He called cruising the "best vacation experience there is," as well as well valued.
"It's a great opportunity for people to have a great holiday, hassle-free, and really enjoy themselves."
Donald said the Bahamas is "doing great" despite Hurricane Dorian slamming parts of the island in August, and the company is investing in the infrastructure there.

"We have a new project on Grand Bahama Island that we're looking forward to finishing," Donald said. "And we have a project on Half Moon Cay Private Island, a second project there. So, it's very active."
"People are having a great time, and we encourage people to go and enjoy the best of the Bahamas."

Coming off a record earnings year, Donald said they anticipate another strong earnings year.
"With regards to the holidays, I think bookings are pretty good," Donald said. "In fact, you know, my wife and I are taking 108 of my relatives on a cruise over New Years, and they're all very excited about it."
