Carnival News

The Germans and Italians will be whipping up far more than kraut and pasta as Carnival’s nine ship order starts into motion at the Meyer Werft and Fincantieri yards. The lot of ships, including a rare, little detailed new design for Carnival are due to start coming online between 2019 and 2022. The new tonnage will replace at least seven older ships leaving service during the next three years. The newer ships will be larger than those they likely replace, leading to higher efficiency in operating costs and will likewise boast the latest features not possible on their predecessors. The dip in overall capacity should also aid in stiffening prices in the traditional Caribbean market while the new ships will command a higher per diem when they come online. What comes of the retire cruise ships is unknown. While it is likely some will find service in other lines the age and size of the most likely candidates would suggest the scrap yard for at least a few.

Tobago Buses Roll to Meet Demand.

From Cozumel to Falmouth, governments have been working to refine the tourist experience from end to end. Now, far to the southern edge of the Caribbean, Tobago has been following the trend among ports-of-call to upgrade basic services for tourists and cruise passengers.

Part of the Trinidad-Tobago Republic located off the north-eastern edge of Venezuela, the small island has added a fleet of 50 buses and spent the past year working to train local guides.

Tourism is the primary source of income for Tobago which is considered among the best diving areas east of the Panama Canal. Also noted for fishing and its two golf courses, Tobago hopes to add the “health and wellbeing” tourist trade to its stable of options. To facilitate smoother travel across the island the fleet of buses are centrally owned and their distribution across the island designed to avoid the chaotic taxi stands seen on some islands.

The move to build local transportation infrastructure came shortly before an industry trade conference which seems to have proven fruitful, the island expects a 67% increase in cruise passengers in the year to come.
