Cruise Line Goes Adults-Only, No Kids Allowed

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several significant updates within the cruise industry. Oceania Cruises has announced a transition to an adults-only model, stating that all new reservations will be restricted to guests aged 18 and older. This decision follows guest feedback requesting a more refined and relaxed environment. The policy change is currently in effect, though existing bookings involving minors will still be honored. In separate news, a Carnival Cruise Line passenger reported receiving a warning regarding child curfew violations on the Carnival Elation. The cruise line enforces a 1:00 a.m. curfew for minors, which requires them to be accompanied by an adult aged 21 or older in public areas. Failure to comply with these rules could result in a 500 dollar fine or a permanent ban from the line. Additionally, Norwegian Cruise Line has introduced several upgrades at its private island, Great Stirrup Cay, in the Bahamas. These enhancements include the Great Life Lagoon pool complex, the adults-only Shore Club, and new family play areas. Finally, the report notes mixed performance for cruise line stocks, with Royal Caribbean and Norwegian seeing gains while Carnival and Viking experienced slight declines.
