Cruiser Plunges OFF Dock and INTO Water, Man Overboard Responds
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several cruise industry developments for August 15. The report begins with an incident at Royal Caribbean's private island, CocoCay, where a passenger fell into the water after losing focus while filming a ship on a smartphone. Crew members from the Star of the Seas and Symphony of the Seas responded to the situation by using life rings and a jet ski to return the guest to shore. The report also covers updates from Princess Cruises regarding the upcoming Star Princess debut this fall. The cruise line is expanding its Magic Castle partnership by bringing the Spellbound experience to the new ship with more showtimes and a lower price point. Additionally, the ship will feature new theatrical productions and expanded daily programming based on guest satisfaction surveys. Finally, the news highlights environmental issues in Juneau, Alaska, where a glacial lake outburst has caused record flooding. While cruise ship operations remain unaffected, certain glacier excursions and trails are closed due to safety concerns. Travelers are advised to check with their tour providers before visiting the area.
