Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry for late October. The report begins with an incident involving a passenger who went overboard from Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas. After departing from Barcelona, the vessel was diverted to conduct a search and rescue mission. A rescue craft successfully located the individual and returned them to the ship, though the passenger was debarked in Spain on Monday. In other news, the Carnival Paradise has returned to service following a two week dry dock in the Bahamas. The ship features several upgrades, including a new hot tub in the Serenity area, casino improvements, ADA additions, new carpeting, and new windows. The vessel is currently sailing four and six night cruises from Tampa, Florida. Additionally, Holland America has launched a new Caribbean menu featuring regional flavors such as Jamaican banana pancakes and Cuban pork and cheese sandwiches. The report concludes with an overview of cruise line stock performance, noting increases for Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian.
