The essential land-based facility for the cruise trade is the passenger terminal. In 1969, it cost $5 million to build three passenger terminals totaling 3,000 square metres (32,000 square feet) of air-conditioned space, manual baggage pick-up areas (under roof, but not air-conditioned) and an open parking lot. In 1999, the port completed the refurbishment of twopassenger terminals totaling 23,000 square metres (250,000 square feet), totally air-conditioned, and the added amenities of airport-style conveyor baggage system, VIP lounge, seating for 4,000passengers, airline reservation counters, and car rental stations. Also a component of this project included a 730-vehicle parking garage with a pedestrian bridge connecting it to the terminals. The cost of the whole project reached $76million.
