To Whom It May Concern:
We came across this information in the trades and thought it would be of
interest to this newsgroup as well.
Celebrity Cruises' yields are now moving above those of sister Royal
Caribbean, Richard Fain, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.'s chairman and Dan
Hanrahan, Celebrity's president, told financial analysts during a quarterly
earnings call Friday. That's a big achievement considering that for several
years Celebrity, considered a premium product, was underperforming in
pricing when compared to its contemporary sister brand, Royal Caribbean.
Officials said the yield improvement began last year, is continuing into
this year, and that Europe and Alaska are performing well. In addition,
Panama Canal yields are up, as are yields for Hawaii and South American
cruises. Good itinerary planning has been one reason, Hanrahan said.
Happy sailing,
John Sisker
