Emphasising a “perfect dedication to safety”, Royal Caribbean International president Adam Goldstein has announced the cruise company will undergo changes to update and improve on board safety procedures.

Following the Costa Concordia accident which resulted in the confirmed death of up to 15 people, Mr Goldstein said in a blog update mid-last week that the major cruise company will “hunt for every lesson learned” and apply changes across the fleet “ASAP”.

He explained that over the coming weeks the company will communicate to its customers by text and video some of the key features of its fleet’s safety while review areas such as recruiting, training, guest mustering and evacuation.

“... we do not need to wait for anyone or anything to underscore the preeminent role of safety in the daily life of every cruise ship and of the industry as a whole,” he said in his blog.

He added that the company is currently in the process of retrofitting its fleet with e-mustering procedures.

Meanwhile earlier this week Costa Cruise’s parent company Carnival Corporation announced it too had initiated a complete safety audit and review of all of its cruise lines.
