cruise terminals
Vessel departure points
Cruise terminals are waterfront facilities where cruise ships dock to embark and disembark passengers.
They function like airports for ocean travel, with check-in counters, security screening, luggage handling, and waiting areas.
Major ports have multiple terminals to handle several ships simultaneously: The Port of Miami operates seven cruise terminals.
