Port Everglades

While it sounds like a nature reserve, Port Everglades is actually a powerhouse of cruise ships and cargo boats. This massive Broward County harbor has annual operating revenues of more than $66 million annually, and more than 5,300 ships call here in a year. Make no mistake, this seaport is a heavyweight hub for all big floaty boats, and cruise enthusiasts are likely to set sail from this locale at one time or another.
