Ports, Drydocks, and the Rise of Residential Cruising

Today on Cruise News: A proposed Florida amendment could block a private cruise terminal by tightening dredging limits in Terra Ceia Aquatic Preserve. Grand Bahama Shipyard takes delivery of a massive new floating drydock capable of servicing the world's largest cruise ships. Plus, Avora and Villa Vie Residences form a reciprocal access alliance, giving residential cruisers shared benefits across both vessels. We explore how port politics, shipyard capacity, and alternative live-at-sea models are shaping the future of the cruise industry.
