Are the Port Canaveral port upgrades significant?

I lost track of the Disney terminal upgrades at Port Canaveral. We haven't sailed from Port Canaveral since 2019. Out of curiosity, what improvements were made? Are they very noticeable from a customer perspective?

I'd kind of say they aren't like amazing upgrades. They seem more like adjustments to me.

My commentary:

- They added on to the front so that they entry/security area is larger. All your check-in stuff happens down there instead of in the main hall.
- The main hall has reduced the number of guest services desks (or whatever it's called) I assume because you're doing those tasks right as you enter the terminal.
- The seating areas have new furniture and setups, but it's not amazingly different (to me).
- The gangway area was completely rebuilt, I assume to allow for the Triton class ships. When you're using the gangway from the inside, if you're not paying attention I suspect you might not notice it's different. When you're on the ship and looking down at the terminal, it's a lot more clear how the gangway is new.
- When you disembark the rebuilt exit area is striking because they have these gigantic ads for Disney+ painted on the walls (which get updated as different shows and movies come out....seems like a lot of work!)
