MAKING A SPLASH

The world’s largest cruise ship now makes Port Canaveral its home. Royal Caribbean Cruises’ Wonder of the Seas, which accommodates nearly 7,000 passengers, will sail from Florida’s east coast for at least two years. The cruise line also made waves in Texas last fall when it opened the world’s first zero-energy cruise terminal in Galveston. The innovative facility generates 100 percent of its needed energy through on-site solar panels. This innovation led the terminal to be named the first LEED Zero Energy facility in the world. In addition to the terminal, Royal Caribbean also introduced the largest ship sailing from the Longhorn State: Allure of the Seas.
