Trip Bacon — The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several recent developments within the cruise industry. Royal Caribbean's Enchantment of the Seas participated in a rescue operation off the coast of Mexico after a group of people were found floating in the Caribbean Sea. The ship deployed a rescue craft to bring the individuals on board for medical care and water before handing them over to authorities. Regarding dining costs, Norwegian Cruise Line has implemented a five dollar fee for second entrees in main dining rooms to address food waste and service flow. This move has faced criticism from some passengers who view it as an unnecessary charge. Carnival Cruise Line maintains a different policy where charges only apply after a third entree. In legal news, a federal judge in Miami ruled that Carnival Cruise Line was negligent in a case involving a passenger who fell due to an unmarked gap on the Carnival Celebration. The judge awarded the injured guest 344,000 dollars in damages. Additionally, Princess Cruises has taken delivery of the Star Princess in Italy. This new vessel is part of the Sphere class and is currently sailing toward Barcelona for its inaugural cruise. Finally, the report notes that cruise stocks saw slight increases on Friday.
