Norwegian Cruise Line cancelled the Norwegian Star’s calls to Mazatlan, Mexico, through April, after a Feb. 22 shooting in the tourist zone. Carnival Cruise Lines’ Carnival Splendor cancelled its Feb. 24 call.

Carnival Cruise Lines’ 2,124-passenger Carnival Legend has resumed Caribbean service from Tampa, following a 14-day dry-dock that renovated the children’s pool area and added Serenity, an adults-only retreat. Carnival Legend is now the 13th Carnival ship to feature Serenity.

Norwegian Cruise Line will add 58 new staterooms and suites to the Norwegian Dawn when it enters dry dock in May. The 28 new suites include two categories of family suites that can sleep up to six, executives announced during a Feb. 23 conference call with travel agents and press.

New cruise ship calls will be made to St. Lucia in the 2012-2013 season when Norwegian Cruise Line makes regular visits to the island. Tourism Minister Senator Allen Chastanet has announced that the top cruise company has added the Caribbean island to its Norwegian Sun’s Southern Caribbean itinerary for the new season.

The Carnival Splendor welcomed its first passengers since it emerged from dry dock to repair damages from an engine fire that crippled the ship last November. The vessel hosted travel agents and media on Saturday night at its homeport of Long Beach, Calif., before it embarked on it first Mexican Riviera cruise in three and a half months. The overnight stay (the ship remained docked) was a thank-you to travel agents, whom Carnival President and CEO Gerry Cahill lauded as instrumental in the logistics of rebooking guests who were affected by the accident.

As part of its corporate reorganization following the relocation of Seabourn to Seattle, Holland America Line has promoted Cyril Tatar to director of Seabourn technical operations. As part of his new responsibilities, Tatar will oversee the completion of construction on the Seabourn Quest, scheduled for delivery in May. He reports to Dan Grausz, executive vice president-fleet operations for Holland America Line and Seabourn.
