2023 World Cruises Get More Creative - Cruise Industry News

If the secret to winning major tournaments - or even progressing beyond the quarter-finals - is peaking at the right time, then September 23rd will be circled on Irish calendars after the pool fixtures for the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France were released on Friday.

That is the date Andy Farrell providing he is still at the helm will lead his side into a third round clash with the defending world champions, South Africa, at the Stade de France. A daunting but mouth-watering proposition.

Ireland will be hoping to head into the fixture on full points, after they were drawn to play two qualifiers in the opening two rounds.

On Saturday, September 9th they meet the European runners-up in Bordeaux this is likely to be one of Georgia or Russia, who they faced in the 2019 pool stages.

Irelands second fixture will be played in Nantes against the winner of an Asia-Oceania play-off, with Tonga or Samoa another side they met in 2019 the likely opponents.

Then its a first trip to the capital and the familiar surroundings of the Stade de France, where the Springboks will be lying in wait.

Two weeks after a bruising encounter with the world champions they take on Scotland in Paris on October 7th, a fixture which is likely to be a straight shootout for the knockout stages.

Should they progress, Ireland will then meet the winners or runners-up of Pool A, which includes France and New Zealand, on the weekend of October 14th-15th again at the Stade de France.

The tournament will be given a highly-charged opening when the hosts meet the All Blacks in Paris for a September 8th curtain-raiser the latest chapter in their storied World Cup history, with the losers knowing they could be facing Ireland in the last-eight.

Elsewhere, Wales once again find themselves grouped with Fiji and Australia they meet the Pacific Islanders in the opening round on September 10th before meeting the Wallabies in Lyon in round three.

England, beaten finalists in 2019, begin their campaign against Argentina in Marseille on September 9th, followed eight days later by a clash with Japan in Nice.

Attending fixtures still seems a distant dream but details of when and where tickets will go on sale will be announced on March 4th. Fans wishing to register their interest can do so at tickets.rugbyworldcup.com.

The first tranche of tickets will be made available to World Rugbys official travel partners next month with Killester Travel operating as the Irish agent.

Rugby World Cup 2023: Ireland to kick-off in Bordeaux - The Irish Times

Stardew Valley has now made the return to the PlayStation Store in both Europe and Oceania after being delisted for more than six months due to an age rating issue.

The listing, which was first spotted by Eurogamer is now live in most of Europe, New Zealand, and Australia, although the UK listing is not live for some people, so you may have to wait for it to show up on your system or browser.

Back in August, the developer behind the life-sim highlighted the issue, before announcing the games return earlier this week. So, players who dont own it already will now be able to get their hands on the game which has become a hit across the world and on multiple platforms.

It took a lot longer for the listing to be restored than what was originally intended, but at least it is back now.

So said President and CEO Frank Del Rio during the company's business update Thursday.

The timeline is clearly stretching. Earlier this month, Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises all suspended sailings until June.

In the summer, ships are in Alaska,where it's currently not going to be possible to operate though Del Rio is 'cautiously optimistic' something may happen to remedy that and in Europe, where 17 of the company's 28 vessels are scheduled to be. In fall/winter, tonnage redeploys to the Caribbean, Panama Canal, Mexico and world cruises.

Del Rio gave no indication thefocus is shifting to Europe for a restart but couldn't guess when the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may give technical guidance so ships can move to the next phase in the statesideconditional sail order.

'It could be a few days, it could be a few weeks. We simply don't know,' he said. (Earlier this week, Royal Caribbean's Michael Bayley said he expected technical instructions 'any day soon.')

When the conditional sail order took effect in early November, the company expected a first-quarter start, likely in the Caribbean due to the season, and brought back ships and crew. But the first phase was more challenging than expected, and COVID-19 cases were spiking in the US. The company ended up sending 4,000 crew home.

'Today we are in a better place,' Del Rio said. 'At the end of the day, the prevalence of the disease in our own country and around the world will be the greatest indicator of when we can resume cruising.'

Health experts think infections will continue to decline heading into spring and summer, while 1.2m Americans a day are being vaccinated and more people have recovered from coronavirus and have antibodies.

Once test cruises are able to operate and CDC gives the green light, Del Rio doesn't believe it's a hard 60-day waiting period. However, for internal planning, he thinks a 90-day window is more feasible.

'We keep cruises available as long as we believe there's a chance we can operate. Once we know we start entering that 90-day or so window, we owe it to everyone in the ecosystem travel agents, consumers, employees, the crew to cancel cruises in the future.'

Mirroring Royal Caribbean's experience of a recent surge in bookings by over 65sdue to their priority vaccination, NCLH has seen a similar increase. Del Rio added they're retired and their stock market investments have held up well.

Oceania and Regent, whose customers' average age is 66-67, are already 40% booked for 2022, 'much better than they've ever been at this stage in the booking cycle.'

Ateneo center Ange Kouame goes for a basket as the Blue Eagles completes a 14-0 sweep of the UAAP Season 82 men's basketball elimination round after a masterful 86-64 victory over the University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons on Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2019, at Mall of Asia Arena.

The Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) has expressed its anticipation forAnge Kouames naturalization as the Philippinesreplaces New Zealand at the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament 2020.

Whenever we compete in international tournaments, we always aim to send the best team possible to make our Filipino fans proud, said SBP president Al S. Panlilio.

We will be coordinating with the PBA to plot our plans moving forward and were hopeful that Ange Kouames naturalization will be signed into law by then to give Gilas Pilipinas Men that added boost it needs to be more competitive, he said.

The Senate committee on justice and human rights on Wednesday approved the bill seeking to grant Philippine citizenship to student athlete Kakou Ange Franck Williams Kouame.

SBP on Friday announced that the Philippines will be represented in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament 2020 as the best ranked team from the Asia-Oceania Region after New Zealand pulled out of the competition.

This is truly a welcome development and were very happy that Gilas Pilipinas Men will be given a chance to compete for a spot in the Olympics, said Panlilio.

Panlilio said SBP chairman emeritus Manny V. Pangilinan had a conversation with FIBA secretary general Andreas Zagklis who informed him of the development.

Serbia will be hosting Group A in Belgrade with the Philippines and the Dominican Republic slated for June 29 to July 1. RC, GMA News
