Carnival Steps Up Security Enforcement on Cruise Ships

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry, beginning with new security measures implemented by Carnival Cruise Line. The company is introducing two specific roles to enhance safety: a responsible service of alcohol supervisor and a youth security officer. The alcohol supervisor will monitor consumption at various bars to prevent underage drinking and over intoxication, while the youth officer will manage behavior in pool areas and adult only sections. The report also covers the financial performance of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, which reported a record third quarter with significant revenue and profit growth attributed to cost cutting and high demand in Alaska and Canada. Additionally, the Port of Mobile is considering expansion plans to attract a second cruise line to its terminals. This follows high demand for the Carnival Spirit, which frequently reaches full capacity. Officials are looking to add more parking spaces and a garage expansion to accommodate growth. Finally, the segment mentions the SS United States being prepared to become an artificial reef and provides a brief update on recent cruise stock market performance.
