Cruise Ships Unable to Dock, Spending Days at Sea
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several developments affecting the cruise industry. Tropical Cyclone Alfred is currently disrupting operations near Brisbane, Australia, forcing several Carnival and Royal Caribbean ships to shelter at sea or divert. Carnival has canceled a three night cruise that was scheduled to depart yesterday and is providing full refunds to passengers. To assist travelers during the storm, the cruise line has also provided free internet access. In entertainment news, Norwegian Cruise Line is introducing four new production shows across nine ships to attract multi-generational audiences. These shows, including Red, White and British and Ignite the Night, will debut between this month and September. The company also plans to expand entertainment through live music and interactive performances. Additionally, MSC Cruises announced that actress Drew Barrymore will serve as the godmother of the MSC World America. A naming ceremony is scheduled for April 9 at the new Miami terminal. Finally, the report notes a decline in stock prices for several major cruise corporations, including Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Viking.
