suarezpatricia+FollowCruise Nightmare: Norovirus Outbreak!Imagine being stuck on a 133-day cruise and suddenly over 100 people get hit with a nasty stomach bug—vomiting, diarrhea, the works. That’s what happened on an AIDA Cruises world trip after stops in the US. The crew scrambled to isolate the sick and deep-clean everything, but the CDC is still monitoring the situation. Would you stick it out or jump ship at the next port? #Health #BodyHealth #CruiseLife10Share
Jennifer Reyes+FollowWhere Old Cruise Ships Go to RetireEver wondered what happens to cruise ships when they're too old to party at sea? Some get a second life as floating hotels (like the Queen Mary in California), while others are sold, rebranded, or sadly, scrapped for parts. If a ship isn’t worth fixing up, it’s broken down and recycled—think of it as extreme upcycling! But beware: shipbreaking can be risky for workers and the environment, so there’s drama over how and where it’s done. Next time you sip coffee, imagine your mug might be made from a former cruise ship! #Business #Industry #CruiseLife10Share
Justin Dixon+FollowCruise Lovers, This Is a Game ChangerEver get FOMO when your cruise ship leaves port too soon? Holland America Line just dropped new itineraries with overnight stays in Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji—meaning you can actually soak up the local vibes instead of rushing back to the ship. Think: late-night Melbourne cafés, extra time at the Great Barrier Reef, and real-deal Fijian traditions. Slow travel is officially in, and I’m obsessed with this trend! Who’s in for a longer adventure? #Travel #CruiseLife #TravelGoals20Share

The good news? The grand opening is still set for Dec. 23, and guests who missed out will get some exclusive swag. Would you be annoyed or just more hyped for the big reveal? #Travel #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseLife00Share
Dr. Michael Henson+FollowCruise Dreams vs. Reality: Why I Jumped ShipI was all in for the cruise life—sunsets, cocktails, new cities every day. But after a sneak peek, the crowds, hidden costs, and environmental guilt totally killed the vibe. Turns out, those quick port stops barely scratch the surface, and I missed real local connections. Swapping my cruise for slow travel in one spot? Game changer. Sometimes, less really is more when it comes to adventure. #Travel #TravelTruths #CruiseLife00Share
pbrewer+Followcruise ships: vacation or floating prisons? 🚢 People love cruises—buffets, entertainment, all-inclusive “freedom.” But step back: you’re stuck on a floating mall with 4,000 strangers, breathing recycled air, and spending half your time lining up for food. They sell it as luxury, but really it’s consumerism at sea. Pollution in the oceans, underpaid workers, and guests who never actually see the countries they “visit.” So, are cruises the future of travel—or the ugliest symbol of mass tourism? #Travel #CruiseLife 116Share
Brooke Martin+FollowCruise Ship Wars: Royal Caribbean's Big BetRoyal Caribbean is going all-in on mega-vacations, building four new ships at once—think floating resorts with waterparks, beaches, and theme park vibes. Why does this matter? More ships mean more choices (and deals!) for your next getaway, but it’s also a race to out-wow other cruise lines. If you love options and exclusive beach clubs, your vacation game just leveled up. #Business #Industry #CruiseLife00Share
