Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulations Printed by Williams Press (Berks) Ltd Towards recovery The Haitian earthquake of January 2010, which claimed the lives of over 200,000 people, was and remains a tragedy on a devastating scale. Royal Caribbean’s decision to continue sailings to its private resort, Labadee, 60 miles from Port-au-Prince, just three days after the disaster, provoked considerable media attention across the globe. While critics attacked the decision to sail there on moral grounds, Haitians welcomed the cruise industry’s return. Royal Caribbean was one of the first outside parties to bring aid to Haiti and has brought considerable amounts of help in the immediate aftermath. The cruise line donated $1 million, delivering food and water on every call and pledging net revenue from Labadee to the relief effort. The cruise company has a 30-year relationship with Haiti, a country that relies heavily on the cruise industry for the health of its economy. Royal Caribbean’s decision to return was simple, courageous and correct. As Adam Goldstein, Royal Caribbean president and CEO tells me, the cruise industry has a central role to the play in Haiti’s recovery. Our annual World <strong>Cruise</strong> Industry Review survey shows that while sales are down, passenger numbers are up and the industry continues to grow. 2010 Volume 1 £5.95 €8.00 $8.95 World <strong>Cruise</strong> Industry Review www.worldcruiseindustryreview.com <strong>Metamorphosis</strong> The changing face of shipbuilding in 2010 from new builds to refits Christopher Kanal, Editor From the Editor We examine how the cruise sector is emerging from the worst downturn for generations with a roundtable of industry insiders including David Dingle, chairman, ECC, CEO Carnival UK, Pierfrancesco Vago, CEO MSC Crociere, and <strong>Cruise</strong> Critic’s Carolyn Spencer Brown, who share with World <strong>Cruise</strong> Industry Review their analysis of current operations and future trends. A large proportion of the industry’s future health will be determined by the success of new launches such as the Oasis of the Seas, which we examine in detail now that the gargantuan ship is in service. Wilson Butler’s Scott Wilson discusses the interior design and ground-breaking facilities of the ship that has revitalised the global tourism industry when it most needed it. In the wake of the Oasis of the Seas and in anticipation of the inauguration of the Allure of the Seas in December this year, Kevin Douglas, vice-president of technical projects, newbuilds, for Royal Caribbean <strong>Cruise</strong> Lines, explains how it is easier to fund the building of new ships than renovate existing ones as surplus cash becomes a thing of the past, while Peter Fetten, SVP of refits of Carnival Corporation, discusses the challenge of refitting ships that meet market expectations and demographic trends. Also in this issue Page 29: Ian Duncan looks at the potential of Asia as a cruise destination and what this means for Europe. Page 66: RCI’s Frank Weber discusses the challenges of creating dining options for the Oasis of the Seas. Page 90: Phin Foster examines how the cruise sector can respond to the growing threat of piracy.
