CRUISE NEWS - MINUTES FROM DISASTER IN ALASKA AND MORE NEWS
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses several recent developments in the cruise industry, beginning with a rock slide in Skagway, Alaska. The incident occurred near the cruise docks early in the morning, narrowly avoiding a crowd of disembarking passengers. While the Discovery Princess sustained minor damage, other ships like the Quantum of the Seas and Carnival Miracle faced logistical challenges, including missing the port or utilizing tenders. Authorities are currently assessing the damage to the dock area. In corporate news, the creator notes rising cruise stocks following positive earnings from Carnival and highlights that Royal Caribbean Group has returned to full fleet service with the sailing of the Celebrity Infinity. Additionally, Fiji has reopened to cruise ships after a two year hiatus, though it maintains strict requirements regarding vaccinations, antigen testing, and international COVID insurance. Finally, the Bahamas has updated its policies by removing testing requirements for children aged 12 and under. The creator suggests that as more Caribbean destinations ease testing mandates, the legal complexities regarding vaccine documentation in Florida may also shift.
