Canaveral Completes $48.38 Million Makeover of Cruise Terminal 5

Port Canaveral’s completely refurbished Cruise Terminal 5 resumed operations earlier this month by hosting Carnival Valor.  Improvements costing a total of $48.38 million included an expanded terminal, a 120-foot pier extension, a new 1,044-space parking garage, and new mobile passenger boarding bridges. Carnival Sunshine also will berth at Terminal 5.

The terminal was built in 1991. The upgrades enable it to handle vessels of up to 3,500-passenger capacity.  Previously, it was limited to vessels with a maximum capacity of 2,500 passengers.

The projects involved a majority of local workers consisting of 37 companies with a construction crew of 500 on the terminal and 50 companies with a crew of 450 on the parking garage for a total of 265,000 hours with zero injuries.
