Think he missed the biggest trend. Companies are positioning more of their fleets to attract Asian and South American customers.

[SeaBands]

Fox news to get everything right. Sorry, correct, since all their news is RIGHT.

I searched for these "short" cruises that were allegedly being offered by HAL according to the article.

 

All of them are 1 time only cruises used to reposition ships to and from from Alaska. There are no regularly scheduled cruises offered less than 7 days.

 

Thanks to Fox News for its usual accurate reporting. :rolleyes:

[prescottbob]

Ahoy!

 

Actually the author of the article is Paul Motter, editor of the CruiseMates.com site & not a reporter for FN.

 

It's an interesting site that's been around awhile.

 

We report, you decide.

 

Bon Voyage & Good Health!

I am happy to see the resurgence of traditional dining vs anytime dining.

 

Hope it is true.

Thanks for sharing, PrescottBob.

I also hope it's true, about the dining.

 

Interesting notes about first timers vs returning.

Hope it is true.

 

I am in agreement of enjoying traditional dining and hope the above is true, however the news on "trends" depend on the article.

 

The article below is taking the trend in the opposite direction.

paul motter of cruisemates, IS on the payroll of fox news. as a consultant and commentator on cruise affairs. he is NOT unbiased.

[rwams]

Thank you for the information.

[prescottbob]

Ahoy!

 

Unbiased? Hmm...

 

I found the article apolitical regardless of sourcing.

 

Be well.

 

Bon Voayge & Good Health!

Does Fox News have a dog in the fight? (Sorry, that was not intended as a pun.)

[mariner]

Only if the ship steers to port

[Typhoon1]

Crude trending down in the New Year. Does that mean lower prices?

 

Probably not.
