There will also be expedited security screening and luggage check-in.

MSC Cruises
MSC Cruises is also building a new cruise terminal in Miami. This news was first announced this past summer when the cruise line signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the construction of a new terminal.
The new terminal — which is projected to be completed by October 2022 — will be able to accommodate MSC Cruises’ next-generation, still under construction MSC World Class cruise ships carrying up to 7,000 guests.
