A new cruise terminal and berth are being considered for development at Pier 14. The Galveston Wharves is in negotiations with Royal Caribbean Group on this project. Port officials believe it could bring significant economic benefits to the region.

The development may also lead to changes in certain areas. Further details on the potential impact and scope of the project are available from the source.

The proposal is part of a larger cruise expansion effort, which has raised concerns about the potential effects on historic Pier 19.
