Carnival Issues Dress Code Warning, Company Selling Cruises with No Ship

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry, beginning with a dress code warning from Carnival Cruise Lines. The company is urging passengers to respect local laws regarding attire in Caribbean ports of call. This guidance follows an incident on the Carnival Venezia where a guest was escorted by police in Barbados for wearing prohibited camouflage clothing. Carnival noted that these guidelines are communicated through onboard announcements and publications to prevent future issues. The report also covers setbacks for residential cruise startups. Life at Sea Cruises faces a delayed launch after another cruise line acquired the former I ship, which the company had intended to purchase. Additionally, another startup is attempting to build a new ship by late 2026 despite financial skepticism. Both companies have collected millions of dollars without having a vessel available. In maritime history news, a menu from the Titanic first class restaurant was auctioned in the United Kingdom for 11,600 dollars. The auction also featured other memorabilia, including a pocket watch that sold for 118,700 dollars. Finally, the report notes mixed performance for cruise line stocks, with Carnival Corporation falling while Norwegian saw an increase.
