The addition of the ship means the port now hosts seven ships including the Carnival Dream and Sensation and Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas and Freedom of the Seas. Carnival, which had been sailing three ships before repositioning the Ecstasy to Miami in December, will bring back a third ship to the mix as well when the Carnival Liberty arrives in May. Also check this out new to the port will be the arrival of the Carnival Sunshine in April, which will be trading places with the Dream, which has sailed out of Port Canaveral since its debut in 2009. The Sunshine is the renamed Carnival Destiny, which underwent a $155 million makeover in 2013. Royal Caribbean will also begin sailing three ships out of the port starting next November with the arrival of the Explorer of the Seas. The port will at that point be hosting nine ships, the most ever for the third-largest port in the state. The growth in traffic comes along with the recent opening of the Exploration http://truman-algeria.com/forum-truman/member.php?3300-MillaChip& Tower, an iconic seven-story structure that offers panoramic views of the Space Coast as well as historical and interactive exhibits. The Port Authority is also moving forward with development of the Cove entertainment district, which could be similar in size to Downtown Disney or Celebration Town Center.
