Cruise Ship Crew Member Rescued After Going Overboard

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several recent developments within the cruise industry. The report begins with an incident in Crete where a thirty year old Tunisian crew assistant fell overboard while the ship was docked. Fellow crew members provided a life jacket and the Coast Guard performed a rescue, finding the woman conscious and in good health. While the vessel was not officially named, tracking data suggests the ship involved was the Costa Deliosa. The news also covers a Princess Cruise ship that experienced a seven degree list due to fifty mile per hour winds during a world cruise near southern Australia. Although the tilt caused damage to onboard shops and the cancellation of activities, no injuries occurred. Additionally, Carnival Cruise Line celebrated thirty five years of service at Port Canaveral with a ceremony held on the Mardi Gras. The company noted it now homeports more ships at that location than any other line. The report concludes with an update on cruise industry stocks, noting gains for Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Viking. Parker provides these updates from the Carnival Luminosa in Skagway, Alaska.
