Port Canaveral’s new $155 million Cruise Terminal 3 is all dressed up and ready for visitors. But no one is coming — at least not just yet.
The 188,000-square-foot terminal was considered substantially completed in May and became fully operational in June.
It was supposed to be used this year for Carnival Cruise Line, including for Carnival’s new Mardi Gras, the biggest ship in its fleet. The Mardi Gras also would be the first cruise ship to be based in North America to be powered by liquefied natural gas.
