Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several updates regarding Royal Caribbean and broader cruise industry developments. Royal Caribbean has announced a new Western Caribbean destination called Perfect Day at Mexico, which is scheduled to open in 2027 near Cozumel. This new location will feature a water park, beaches, dining, and entertainment options, following the model of the company's existing Perfect Day at CocoCay in the Bahamas. Additionally, Royal Caribbean has resumed port calls to Labadee, Haiti, after a five month suspension caused by civil unrest.

Parker advises travelers to maintain direct contact with their cruise lines regarding itinerary changes and port openings, noting that many guests have expressed concerns via email. Finally, the report notes significant increases in cruise line stock prices for Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line. Parker concludes by mentioning local weather conditions involving tropical warnings and high winds.
