现在大家说起游轮就会想到cruise这个词。
前面说到cruise作为动词主要有两个意思，
一个是巡航 to travel at a constant speed that permits maximum efficiency.比如巡航导弹 cruisemissile。
一个是巡游to sail about on a plersure trip .
而作为名词，就很简单明了。a pleasure voyage on a ship.
可见中国人和外国人对于cruise这个词认识不同。
老外看重的是trip /voyage，而中国人认为是游船/轮。
如果把中国人理解的游轮翻译成英文，
应当就是cruise liner。

World's Largest Cruise Terminal for World's Largest Cruise Ships
TAKE THE INTERACTIVE TOUR
The largst cruise terminal in the world to serve the two largest and most revolutionary cruise ships in the world officially opened at Port Everglades on Friday, November 6, one week prior to the arrival of Royal Caribbean International's 5,400-passenger Oasis of the Seas.
"We finished building Cruise Terminal 18 on time and under budget, which is a demonstration of government at its best," said Port Everglades Director Phil Allen. Port Everglades, located within the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Dania Beach, Florida, is governed by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners. "There may be bigger terminals that service two ships at the same time, but Terminal 18 was constructed specifically to handle one Oasis-class ship at a time."
At 240,000 square feet (5.5 acres), Cruise Terminal 18 is more than three times larger than it was just 22 months prior to opening when Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (RCL) reached an agreement with Broward County to homeport both of the new Oasis-class of ships at Port Everglades. The second Oasis-class ship, Allure of the Seas, is scheduled to arrive at Port Everglades in late 2010.
"We are very appreciative of the efforts of Director Phil Allen and his team at Port Everglades to create a state-of-the-art facility that will provide a seamless experience for our guests," said President and CEO of Royal Caribbean International Adam Goldstein. "Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas will present an unprecedented vacation to guests and Terminal 18 is an integral part of delivering that offering."
Bigger Is Faster
Despite its size, Cruise Terminal 18 was designed to allow guests to check-in and be ready to board the ship in just 15 minutes.
Typically, cruise guests who arrive early have to wait outside the terminal until U.S. Customs and Border Protection has completed disembarking guests from the previous sailing. Since embarkation and debarkation take place in two separate parts of Cruise Terminal 18, early arrivals can be processed for embarkation simultaneously with debark. The goal is that once the ship is cleared for embarkation, the transition for guests to go from curbside to the ship can be completed in 15 minutes.
The terminal area for debarking guests is 102,000 square feet on two levels, while the arrival hall for embarking guests is in the new section of Cruise Terminal 18 and encompasses 138,000 square feet on two levels.
Embark/Debark
Cruise Terminal 18 is actually two buildings combined with a 16,500-square-foot baggage screening area in the center that will serve both embarking and debarking side of the facility. The terminal was designed so that embarking passengers who arrive early can begin the boarding process and relax upstairs while guests from the prior cruise collect their luggage and proceed through Customs. Once U.S. Customs and Border Protection clears the ship for boarding, waiting guests can proceed onto the ship.
