Fake Ride-Share Scam Targets Cruise Passengers
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry, beginning with a warning regarding a ride-share scam at Port Canaveral. A passenger traveling from the Utopia of the Seas reported being targeted by an individual claiming to be an Uber driver. Upon arrival at Universal Studios, the driver demanded 345 dollars for the trip, though the passenger eventually paid 100 dollars. The report advises travelers to verify vehicle details and confirm fares before entering unofficial vehicles. In other news, Port Miami reached a new milestone by hosting ten cruise ships in a single day. This event involved seven different cruise lines and approximately 68,000 guests. Additionally, Celebrity Cruises announced the cancellation of two upcoming sailings on the Celebrity Solstice for January due to an extended dry dock for repairs. Affected guests are being offered options including alternate ships with partial refunds, different itineraries, or full refunds. Finally, the report notes a decline in cruise stocks, with Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Viking all seeing decreases in their market value on Friday.
