Taking a port city’s big attractions from land to sea is easy in a city like Miami, and it's a strategy cruise lines can adopt in more ports to engage residents and get them on more ships.
Cosmopolitan Miami is driving the growth in Florida as it brings in visitors looking for an urban escape where people speak a bit of Spanish and enjoy a little sand and surf.
The port is used primarily by Carnival Cruise Lines who hope to sign a new multiyear agreement with the port so they can continue to rake in profit that comes from advertising a brand new embarkation point.
