CRUISE NEWS - CRUISE SHIPS TURNED AWAY FROM PORT AGAIN
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses several recent developments in the cruise industry, beginning with a mechanical issue involving the Carnival Ecstasy. The ship experienced delays returning to Mobile, Alabama, after encountering difficulties with two lifeboats that required mechanical repairs. The report then shifts to instances of ships being denied port entry due to COVID-19 cases. The Sky Princess was denied boarding for a destination in Saint Thomas due to unspecified cases among crew and passengers, though the ship eventually compensated passengers with an overnight stay in an alternative port. Additionally, a Saga cruise ship traveling from the UK to the Caribbean was turned away by multiple countries and forced to return to the UK because of high infection percentages on the smaller vessel. In more positive news, Carnival Cruise Line is ending bubble shore excursions, allowing unvaccinated passengers to book regular excursions alongside vaccinated travelers. The creator notes this as a sign of easing protocols. Finally, the video mentions that Princess Cruises and Holland America are proceeding with full itineraries for their Alaska seasons without any planned skips.
