The Canaveral Port Authority Board of Commissioners has approved a $42 Million dollar bond project to build a brand new cruise terminal number 6 to be completed in 2012, according to Robert Giangrisostomi, senior deputy executive director of business development

 “This was done because of our confidence in the projected growth of the cruise industry, our geographic area, drive to access, our proven track record of cruise growth at Port Canaveral with our ships consistently averaging over 100 percent of capacity with some ships running at 150 percent of capacity and our need for additional cruise terminal space for the future of this dynamic and growing industry,” Giangrisostomi told Cruise Industry News.
