DaCruzNut Posted January 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Carnival Cruise Lines is going to build a new cruise ship terminal in the Turks & Caicos. The Turks and Caicos Islands are situated 575 miles (or 75 minutes) southeast of Miami. Covering 193 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean, the Turks and Caicos Islands has the third largest coral reef system and the best tropical beaches in the world, making it a premier beach, diving and snorkelling destination. Construction will begin this April and should be completed, sometime in 2005. Previously, tourists could arrive only by air or small ferry to the islands.

Dan Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Every few years a story keeps popping up about the T&C islands becoming a part of Canada. Not sure if it will ever come to pass, or why the folks down there seem to want it, but I think it would be cool for Canadians to have a warm place to go in winter, where our money and health care are still good. Not sure how our constitution handles adding a new province, so we may have to drop Quebec to keep things at 10 LOL That bridge for the TransCanada Highway is gonna be killer too LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaCruzNut Posted January 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Actually, Dan, Canadians do have a nice, warm, place to spend their winters. It's a little suburb of Montreal called Hollywood, Florida.... :grin: :grin: :grin: ...and, here I thought our Seven-Mile Bridge was impressive.

Jason Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 It's amazing how much these cruise lines have been expanding their range of ports and terminals worldwide. With all the new ships coming out on a seemingly steady basis, they must need more and more berths for all their magnificent ships! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
