Carnival Makes Changes at Half Moon Cay
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry for September 20. Carnival Cruise Line has informed guests that air conditioning units in cabanas at Half Moon Cay will be replaced with fans. The company cited energy inefficiency and the difficulty of cooling open air structures as the reasons for this change. Impacted guests are being offered a 10 percent refund of the rental price, though rental costs remain high following recent price increases. In New York City, council members are introducing legislation to reduce emissions from cruise ships docked at Manhattan and Brooklyn terminals. The bill would mandate the use of shore power instead of running engines while docked. While the Brooklyn terminal has shore power capabilities, they are currently underutilized due to a missing part that should be installed by next fall. The Manhattan terminal currently lacks this capability. Additionally, a social media survey by Cruise Fever ranked popular onboard dining venues. Guy's Burger Joint on Carnival Cruise Line took the top spot, followed by Eden on Celebrity, Kagney on NCL, Littoral on NCL, and Carnival Steakhouse. Finally, the report notes mixed performance for cruise line stocks, with Carnival Corporation remaining flat and Norwegian seeing an increase.
