MORE CRUISE LINES ARE DOING THIS - CRUISE NEWS UPDATES FROM DISNEY, MSC, CARNIVAL, ROYAL, AND NCL
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides several updates regarding the current state of the cruise industry, focusing on schedule changes, food availability, and evolving health protocols. Disney Cruise Line has announced cancellations and shortened sailings for the Disney Fantasy in September, with longer cruises expected to resume in October. Regarding food, Carnival has extended a bacon shortage across its entire fleet, resulting in bacon being served only every other day. In luxury cruising, Windstar has renewed its partnership with the James Beard Foundation to offer themed culinary cruises through 2025. The creator also notes that Norwegian Cruise Line is resuming sailings with testing provided at the expense of the company. A significant portion of the discussion centers on a growing trend where cruise lines, such as MSC Cruises, are shifting the responsibility and cost of pre-cruise testing onto passengers. The creator examines both sides of this shift, noting that while it adds complexity and cost for travelers, it may help cruise lines reduce embarkation times and avoid the negative emotions associated with testing positive at the terminal.
