MSC Cruises introduces fixed-price specialty dining and restaurant packages
Specialty dining on MSC Cruises ships will now mostly have fixed prices for a three-course meal. Guests will pay a set price for their choice of one starter, a main course and dessert.
Guests will pay an additional charge for special menu items like Ozaki beef.
Two restaurants will still have a la carte ordering available: Kaito Sushi and Hola! Taco and Cantina.
Specialty dining packages
In another new development, guests can purchase specialty dining packages with up to four restaurants for select cruises departing Miami, Port Canaveral and New York this summer. The option will be available for remaining eligible ships by next April, MSC said.
MSC said guests who purchase a specialty dining package before their cruise can save up to 20%.
Selected specialty restaurants may be repeated without restriction except for Butcher's Cut, which is limited to one visit per multi-restaurant package.
Ships that have two or fewer specialty dining restaurants will not offer the packages.
MSC said the changes to specialty dining are intended to simplify the experience and increase value and flexibility.

FAA limits flights at Newark airport for the rest of 2025
June 7 (UPI) -- Arrivals and departures are limited for the rest of the year at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. The restrictions took effect on Friday and limit arrivals and departures to 28 per hour on weekends while airport construction occurs from Sept. 1 through Dec. 31, the Federal Aviation Administration announced on Friday. Arrivals and departures also are limited to no more than 34 per hour during other periods through Oct. 25. "The confirmed reduced rates will maintain safety while alleviating excessive flight delays at the airport due to staffing and equipment challenges," the FAA announcement says. "The early completion of runway construction at the airport that added to the delays will also contribute to a more efficient operation." Similar travel restrictions "paid dividends" by enabling "smooth travel into and out of Newark" over the Memorial Day holiday, according to the FAA. Officials at the federal agency recently met with airline representatives to discuss problems at the Newark airport that triggered long delays and flight cancellations that left many air passengers stranded for hours and sometimes longer. The discussions led to the current flight restrictions while undertaking several improvements at the airport and regionally. The FAA is working to improve operations at the Newark airport by adding three new high-bandwidth telecommunications links between New York-based hubs and the Philadelphia-based terminal radar approach control system for regional air traffic control. Old copper telecommunications connections will be replaced with fiber-optic technology for greater bandwidth and speed, and a temporary backup system to the Philadelphia-based TRACON system will be active while improvements are done. The FAA also is increasing air traffic controller staffing by adding 22 fully certified controllers and five fully certified supervisors at the Newark airport and others in the area. "The U.S. Department of Transportation and the FAA will continue working with all stakeholders to ensure that the airport is a safe, efficient and functional gateway for passengers and air crews," the FAA announcement says.

Gavin Newsom And Jay Pritzker Offering Red States The Deal Of Lifetime
Government spending saps economic growth, which is no insight. It's stated routinely in my upcoming book The Deficit Delusion that the centralized and politicized allocation of goods, services and labor in sub-optimal fashion by politicians lays a wet blanket on economic growth. What makes the economically enervating nature of government spending worth mentioning is the ongoing debate about state and local taxes, also known as SALT. Governors in high-tax blue states would like to return to the old state of tax play whereby state and local taxes paid could be 100 percent deducted against federal tax bills. Red state citizens should take this gift from people with names like Newsom and Pritzker and run with it. Except that red state politicians are largely balking. So are their citizens. They see unlimited deductibility of state and local taxes as a subsidy of blue state taxpayers, and an incentive for blue states to tax and spend with abandon at a cost to federal tax collections. Their critiques speak to the undeniable good of an unlimited SALT deduction, for red states. To suggest otherwise is to imply that blue states benefit economically from excessive spending, all at the expense of the federal government's ability to spend. Actually, that's a feature of SALT, not a bug. Once again, government spending is economically harmful. The goal for red state politicians should be to localize the certain damage of government spending to the extent they can. Let California, New York, Illinois and New Jersey pursue a lot in the way of economy and freedom-sapping government so that the federal government has fewer dollars to harm the U.S. economy with. It's certainly odd, but not surprising, that blue state governors would clamor for an enhanced ability to further damage their economies with excessive spending born of high taxes. Much odder is that red states aren't taking the blue states up on an arrangement that to some degree erects a fence around economic foolishness. Red state politicians and their citizens yet again claim the SALT deduction subsidizes high-tax and high-spend blue states. More realistically, it subsidizes the red states that want neither. No doubt blue states see excessive taxing and spending in state as advantageous, and it should be obvious to red staters why: the discredited economic vision of John Maynard Keynes lives on most harmfully in blue states. Their politicians almost to a man and woman buy into the Keynesian notion that government spending grows an economy. Quite the opposite. With full deduction of state and local taxes, what an opportunity for red states to show why Keynes was wrong. Within them there's an underlying understanding that a government that does least does best. Which is yet again why red state politicians and voters should eagerly take the deal being offered from their taxing and spending opposites. The deal implies that blue states will foist more Keynes on their people, the red states quite a bit less. What a deal! Unknown is why red state politicians won't accept such a gift unless, of course, they're more wedded to discredited notions of government waste than their limited government rhetoric suggests.
