the Caribbean and Bahamas — this is simply a unique destination all its own.
Fort Lauderdale is approx 50 km (30 mi) from Miami. People all around the world know Florida because there are few places that do “fun and sun” with quite the flair that this place does. And for all its deserved fame as a vacation destination, the Sunshine State is equally skilled at launching great vacations to other places. So imagine leaving from Florida and cruising to convenient, nearby locations like the Caribbean, The Bahamas… while we’re on the subject, you can even cruise to Mexico from Florida! But if you’re cruising from Florida, 2024 or beyond, make sure to set aside some time to explore what’s good on land.
The first ship (Disney Dream) started year-round homeporting here on November 20, 2023. A second DCL vessel (Disney Magic) was scheduled to homeport only seasonally (starting on May 9, 2025). The new Disney terminal was officially opened/inaugurated on November 13th. The ceremony was attended by Sharon Siskie (DCL's Senior VP and General Manager). As container shipping (cargo) port, in 2013 Port Everglades was ranked Florida's 1st and USA's 10th busiest, handling over 1 million TEUs.
A place where you can feel the sand between your toes as you gaze at crystal-clear waters, sipping a cocktail or planning your next outdoor adventure. A cruise to the Caribbean always makes for a great tropical destination, and the one of the best ways to get there is on a cruise from Fort Lauderdale. In early-June 2017 was announced that Port Everglades invests USD 114+ million in Terminal 25's renovations. This is the preferential berth for RCG-Royal Caribbean Group ships. On November 10, 2017, Carnival Corporation completed Cruise Terminal 2's reconstruction and upgrade.
Hollywood, Florida is the home of the third largest cruise port in the world, Port Everglades, which is situated in Greater Fort Lauderdale. Curaçao features colorful colonial architecture against a backdrop of gorgeous beaches. Enjoy the blend of Dutch culture and island fun as you snorkel with sea turtles or sail off into the sunset.
Carnival Giving Up on Ft. Lauderdale?
Carnival cruises these days out of Miami while their sister companies Princess and HAL sail from FLL. I would of thought a convention center would be closer to downtown Ft. Hope we're not competing for hotel rooms at higher prices. New terminal and parking garage sound like welcome improvements. They will not have any trouble filling the ships whenever they do resume cruises from PE.

I know Carnival announced that initially they'll be sailing short cruises from Miami and Pt. Canaveral, but I assumed cruises would eventually resume from Pt. Lauderdale due to dredging work being done by the port, limiting ship traffic. I would expect that once this work is done, they will be back.
The northern part of Port Everglades is called Northport (with terminals 2 and 4). The cruise port's central area is called Midport (terminals 18, 19, 21, 25, 26, 29). All cruise terminals (8 total) are located in Hollywood Harbor.
The 210-passenger ship Pearl Mist became the ever-first to operate roundtrip Fort Lauderdale to Cuba cruises, with 10-day itineraries (January through April 2017). In 2014, the seaport generated USD 28+ billion and was accounted for over 224,000 jobs throughout Florida. In 2015, the cruise port was ranked world's 3rd busiest for handling 877 ship calls and over 3,4 million passengers.
Of the three ships, Harmony was the newest but also the biggest - even though by only 1 ft (30 cm) and 1700 tons. Harmony OTS was finishing her inaugural Transatlantic repositioning crossing. This class of cargo vessels can carry up to 10,500 TEU-containers each. In 2016, the cruise port completed pilot testing of APC kiosks (abbrev "Automated Passport Control") in 2 terminals.
Tampa’s the kind of place that rewards visitors who take a little time to explore the city before or after they cruise. Not far from the Gulf Coast you’ll find great shopping, the state aquarium and plenty of local art museums. But that’s before we even get around to talking about the historically Cuban district of Ybor City, with its lively 7th Avenue neighborhood that’s best explored after sundown for Latin-style nightlife. Good point, we have taken an Uber from FLL to Miami and back many times.
