As we wind down the old financial year, we look forward to the new financial year.
What will be different and how will we benefit from starting a fresh?
Will your cruising habits change? will you be vacationing more or less?
Will cruising take a back seat and will the cruise lines change their loyalty structures much?
Carnival have put out there that they are looking to change from (VIFP) Very Important Fun Person to the rewards system. That has created a heap of controversy.
Will other cruise lines follow suit? where are we headed in the next 12 months?
We can only speculate, however, Australia is having an interesting cruising experience, We lost P&O cruise lines and their ships have been taken over by Carnival. interesting though, the proper “CARNIVALISATION” of the Adventure, Encounter and Luminosa has not taken effect. Some of “Cosmetic” Carnivalisation has been completed, but not all the services. As an example, Guys Burger or 24 hour Pizza is not on any of the ex P&O or Costa ships.
In Australia, we are looking forward to new cruise ports, new piers and new opportunity for tourism to come to our fair shores.
We want HUGE cruising improvement and as such, all Governments, be they local or Federal, will be called upon to assist in helping the cruising to successfully expand
