I’m testing Bard, Google’s stab at AI (Artificial Intelligence) and asked this question: “What is the top cruising news of the day?” Below, in italics, is exactly what came back this morning:

Here is some top cruising news of the day:

• Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) reports that cruise travel is expected to reach 30 million passengers in 2023. This would be a new industry record, representing a significant increase from the 20 million passengers who cruised in 2022.
• Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) has announced plans to open a new cruise terminal in PortMiami. The new terminal will be able to accommodate NCL’s largest ships and will open in 2024.
• Carnival Cruise Line (Carnival) has announced plans to return to Australia in 2023. Carnival will operate two ships from Australia in 2023 and will offer a variety of cruises to destinations in the Pacific and Asia.
• Royal Caribbean International (Royal Caribbean) has announced plans to launch a new cruise ship in 2023. The new ship, which will be named Utopia of the Seas, will be the largest cruise ship in the world.
• MSC Cruises has announced plans to launch a new cruise ship in 2023. The new ship, which will be named MSC Grandiosa, will be the first cruise ship in the world to be equipped with a water park.

These are just a few of the top cruising news of the day. The cruise industry is constantly evolving, and there is always something new to report

I’ll start looking for another job now.
