Royal Caribbean To Update Suspension Dates

vos.2007.from.nos
During a webconference with travel agents today, Vicki Freed, Senior VP of Sales, said that although Royal Caribbean has already suspended sailings through May 11th, there would be news this week about that. Other cruise lines are already starting to extend cancelation windows deeper into the summer. Logically the coming news will likely see RCI mirror its industry peers and extend the brands suspension of sailings this year.

The Centers for Disease Control has issued an additional 100 day no-sail directive already. However several cruise lines including Royal Caribbean, are pushing back on the suggestion of not cruising that long. It remains that 80,000 crew members are on over a hundred ships across the industry. Sending crew members home is difficult due to travel restrictions in their home countries. The want to send them home is questionable as well since re-crewing ships after they have left the ship would be expensive and exceedingly hard.

Europe, select regions of the U.S. and other areas where the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus is peaking are starting plans for relaxing travel and economic restrictions. Johnson and Johnson is starting production of a non-approved vaccine in anticipation FDA approval and global distribution in early 2021. However the crisis the pandemic represents and the impact on cruising is far from over.

Getting Hitched Freestyle: Norwegian Cruise Line to offer legal weddings at sea. (NCL)

One of the draws to cruise travel is the romance of being in love and at sea. An almost cliché image is that of a ships captain performing a wedding for passengers. However with few exceptions, captains have been prohibited from doing so. The reasons range from simply keeping the busy ship masters from being bogged down by passenger requests to the basic legality of doing so. Most lines offer the ability to get married onboard a cruise ship before it departs, but these tend to require the bride, groom and guests to rush aboard and finish within an hour or two.

Enter Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) who will offer legal weddings at sea, performed by the ships captain beginning in the fall of 2015. For an added price which includes the services of a wedding planner and cake among other ceremonial trappings, couples can be wed. The line is also offering ceremonies before the cruise beginning and at select ports of call. One can also enjoy a strictly symbolic ceremony which has no legal standing. The marriage licenses for weddings at sea will be from the Bahamas and are recognized as legal in the United States.

Costa to Build Two for China

Costa has secured an agreement with Fincantieri, the Italian shipbuilder, to build two ships for 2019 and 2020. Each carrying 4,200 passengers they will surely mean the ship is a follow-on to the Vista class Carnival has begun to deploy. These news vessels will sail out of China and designed for that market specifically. If Costa retains the existing ships deployed in the Chinese market it will have five.
