CRUISE NEWS - ROYAL AND NORWEGIAN CANCEL CRUISES
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides several updates regarding the global cruise industry, beginning with Royal Caribbean's decision to cancel all sailings to Saint Petersburg and other Russian ports for the 2022 summer season. This move aligns with a broader trend of cruise lines avoiding Russian stops. In Asia, the Genting World Dream cruise ship has reportedly been seized, similar to the situation faced by Crystal Cruises. Regarding European operations, Norwegian Cruise Line has canceled the Norwegian Epic's sailings out of Barcelona for the 2023 season, though the future itinerary for the ship remains uncertain. In Australia, there is significant political pressure to lift the current cruise ship ban, as recent polling suggests the ban could influence upcoming elections. Finally, the creator discusses a new customization option for Princess Cruise Lines' Medallion app, which allows passengers to add NBA and WNBA team symbols to their devices for a fee. The creator notes that while this adds personalization, there is still a desire for functional features like a clock on the wearable wristbands.
