The Mediterranean's Loss Is the Caribbean's Gain
Last week we reported on two situations, both in the Mediterranean, which caused cruise lines to change their itineraries on very short notice due to circumstances in ports. Today, we are seeing an instance of a cruise line move a ship on a year out due to expected shifting demand.
Today, Celebrity Cruises said they were moving Celebrity Equinox from its planned western Mediterranean program next summer to the Caribbean, allowing the line to offer a year round Caribbean program.

P&O Plans Pacific Dawn Refit
P&O Australia is expanding at Brisbane next year with the addition of Pacific Aria being based there, so it's only natural that they want the ship currently based there, Pacific Dawn, to be spiffed up to match Pacific Aria, so Pacific Dawn will get a refit in February.
Several public rooms will get the new striking contemporary look which has become a trademark of the P&O fleet. Pacific Dawn's buffet will also be replaced by The Pantry which is becoming a P&O signature feature, and the ship will have the first water slides aboard a Brisbane-based ship.
