Cruise News - Carnival Cruise Passenger Dies, Icebergs Disrupt Cruise and More
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The host discusses several recent developments within the cruise industry, beginning with a tragic incident in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, where a 33 year old Florida resident passed away after drowning in the Blue Hole. In positive news, the World Poker Tour is partnering with Virgin Voyages to launch WPT at Sea on the Scarlet Lady, which will feature a dedicated poker room with eight tables and various tournament options. The report also covers significant travel disruptions, including the cancellation of Cunard's Queen Mary 2 transatlantic crossing due to technical issues and the cancellation of several port stops for the NCL Don because of icebergs and bad weather in the North Atlantic. Finally, the host examines a potential change to dining policies on the Carnival Mardi Gras. Carnival is currently testing a new system where the specialty dining at Chabang is limited to one free meal per cruise, after which passengers will be charged eight dollars per person for dinner. This change is being framed as a test to manage guest flow and ensure more passengers have the opportunity to try the restaurant.
