Cruise News Today — October 11, 2022: Cruise Ship Stuck in MS River, Record for Texas, NCL Ship
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several significant developments within the cruise industry for October 11, 2022. The Port of Galveston is projected to experience a record year in 2023, with 362 scheduled voyages and over one million passengers expected to pass through the city. This growth follows the opening of a new Royal Caribbean terminal. In news regarding Norwegian Cruise Line, the Prima completed its inaugural sailing from New York City to Halifax. NCL President Harry Summers noted that the company achieved a ninety seven percent success rate with the vessel. Additionally, the Viking Mississippi experienced significant disruptions due to low water levels on the Mississippi River. The ship was forced to halt its course after a nearby barge grounded, eventually leading to the cancellation of the cruise and the disembarkation of guests in Mississippi. The low rainfall in the region also resulted in the cancellation of a subsequent sailing from Saint Paul. Finally, the report notes a decline in cruise line stocks, with Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian all seeing percentage decreases on Monday.
