Carnival Makes Interesting Choice, World Cruisers are Upset, Cruise Duck Solicitation - Cruise News
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses several recent developments within the cruise industry, beginning with Carnival Cruise Line's announcement that Gwen Stefani will serve as the godmother for the Carnival Jubilee. While acknowledging her popularity, the creator questions if a Texas-based celebrity would have been a more fitting choice given the ship's heavy Texas theme. The discussion then shifts to the increasing trend of celebrity tie-ins on cruise lines, noting roles such as Princess Cruises' romance ambassador, Randy Fenoli. Regarding itinerary changes, the creator reports that Virgin Voyages is rerouting ships around Africa to avoid the Red Sea and Suez Canal. Similarly, Princess Cruises has altered world cruise itineraries for the Island Princess and Coral Princess, removing stops in the Middle East and Asia. This has led to frustration among passengers who are unable to cancel their bookings without penalty despite the significant changes. Finally, the creator addresses a controversy involving the practice of hiding rubber ducks on ships. It appears some individuals are using these ducks to solicit business, which may violate Carnival Cruise Line's solicitation policies.
