I agree but wonder about the future.  I wonder if with ever larger ships Everglades may be unable to handle as many ships as in the past, and expect the lines that have ships there will have priority.  At this time I think the ship most likely to be moved (for this year at least) is the Oosterdam since it has only 2 South Florida calls this season with single stops from a TA to South America and another single stop after South America and before the Caribbean.  I actually think this is a one time event until at least fall 2023 since April 24, 2023 is a Monday and likely to use Fort Lauderdale.

Well, I didn't know about the ongoing work on Port Everglades. 
Because of all your input, I did a little digging and found out Carnival is working with Broward County on this project, they even have a video and more information about the amount of work to be done.
Part of the project is to connect (via People Mover Train) Fort Lauderdale Airport with Port Everglades and Brightline terminal. 
Overall, a pretty ambitious project, that has already got some funding for it. https://www.thenextmiami.com/fdot-provides-funding-for-brightline-fort-lauderdale-airport-people-mover-system-study/

Does anybody know why they are changing ports? And if this is going to be permanent change?
