Carnival Sunshine lost power overnight near Chesapeake Bay

Currently on Carnival Sunshine and we had a pretty scary few hours early this morning. Around 1:55am on March 1 we lost power, propulsion, and sanitation. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel was visible ahead of us, so we weren’t that far out. Power cut in and out a few times....

ICE detaining a US citizen onboard a Carnival cruise feels… not okay

Not sure why this isn’t getting more attention, but I’m honestly pretty shaken by the report of ICE boarding a Carnival ship and detaining a US citizen. Carnival already has passengers’ citizenship info, so why is this being allowed to happen onboard in the first place? Cruises...

Guy arrested getting off a cruise for bestiality videos… what the hell did I just read spacecoastdaily.com

Just read this and honestly had to double check it wasn’t satire. A passenger got off a cruise in Florida and was stopped by CBP for possible child porn. Turns out it wasn’t that, but instead videos of adults doing sexual stuff with animals. On his phone. Fifteen counts. $300k...

Royal Caribbean lawsuit says a passenger was served 33 drinks before he died cbsnews.com

Just read the CBS piece and it’s honestly awful. A 35 year old guy on Navigator of the Seas was allegedly served 33 drinks in a few hours, got lost trying to find his cabin, and things escalated so badly that security tackled him, pepper sprayed him, and even had him injected...

Tourists maybe having to share 5 years of social media to enter the US reddit.com

Saw this and honestly kinda stunned. Asking visitors to hand over five years of their socials feels extreme. I can’t imagine digging through all that just to take a cruise or a quick trip. Curious how they’d even verify anything or what they’d do with that info. Feels like it’d...

Crew member on Icon of the Seas got punched by a passenger

Saw a post going around that a lifeguard on Icon of the Seas was punched by a passenger. Not many details yet, but honestly that’s enough. Just disgusting behavior toward crew who are literally there to keep everyone safe. Really hope the passenger gets booted and banned.

Royal Caribbean pauses Haiti stops - my upcoming cruise just changed foxnews.com

Just got the email about my March Eastern Caribbean sailing being modified due to Royal suspending Labadee port calls until spring 2024. While I'll miss that gorgeous private beach and the Dragon's Breath zip line (longest over-water zip in the Caribbean!), I completely...

Viking feels more “upper premium” than true luxury liveandletsfly.com

I’ve cruised a lot with lines like Seabourn and Silversea, so I was surprised to see Viking priced and positioned as full luxury in the WSJ. They do a nice job with WiFi, drinks, and excursions included, but the service ratios and dining just don’t feel in the same league as the...

A Somber Morning Aboard Norwegian Star cruisehive.com

I’m currently sailing on the Norwegian Star, and early this morning, just north of Newfoundland, we were woken by short horn blasts and a Code Oscar announcement the signal that someone has gone overboard. The atmosphere on board instantly shifted. I saw lifeboats being lowered...
