Security is of NO help to arriving mariners who are meeting up with a ship. SECURITY checks credentials, and knows little or nothing after that. Companies pay big money to berth vessels there for short periods. Port Authority needs improvement.

If we're talkin about Port Everglades the security is on point but they are all confused and mixed up because of the new protocols that they have in place back in 2012 when I left from Port Canaveral you give your documents to the lady at the desk and then they take your picture and then they give you your sail and sign card before you got on the ship but now there are new protocols taking place with Carnival and that is you show your credentials they take your picture and you get your sail and sign card when you get to your room they deliver it to your room which I think is crazy the reason why I said that the security is on point but it's mixed up is because at Port Everglades I had to show my credentials to a lot of people outside of the building and then inside of the building and then they gave us some zone cards with numbers on them and then our card got called but they are very unorganized at Port Everglades but the safety of the security was there I in no ways felt unsafe

I have not experienced what you're referring to.

Security is fine. They know exactly where your boat is docked and directs you. Very cordial and helpful ..
