BREVARD COUNTY • PORT CANAVERAL, FLORIDA – Workers on Port Canaveral’s newest cruise facility, Cruise Terminal 1, recently celebrated a milestone in the project: The “Dry In” Celebration is the point at which a building’s roof is fully complete, allowing interior finishing work to begin.

Construction continues on the new estimated $50.5 million Cruise Terminal 1, the first to be located on the south side of Canaveral harbor and that will allow passengers and crew to walk to nearby dining and entertainment options for the first time. The 187,500 square foot facility, which is scheduled to open in November 2014. (Port Canaveral image)
