Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry for September 6, 2022. The report begins with an engine room fire reported on Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas during its Alaska itinerary. According to guest accounts and onboard recordings, deck 6 was evacuated and fire teams were deployed, though the fire was reportedly under control by 10 pm. The vessel continued its scheduled itinerary to Juneau. Additionally, the Costa Luminosa is preparing for a transition to Carnival Cruise Line in Australia. Following a dry dock, the ship will be rebranded as the Carnival Luminosa and will feature new dining venues, a rebranded spa, and an adults-only serenity area. Finally, Carnival Cruise Line has implemented new curfew rules for minors. Guests aged 17 and under who are not accompanied by an adult aged 21 or older must leave public areas by 1 a.m. unless participating in specific teen activities. Brand director John Heald noted that failure to comply with these regulations could result in a ban from the cruise line.
