Very excited to hear your experience! Hopefully it's popular and they keep it around for my cruise in March. 

Thanks for the reply Two Wheels. I've watched the live cams on occasion, and I guess I just haven't seen an angle that really shows the progress. For me, those 1st hand accounts seem to resonate better, but I guess I can resort to stalking a live feed if I don't see any other updates.

I'm wondering if anyone has any updates on the state of construction for the new MSC Terminal at Port Miami. We're cruising in Spring of 2024 and hopeful to experience the new terminal and all it has to offer. If anyone has been by recently, or will be passing by soon, would you mind snapping some pics and sharing?

Thanks in Advance. 😀

We'll also be on Seascape, March 2024 (1st time on MSC and YC as well). Maybe we're on the same sailing (3/30 Eastern)

If I could make another comment on the boat vs. ship discussion....

As a submariner, I get offended when someone calls a submarine a ship. It's a boat. It always has been a boat, and it always will be a boat.

As for the larger targets (err. surface craft), call them whatever you want. They continually operate at test depth (the maximum design depth of a vessel) which just doesn't seem like the safest plan. But, since the cruise industry has a proven track record of successful operation in such a perilous situation, I will be more than happy to entrust my sole to their mighty vessel and the men who sail her.

Let me see if I can summarize the last 7 pages...

1. Backpacks might as well be listed as Weapons of Mass Destruction (depending on who you ask)

2. Parents should do their job and raise their children rather than letting them roam the ship like it's their 1,000 ft. home.

3. Elevator ettiquette still applies at sea

4. Follow the posted signage about "saving" lounge chairs (and don't be afraid to enforce the signage)

5. The hallways are more narrow on a ship, so be aware of what you put in them, or how you transit through them

6. People like to stargaze, so do them a favor and don't leave your light on your balcony on all night

7. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. (where have I heard that before???)

8. No wetsuits at the buffet

9. Don't drip food on ladies in wheelchairs

10. Be kind, rewind! (just wanted to see who was paying attention).
