Carnival Fixes Drink Package Error | New Dining Fee Hits Cruisers

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several updates affecting major cruise lines. Carnival Cruise Line has addressed a website error regarding its Cheers Zero Proof package for Australia based cruises. The error incorrectly suggested that premium coffees and teas were included in the package, but the company has clarified that these items are not part of the offering. Affected guests have been notified that they may request a refund if they no longer wish to purchase the package. Meanwhile, Norwegian Cruise Line has implemented a new policy involving specialty dining reservations. Guests will now face a ten dollar per person fee if they miss a reservation without providing at least two hours of notice. This policy aims to reduce no shows and ensure table availability. Additionally, Disney Cruise Line has announced a delay for the debut of the Disney Adventure. Due to construction delays, the ship will now begin sailing on March 10 of next year instead of its original December date. Passengers affected by this delay are being rebooked and offered a fifty percent future cruise credit. The report concludes with a look at cruise industry stock performance, noting gains for Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Viking.
