What Terminal does Harmony of the Seas use at Port Everglades?

[2chiefs]

Trying to find out the terminal Harmony uses at FLL - or does it change often?

Port Everglades website doesn't seem to have any details as far as I can tell.

Thanks

18 - no.

Here's the link for the port's ship movement:  https://pevvesseltraffic.broward.org/webx/

Look at the TO or FROM columns to determine dock/terminal

Note it only goes out seven days.

I retired from Port Everglades before the Oasis Class ships were introduced.  However, I believe Terminal 18 is the primary terminal for Oasis Class ships.  I've cruised out of there twice on Oasis Class ships and both times it was Terminal 18.  I believe terminal 18 is dedicated to Royal.  But, they do have availability of at least one other terminal, I think it is terminal 25.

Oasis class ships will always sail out of Terminal 18 due to their size.  Terminal 25 is primarily for Celebrity ships.

Each port that homeports an Oasis class ship has a special terminal designed just for her. Terminal 18 in Port Everglades.   25 , built for Celebrity also works. Miami, Canaveral, and now , Galveston , all now have special built terminals, along with Bayonne withits new Quantum class terminal.

Thanks to everybody.

 

One comment about terminal 25. We took a Celebrity cruise out of there a couple years ago. While the terminal was good and the surface parking very close, it was a madhouse trying to get out of there. They only had one attendant to process payments on the way out. It was a total mess. Not sure if that was a one-off or if it was normal for 25.

Now they have automatic machines,  You insert your ticket and then your credit card.  No more "person" in the booth!!  They do have a call box in case of an issue.

I thought Harmony was based in Port Canaveral.

She is coming to FLL soon. Allure to Galveston.

Barcelona doesn't - due to the size guests have to check in at one of two adjacent terminals (B/C)

She was. I think she's being replaced by Wonder at PC. We're booked on Harmony for this December out of FLL.

Hope not. We're booked on Harmony next month out of FLL.

Harmony's last cruise out of PC is end of this month on the 30th.  We will miss her, and her crew.  

 

We will be on board Wonder as she comes into PC for the first time, replacing Harmony.  Debut of her arrival is 11/13.    Looking forward to meeting the new home port lady.  🙂

Not to worry, we will take good care of her when she comes to Galveston and we cruise on her 1/14/24.

Agree, counting this one I've seen Royal use 4 Piers in last 5yrs myself, though don't think Oasis Class would ever use anything besides 18

[Ret MP]

Bottom line, if a terminal, like terminal 18, isn't built by and have a contract with the port authority for exclusivity, any cruise line can utilize the terminal, scheduling permitting, I've seen cargo ships at passenger terminals in Port Everglades.  Like I've indicated, I've been retired from Port Everglades for a long time now.  However, I believe terminal 25 is one of those exclusive to Royal, Celerity is part of Royal.  But, all things are subject to change with the passage of time and the exclusivity may have expired.

Oasis class is always the same terminal. It will be 18.

WE were on a B2B on Allure earlier this year that docked at the Celebrity pier .  Turnaround day for us, so we didn't get off.

Yup...though I scored pretty well with the GS I will be in for four weeks.  Was originally supposed to be Allure, with the price we paid...reflecting that older ship.  Then it got switched to the new Wonder...and we enjoyed price protection.  🤗

I'd bet that there was s screw-up behind the scenes for that to happen, either by Royal or the Port Authority.
