Busted Pipe Creates Indoor Waterfall on Cruise Ship

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several significant developments within the cruise industry. On the Enchanted Princess, a burst pool delivery pipe caused flooding in the ship's atrium and near a deck 6 bar while the vessel was docked in Santorini. Video footage shows water cascading through the atrium, prompting crew members to use towels and dryers to manage the situation. The ship continued its scheduled itinerary without major delays after the pipe was repaired. In another report, the Mexican government announced its decision to reject Royal Caribbean's proposed Perfect Day Mexico water park project near Costa Maya. The environment minister cited concerns from local residents and environmental groups regarding potential damage to protected mangroves and reef systems. The project was intended to feature beach clubs and water slides by 2027. Finally, the Seabour Sojourn completed its final cruise for Seabour after a 129 day world cruise ending in Vancouver. The luxury vessel has been sold to Mitsui Ocean Cruises and is scheduled to relaunch in September with itineraries departing from Yokohama, Japan.
