It is just a very crowded port, with very little to offer (other than a rather expensive day visit to Atlantis on Paradise Island). It’s location, near both Miami and Fort Lauderdale, makes it a natural first or last stop on short cruises - frequently having up to five or six large ships each carrying up to 4,000 passengers. Most experienced cruisers who have been there once see it as good stay-aboard port for every subsequent visit.
