ROYAL TESTING MAIN DINING ROOM CHANGES, BEST CRUISE LINE FOR THE MONEY, JAPAN CRUISES - CRUISE NEWS
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator discusses several recent developments in the cruise industry, beginning with financial analyst ratings for major cruise corporations. Following reports from UBS, Royal Caribbean and Carnival Corporation have received favorable target valuations, which the host notes is positive news for investors. The video then shifts to dining changes on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas, where a modified menu with fewer choices and potential surcharges for extra lobster is being tested to increase dinner service speed. The host notes that this follows similar cost-saving measures implemented by Carnival. Additionally, the report covers the reopening of the Yokohama cruise port in Japan after a two and a half year closure following the Diamond Princess outbreak. The host anticipates strict health protocols and vaccine requirements for travelers returning to the region. Finally, the creator reviews the US News 2023 cruise rankings. Virgin Voyages is named the best cruise line for the money, while Disney Cruise Line takes the top spot for the best cruise line for families.
