Fire Destroys Nassau’s Popular Cruise Hangout

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several significant developments within the cruise industry. A major fire occurred at the Arawak Cay fish fry in Nassau on Sunday, which destroyed several well known restaurants including Goldie's. Fire crews worked for over an hour to combat the blaze, which was complicated by nearby power lines catching fire. While damage assessments continue, no injuries have been reported at the site. In separate news, the Carnival Horizon experienced propulsion issues while returning from Curacao, resulting in an eight hour delay. The ship arrived in Miami with the help of two tugs, leading to delayed embarkation for the subsequent cruise. Affected passengers received a one day prorated fare refund and adjusted gratuities. Additionally, Royal Caribbean removed a passenger from the Anthem of the Seas during a sailing in New Zealand. The individual was disembarked in Dunedin following an alleged assault on another guest. Finally, the report notes that cruise stocks saw a decline on Friday, with Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, and Viking all experiencing downward movement.
