South Florida: too many ships?

Saturday, 21 Dec, 2010 0

More and more cruise ships sailing out of Port Everglades may create a problem, at least for owners but certainly not for travelers.
 

“The abundance of berths will mean more choices aboard top-rated ships — and often at surprisingly low prices,” concludes The Miami Herald.
 

Three more new ships — from Holland America, Celebrity and Seabourn – are arriving in South Florida. This winter, there could be as many as three dozen ships carrying 90,000 passengers at any given time.
 

That’s driven prices down for cruisers.
 

Even on upscale lines, prices sometimes fall below US$100 per person per day, double occupancy.
 

Accidents such as an engine fire that disabled the Carnival Splendor are not expected to impact prices, say cruise officials who think most would-be cruisers think such problems are rare.
