CRUISE NEWS - LUCKY RESCUE AT SEA, CARNIVAL CELEBRATION, NORFOLK CRUISE PORT, VIKING NEPTUNE
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The host provides several updates regarding the cruise industry, beginning with a report on Hurricane Nicole. While the storm caused wind damage in Florida, the Holland America Line ship MS Rotterdam was forced to remain at sea to avoid the weather. This detour allowed the vessel to discover and rescue individuals on a makeshift styrofoam boat between Cuba and Florida. The news also covers Viking Ocean Cruises, which has taken ownership of the Viking Neptune. This new vessel is expected to sail the Mediterranean before embarking on a world cruise. In news regarding port relations, Carnival is expected to make an announcement regarding its relationship with Norfolk, Virginia, potentially extending its presence in that city. Finally, the segment features a report from Doug Parker on the Carnival Celebration. Parker describes the ship's layout, noting that while it shares similarities with the Mardi Gras, it features improved seating options and a highly effective separation between smoking and non-smoking casino areas. He also highlights unique exhibits throughout the ship that feature items from former Carnival vessels.
