CRUISE LINE RESPONDS TO ANGER OVER IT'S NEW SHIP DESIGN - CRUISE NEWS
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses several recent updates regarding Princess Cruise Lines, ranging from policy changes to new ship designs. One significant update involves changes to onboard credit programs, specifically noting that passengers can no longer combine Carnival stock credits with military or ex-military credits. Additionally, credits earned through Carnival shares are transitioning to a non-refundable status. On a positive note, the creator highlights that Princess Cruise Lines was voted the best cruise line in Alaska by Wave, an organization involving travel agent votes. The most controversial topic involves the upcoming Sun Princess ship and its Sphere class design. The creator explains that fans expressed frustration over new features like a ropes course, a jogging track, and a motorized zipline. Many loyal passengers expressed concern that these additions cater to a younger, family-oriented demographic, potentially undermining the mature, luxury identity of the brand. The creator notes that Princess responded to the backlash by clarifying they are not building water parks or roller coasters, but rather aiming for a park-like setting. The video concludes with the creator stating they will evaluate the new ship design firsthand during its inaugural sailing to see how the space is utilized.
