Carnival Abandons Bermuda

The surprise news has broken in Bermuda that after fifteen calls this year by Carnival Cruise Lines, the line has cut back its 2012 program from twelve calls to just one next April. The curious thing is that no one seems to have said why this is happening, except that Carnival have planned alternate itineraries elsewhere. In the UK, meanwhile, in another chase for revenue maximization, Royal Caribbean will abandon winter cruising from Southampton in favour of warm weather cruising from Fort Lauderdale for the foreseeable future. But P&O will have two ships running from Southampton instead. Ans back to Carnival again, after ten years of no increase, that line is hiking its recommended daily gratuities per person by 15%.
