This Change Is Making Cruisers Mad
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Host Tony provides an update on various developments within the cruise industry while traveling on the Enchanted Princess. He begins by discussing how a Nor'easter has impacted travel itineraries, forcing his ship to skip Newport, Rhode Island, and causing the Carnival Sunshine to face delays in Norfolk, Virginia. Additionally, he notes that the Carnival Legend made an unscheduled stop in Aapoco, Mexico, marking the first time a Carnival ship has visited that location in fifteen years. The video shifts focus to recent policy changes by Norwegian Cruise Line that have drawn criticism from passengers. These changes include a new five dollar fee for a second entree in the main dining room and the removal of drink package coverage at Great Stirrup Key. Tony also addresses reports from the Norwegian Sun regarding new restrictions on room service orders under the standard flat fee. He concludes by expressing disappointment in these shifts toward profitability at the expense of the customer experience, suggesting that these changes may negatively impact brand loyalty.
