As more ships compete for cruisers in China, it’s no surprise that prices are dropping. But as long as returns remain higher than the global average, expect operators to keep flooding the market.

That a board member offered Arnold Donald the Carnival CEO job, and not Micky Arison, shows that Arison was shoved out of the post. Soon, push will come to shove about all the incremental changes that Donald is making, some of which were well under way when he took the post. Did Carnival do right by selecting someone with no cruise operating experience? We'll know by 2015.
