What is unusual this morning is that Carnival made a public announcement
that they were raising fares.

Hi George,

I agree with you that we are in a state of rising prices and cruise
lines notifying passengers in advance is a phenomenon we have not seen
in many years with a few exceptions. Other cruise lines such as
Oceania, Regency Seven Seas, and others have made similar
announcements recently. I believe this is a trend. At least the
cruise lines are making folks aware that prices are rising and they
should make their plans immediately if they want to avoid the price
increases.
