Everglades is located two miles from downtown Fort Lauderdale.

of two terminals.
In 1998, some 2.2 million passengers traveled on 30 port-based cruise ships,
and the port handles more than 5,500 vessel calls each year.
Several
cruise ship naming plans took part recently. Princess Cruises dedicated
two new ships. Royal Caribbean's 74,140-ton Enchantment of the
Sea, one of the largest and newest ships in the world. In the future,
5 more ships will be added to the resident 30, which sail during
the traditional winter season and 6 ships will offer year-round
cursing.
Many
tour of the Greater Fort Lauderdale are as on water. Water taxis
tour can our famed Intracoastal on their way to almost anywhere
they want to go, whether it's sightseeing, dining at the many waterfront
restaurants or shopping along Las Olas Boulevard. Water Taxi of
