To continue its position as a world-class facility, Miami is continuously preparing for the next generation of cruise vessels. An ambitious capital improvement program  is currently underway. Already completed are two ultra-modern cruise terminals.

Passenger Terminals D and E are some of the most modern cruise facilities in the world. Each have among their special design features and amenities a VIP lounge, a high-tech security screening facility for embarkation, airline counters and an airport-style conveyor baggage system. Additionally, each features a one-stop federal multi-agency facility for passenger processing.
