Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several significant developments within the cruise industry. Carnival Cruise Line has reached a major milestone by welcoming its 100 millionth guest. This achievement was celebrated on the Carnival Sunrise with the recognition of two passengers from Ohio. The company notes it is the first cruise line globally to reach this specific guest count since its founding in 1972. In other news, Royal Caribbean has canceled an April 1st sailing for the Mariner of the Seas. The company stated that a routine dry dock period is taking longer than originally scheduled.
