The Port believes in providing faster, friendlier and easier service to customers. The cruise lines that call Port Everglades home benefit from access to two full-time Cruise Service Managers who serve as on-site liaisons between port operations and cruise lines. No other port provides this service. Just as critical, one call to the harbormaster takes care of requests for tugs, line handling and marine services. The Port is committed to building up its already pervasive customer-centric culture, one small step at a time.
Great Vacation Destination
Broward County provides cruise passengers with seamless access and a great vacation destination.
One of the best things about cruising from Port Everglades is the convenience. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport is less than two miles away. This means that travelers often find themselves with time to spare to enjoy Greater Fort Lauderdale's world-class amenities. Luxury hotels and resorts bump shoulders with palate-pleasing dining options, all within minutes of the airport. There is no shortage of shopping to suit any budget. There are water sports, the Florida Everglades, amusement parks, sporting events, concerts, museums, galleries and exciting nightlife possibilities.
Hassle-Free Holidays
Getting passengers where they want to go smoothly is easier with Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport just next door. Passenger traffic is expected to increase significantly in the next 20 years.
One of the more memorable days in port history occurred last January. That is when Port Everglades broke its own world record with 49,234 passengers passing through in a single day. If lined up bow to stern, the 11 cruise ships docked at Port Everglades on January 3 would have stretched 9,869 feet or the equivalent of nearly 31 football fields. They held enough cruise passengers to fill 105 747-jumbo jets. In March 2010, the Port is expected to top its own world record with as many as 60,000 cruise guests traveling through Port Everglades in a single day.
In addition to the closest airport/seaport connection in the world, complete with direct to and from ship luggage transfer services, easy highway access makes Port Everglades the preferred gateway for passengers cruising from South Florida.

Vacaciones sin complicaciones
Llevar a los pasajeros al destino al que desean ir sin problemas es más sencillo cuando se está junto al Aeropuerto Internacional Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood. Se espera que el tráfico de pasajeros se incremente notablemente en los próximos 20 años.
Uno de los días más memorables en la historia del puerto tuvo lugar durante el mes de enero pasado. Fue entonces cuando el Puerto Everglades rompió su propio récord mundial, con un tránsito de 49,234 pasajeros en un solo día. Si se los hubiese alineado de proa a popa, los 11 cruceros amarrados en el Puerto Everglades el 3 de enero hubiesen ocupado 9,869 pies, el equivalente a casi 31 campos de fútbol. Transportaron suficientes pasajeros para completar 105 aviones 747-jumbo. En marzo de 2010, el Puerto Everglades espera superar su récord mundial, con un tránsito de 60,000 pasajeros de cruceros en un solo día.
Además de la conexión aeropuerto/puerto más cercana del mundo y los servicios de transferencia de equipaje directos hacia y desde el barco, el sencillo acceso a las autopistas hace del Puerto Everglades la vía de enlace preferida para los pasajeros que emprenden cruceros desde el Sur de Florida.
