Port Canaveral is a great place to kick off a cruise from, especially with the beautiful, brand-new cruise terminal we built specifically to be Mardi Gras’ home.

As for CT3, the terminal is located on the eastern end of the port, closest to the end of the channel. So here’s a brand-new ship with a familiar name.
