Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Barker reports on several developments within the cruise industry. An investigation by the NTSB regarding an incident involving the Radiance of the Seas in Alaska has concluded. The report indicates that the ship struck a dock structure due to miscommunication among the crew and the use of outdated electronic nautical charts that did not reflect recent construction. This accident resulted in approximately 2 million dollars in damages. In other news, Princess Cruises announced new top deck attractions for the Sun Princess, which is scheduled to debut in early 2024. The new area, known as Park 19, will feature a zip line emulator, an adventure course, an observation deck, and a splash zone for children.
