Jerry Clark+FollowCruise Ship Power Outage: Would You Survive?Imagine being on a cruise, ready for poolside drinks, when suddenly—lights out, AC off, and cold sandwiches for dinner. That’s what happened to folks on the Celebrity Constellation when it lost power for two hours in the Ionian Sea. The ship drifted, cabins got stuffy, and the mood turned from vacation to survival mode. If you’re booking a cruise, maybe pack a portable fan and some snacks—just in case your trip turns into an adventure story! #Business #Industry #CruiseLife1111Share
Justin Dixon+FollowCruise Reality Check: Not What I ExpectedThought cruising was all about endless ocean views and poolside relaxation? My first mega-ship trip was more like a week-long battle with crowds, endless lines, and hunting for a free pool chair. Even the excursions felt like a race to beat the crowds, and the only real peace I found was early mornings before everyone else woke up. If you’re dreaming of a chill cruise, maybe think twice before booking a mega-ship! #Travel #CruiseLife #TravelTruth156Share
Linda Price+FollowWhy Cruises Are Still Selling OutCruise ships are packed, and people are dropping extra cash on everything from spa days to WiFi—even as ticket prices climb. Royal Caribbean just reported another blockbuster quarter, with more guests and higher spending than ever. The catch? Last-minute deals are getting rarer, and those fancy new ships are in hot demand. If you want to cruise, book early or be ready to pay up for those last-minute adventures! #Business #CruiseLife #TravelTrends40Share
Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowWhy Loyal Cruisers Are Winning BigEver wonder if sticking with one cruise line pays off?

ashley89+FollowNorwegian Cruise’s Bahamas Switch-Up!Booked a Bahamas cruise on Norwegian Getaway for Oct 2025? Surprise! Two out of three Bahamas stops (Nassau & Bimini) just got swapped for Cozumel, Mexico, all because of port availability. That’s over 600 miles off course! The cruise line says these changes happen, but guests are bummed—especially since it’s too late to cancel without big penalties. Would you be cool with a last-minute itinerary shakeup, or is this a dealbreaker? #Travel #CruiseLife #TravelNews53Share
Justin Dixon+FollowRoyal Caribbean’s New Ship Is WildRoyal Caribbean just dropped their biggest ship ever—Star of the Seas—and it’s basically a floating city. Think: waterpark, surf simulator, mini golf, swim-up bar, and rooms for 5,000 people (yep, even big family suites with bunk beds). Whether you’re all about the thrills or just want to chill by the pool with a drink, this ship has you covered. Cruises start at $900 and hit spots like the Bahamas and Puerto Rico. Who’s in for a sea adventure? #Travel #CruiseLife #RoyalCaribbean454Share
Alexander Black+FollowCruise Delays & Free Brunch Drama!Imagine being on a dream cruise and suddenly finding out you’ll be stuck at sea a little longer because the ship’s got engine trouble! That’s what happened on Celebrity Beyond—passengers are getting delayed disembarkation in Miami, and the next cruise is pushed back a whole day. The upside? Guests are getting refunds, hotel money, and a fancy brunch to soften the blow. But with rumors swirling about busted propellers, everyone’s glued to updates. Would you be chill or totally stressed? #Cars #CruiseLife #TravelDrama103Share
Alexander Thomas+FollowPerfect Beach Day... But No Island?!Imagine waking up to the most gorgeous Caribbean morning, only to find out your cruise isn’t stopping at Norwegian’s private island after all! The weather looked flawless, but rough sea swells made it too risky for the tender boats to shuttle us ashore. Instead, we got a surprise sea day packed with trivia, wine tastings, and dance classes. Bit of a bummer, but safety first! Good news: a new dock is coming soon, so future cruisers won’t miss out on Great Stirrup Cay. Wild how a perfect day can still mean a change of plans! #Travel #CruiseLife #TravelFails40Share
xwest+FollowCruise Turns Into Stomach Bug NightmareImagine booking a dreamy cruise to Mexico and ending up with 140+ people getting hit by a nasty stomach bug! Passengers and crew on Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas spent their July 4th trip battling vomiting and diarrhea. The CDC is still figuring out what caused it (Norovirus is a top suspect), but the ship amped up cleaning and isolated the sick. PSA: wash your hands and maybe pack extra meds if you’re cruising! #Health #BodyHealth #CruiseLife7146Share
Melanie James+FollowCruise Outbreaks: Should We Freak Out?18 outbreaks on cruise ships already in 2025—yikes, right? But before you cancel your trip, here’s the scoop: More people are cruising than ever, so yeah, more germs, but the CDC is still keeping tabs (even after layoffs). Ships are cleaned like crazy, and honestly, you’re just as likely to get sick on land. Just wash your hands, dodge the crowds, and you’ll probably be fine. Would you still book a cruise? #Health #BodyHealth #CruiseLife2719Share
