Cruise Line Cuts Back Again, Room Service Now Limited

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several updates affecting major cruise lines. Norwegian Cruise Line is reportedly implementing new restrictions on room service orders. According to a passenger on the Norwegian Sun, guests are now limited to one hot item and one cold item per person for each delivery. While delivery fees and gratuities remain unchanged, this follows previous policy changes regarding dining room entrees and drink package usage at Great Stirrup Cay. In weather news, Hurricane Priscilla is impacting itineraries along the Mexican Pacific coast. The Carnival Legend has canceled a stop in Cabo San Lucas and will instead visit Acapulco for the first time in fifteen years. Additionally, Royal Caribbean has announced changes to its 2026 and 2027 winter lineups. Four vessels, including Radiance of the Seas and Rhapsody of the Seas, will swap home ports. The report notes that while the ships are changing, the itineraries themselves will remain the same for guests. Finally, the segment covers a decline in cruise stocks for Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Viking, and concludes with a photo submission from a passenger on Grandeur of the Seas.
