Carnival Corporation renews Port Everglades contract

Carnival Corporation has signed an addendum to extend the contract through 2030 with an additional five years of sailings to and from Fort Lauderdale-based Port Everglades.

Carnival Corporation will have preferential use of Cruise Terminal 4, which is currently undertaking an estimated $13.6 million slip extension project. The work is expected to be complete by the middle of 2017, which will accommodate larger cruise ships for greater efficiency and guest convenience.

As part of the original agreement, the port undertook a $54 million cruise terminal renovation project to make significant improvements to four existing cruise terminals.

As part of the enhancements, the project included features to enable simultaneous embarkation and debarkation processes, including two passenger loading bridges, separate and larger baggage halls and improved ground transportation areas.

As part of the extension, Carnival Corporation and Port Everglades will engage in further improvements to Cruise Terminal 21 to accommodate Carnival Corporation’s newest class of ships.
