So does that mean Terminal One will get a major redo soon as stated in the Port's long range plans? Terminal one now cannot handle 5K+ pax at a time.

I've been running under the assumption that it would share the new terminal with the Oasis-class ships, like they share terminals now.

The "new" Terminal 3 opening this fall is exclusively for RCL.  That in theory opens up room at the Terminals 2 for Norwegian, Carnival and the just announced Princess sailings.

I'd think that they'd build the fourth terminal in the port's long term plan before committing to a renovation of either T1 or T2.  You can't remodel without having somewhere else to go.

Is terminal 1 or terminal 2 big enough for Prima or Jubilee?

Should be on a size basis.  Liberty of the Seas is only slightly smaller than the Excel Class for Carnival (1111 ft vs 1130 ft) and is homeported at T2.  That's negligible with the open space at either end of the existing docks.  

People & bags?  4900 for Liberty, 6500 max for Excel class, so.... that might be a stretch but you can handle that with a longer boarding window.
