Miami’s seaport underwent a major transformation more than 50 years ago to become the cruise ship capital of the world.
In those early days of the late 1960s and into the 1970s and ‘80s, ships started arriving to their new expanded home. They were smaller than what we see today (along with the Miami skyline as a backdrop), and certainly not as fancy and hotel-like.
But they put the port on the map as one of the best-known tourist destinations.
