Cruise News: Shark Attacks Cancel Carnival Excursions, Royal Caribbean Details More Icon of the Seas
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several updates within the cruise industry for late March. Royal Caribbean has revealed details regarding the onboard amenities for its upcoming ship, Icon of the Seas. The vessel will feature a Dueling Pianos bar in the Royal Promenade, a coffee shop and espresso cocktail service in the Aquadome, and a lounge named Overlook. Additionally, Central Park will host a new champagne window and a jazz lounge. Icon of the Seas is expected to debut in Miami next January. In South Pacific operations, Carnival Cruise Line has modified shore excursions for the Carnival Luminosa and Carnival Splendor in Naveza. This change follows recent shark attacks that led local authorities to ban swimming at certain beaches. Meanwhile, Norwegian Prima has returned to New York City following its first winter season in the Caribbean. The ship is beginning a schedule of cruises to Bermuda and has planned one way voyages from New York to Iceland and from Iceland to England. Finally, the report notes that cruise line stocks saw gains on Tuesday, with Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian all experiencing increases in their share prices.
