Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several significant developments within the cruise industry for mid-January 2023. Severe weather conditions in the Bahamas caused multiple cruise lines to cancel scheduled stops at various destinations on Saturday. Royal Caribbean vessels Liberty of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas were unable to dock at CocoCay due to heavy waves. Other ships from Disney, Carnival, and Norwegian also abandoned their planned calls in Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay. In addition to weather disruptions, Norwegian Cruise Line is implementing further staffing reductions. Following previous cuts to housekeeping staff, the company is now reducing its entertainment department and production shows, which includes the discontinuation of the show Kinky Boots. Finally, Resorts World announced the addition of the Resort World One to its fleet. This vessel will become the first ship to return to China and homeport in Hong Kong since the industry shutdown. The report concludes with an update on cruise line stocks, noting gains for Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line.
