Cruise Ship NIGHTMARE Over 100 People Sick with Norovirus

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses several recent developments within the cruise industry, beginning with a norovirus outbreak on the AIDA Diva. This ship is currently one month into a 133-day world cruise, and the outbreak has affected 95 passengers and six crew members. Because the passengers remain on board for the duration of the voyage, the creator notes that the virus may be difficult to eradicate and could impact port arrivals. Moving to Norwegian Cruise Line, the creator reports that the NCL Gem and NCL Jade are scheduled for dry dock and refurbishment early next year. These updates include the addition of Vibe Beach Clubs to both ships, with the Jade also receiving a new Starbucks. Regarding Viking Cruise Line, the creator highlights their recent quarterly report showing they are 70 percent booked for next year. Viking intends to avoid the trend of private destination beach clubs to focus on more traditional, culture-based routes. Finally, the creator mentions a seasonal offering from Carnival, where passengers are permitted to wear tasteful Christmas pajamas to the holiday brunch, a privilege not available during the rest of the year.
