Storm Forces Cruise Ship to Stay at Sea

Editorial Summary

Doug Parker reports on several developments within the cruise industry from Rome. The Norwegian Getaway is experiencing itinerary changes due to severe weather forecasts. The cruise line informed passengers that worsening conditions at the Royal Naval Dockyard in Bermuda prevent a safe port entry. Instead of the planned four day stay, the vessel will spend an additional day at sea due to gale force winds and is now expected to arrive on March 20th. In other news, Celebrity Cruises has introduced updates to the Celebrity Infinity. These enhancements include an updated aesthetic for the Retreat Lounge, which was formerly known as Michael's Club, and the addition of new Sunset Suites at the rear of the ship. Looking toward 2025, MSC Cruises prepares for the launch of the MSC World America. The ship will be christened in Miami and is expected to be the largest class in the MSC fleet. Finally, the report notes mixed performance for cruise line stocks, with Carnival Corporation and Royal Caribbean seeing slight decreases while Norwegian reported an increase.
