'I’m honored to take on this role for the second time and look forward to building on the great work that Arnold has accomplished during his time as chair,' Goldstein said. 'As the cruise industry continues to grow globally, it’s exceptionally important that we work together to ensure a positive experience for our guests and for the destinations we visit. I’m excited to collaborate with all of our constituencies to pursue this vision.'
