Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry for May 29. A Royal Caribbean passenger named Tyler Wench was sentenced in Turks and Caicos to time served and a 9,000 dollar fine after authorities discovered two stray bullets in his luggage during security screening. The ammunition had been inadvertently left in his backpack from previous trips to a shooting range. In other news, the Carnival Legend is returning to service following a month of dry dock in Marseilles, France. The vessel received various upgrades including new pool decking, updated casino flooring, additional staterooms, and the creation of space for the chefs table. The ship also features a converted sports bar. Additionally, Carnival Cruise Line executive Brandon Bassador issued a warning regarding the use of wet wipes. He noted that even wipes labeled as flushable can clog the narrow vacuum plumbing systems on ships, potentially causing sewage overflows. Finally, the report notes that cruise line stocks, including Carnival Corporation, Norwegian, and Viking, saw increases in value on Tuesday.
