Port Everglades to negotiate for Genesis Project cruise ship calls
Broward County Commissioners Tuesday gave the green light to Port Everglades to negotiate an agreement with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines to have to world's two largest cruise ships call the port when the vessels are completed in 2009 and 2010.
The county-owned port would add the 220,000-ton vessels to the large lineup of cruise ships already calling the port. The Port of Miami has also been talking to the Miami-based cruise line, but no final decision on actual vessel calls has been made.
The new Genesis Project vessels cost from $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion, and will carry 5,400 passengers.
