Cruise News: Carnival Moving Ship from NY to Florida, Unrest During Cruise, SpaceX | CruiseRadio.Net
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several updates within the cruise industry for May 17. Carnival Cruise Line has announced that the Carnival Venezia will change its home port from New York City to Port Canaveral starting with the 2024-25 winter season. The vessel will offer seven night Eastern and Western Caribbean voyages along with two 14-day Carnival Journey sailings to the Southern Caribbean. In technology news, Holland America's Koenigsdam is currently utilizing SpaceX Starlink internet while sailing in Alaska. The low latency satellite technology was installed during a dry dock in April and has received positive feedback from guests and crew regarding connectivity. Regarding itinerary changes, guests on Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas experienced disruptions during a 12-night Holy Land voyage. Due to political unrest in Israel, the ship skipped the port of Ashdod and departed Haifa shortly after arrival. The vessel instead visited Santorini and Crete to compensate for the missed stops, and passengers were provided onboard credits. Finally, the report notes mixed performance in cruise line stocks, with Carnival Corporation and Royal Caribbean remaining flat while Norwegian saw a decrease.
