World's Largest Cruise Ship Fixed After Emergency Repair [NEWS]
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Doug Parker reports on several updates within the cruise industry, beginning with Royal Caribbean's announcement that the Icon of the Seas has completed unplanned engine maintenance in Freeport, Bahamas. The ship is scheduled to resume its normal itineraries on October 5th. The report also addresses a viral video involving a Carnival guest who successfully brought a firearm on board during a security check earlier this spring. Carnival confirmed that the individual has been prohibited from sailing with the company in the future. In construction news, Royal Caribbean's Star of the Seas reached a milestone by entering the water for the first time at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland following nineteen months of construction. The vessel is expected to debut from Port Canaveral next August. Additionally, the Viking Odyssey has departed Belfast to begin a 1,300 day world cruise after experiencing significant delays. The segment concludes with a review of mixed cruise line stock performance and a personal message from Parker celebrating his 1,000th episode of Cruise News Today.
