Cruise News Today — July 22, 2022: Another Line Drops Testing, New Carnival Ship Keel Laid, Disney
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several updates within the cruise industry for July 22, 2022. Virgin Voyages has announced changes to its testing requirements, stating that it will no longer require guests to present a negative COVID-19 test for European or U.S. sailings starting in late July. The line is also allowing unvaccinated guests to occupy up to 10 percent of its capacity while maintaining a 90 percent vaccination threshold for each sailing. In shipbuilding news, the keel was laid for Carnival Cruise Line's third Excel class ship, the Carnival Jubilee, at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Germany. This vessel is the sister ship to the Mardi Gras and Carnival Celebration and is scheduled to sail from Texas in November 2023. Additionally, Disney Cruise Line has released its fall 2023 schedule. The Disney Dream will depart from New York City for Bermuda cruises before moving to Port Everglades, while the Disney Magic will operate Mexican Riviera cruises from San Diego. The Disney Wish and Disney Fantasy will continue their existing routes in the Bahamas and Caribbean. Finally, the report notes a decline in cruise line stocks, with Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian all seeing percentage decreases on Thursday.
