| New Miami terminal

Talks are underway between
Royal Caribbean Cruises and
city officials in Miami, Florida in
relation to the construction of a
new US$100 million terminal to
accommodate Oasis-class ships.
The cruise line is seeking a berth
of 400 metres capable of handling
the vessels by the end of 2018.
According to the Miami Herald,
a preliminary vote on the proposal
is set for tomorrow, US time.
If approved, Royal Caribbean
would have rights on the terminal
for between 20 and 60 years.
When based in Florida, both of
RCI’s existing Oasis-class ships
Allure of the Seas and Oasis of the
Seas sail from Fort Lauderdale.
