Today on Cruise News: Australian gambler Mark Timothy Grant has won an appeal allowing his $22,000 compensation claim against Royal Caribbean over five casino-reward cruises to proceed before the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal, while the cruise line's card-counting allegations remain unresolved. Carnival Cruise Line is holding full, in-person muster drills on five ships departing September 26-28 from Long Beach, Miami, Port Canaveral and Norfolk, involving more than 18,700 passengers. And in Nagoya, Asian Games organizers blamed incomplete delegation paperwork for boarding delays on the Costa Serena, which is housing more than 4,000 athletes and officials during the Games.

Fuel surcharge clauses are back in focus for passengers sailing from Port Canaveral, where Carnival Cruise Line retains contractual authority to add up to $9 per person per day and Royal Caribbean up to $12, including on some fully paid bookings, while Disney Cruise Line's published U.S. terms show no active supplement. In Alaska, the Alaska State Fire Marshal's Office has declared the dock at Whittier's Chugach Glacier Gateway Cruise Terminal a total loss after a Sept. 14 fire; no injuries were reported, Norwegian Jade shifted its embarkation across the water, and the Oct. 3 commissioning of the USS Ted Stevens moved to the Holland America Princess terminal. And the Port of San Diego has opened its largest cruise season in more than 15 years, with 183 scheduled ship calls and more than 700,000 passengers expected, driven by new Royal Caribbean homeport operations and Disney's first two-ship deployment from the port.

Norwegian Cruise Line has closed all public hot tubs and private balcony whirlpools aboard Norwegian Prima after three Legionnaires' disease diagnoses involving passengers on May and July 2026 sailings, with water testing underway across showers, faucets and hot tubs, all results negative so far, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention involved; NCL says it has not been confirmed whether the exposure occurred on the ship or elsewhere, and Caribbean itineraries from Port Canaveral continue unchanged. Carnival Cruise Line replaced self-muster with full in-person muster drills on Carnival Magic's September 13 departure from Miami and Carnival Paradise's September 14 departure from Tampa, sending guests to assigned muster stations for life-jacket demonstrations under SOLAS and coast guard rules that brand ambassador John Heald says every ship must meet twice a year. And the Royal Canadian Air Force airlifted an ill passenger from a cruise ship about 200 kilometres northwest of Port Hardy, British Columbia, with a CH-149 Cormorant helicopter and CC-295 Kingfisher aircraft from 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron at 19 Wing Comox, coordinated by Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Victoria; the ship was not named and the nature of the emergency was not disclosed.

A review of Carnival Pride. Chris reviews a seven-night Carnival Pride cruise from Baltimore to Bermuda. He shares what it's like to sail on the nearly 25-year-old ship, including his interior cabin, dining, entertainment, crowds, the casino, and the overall condition of Carnival Pride. In Bermuda, Chris visits Snorkel Park Beach and Horseshoe Bay and shares tips for exploring the island with a family, including using local minibusses instead of cruise line excursions. Plus, Richard Simms covers the week's cruise news, including Carnival Freedom getting its whale tail back, a fire at the Whittier cruise terminal in Alaska, updates on Celebrity Compass and MSC World Asia, Royal Caribbean canceling mistakenly priced casita reservations, cruise line loyalty program overcrowding, and a lawsuit involving Virgin Voyages.

In June, Carnival Cruise Line held an event in New Orleans called The Next Course, where it introduced new restaurants and menus on its upcoming ship, the Carnival Festivale, and showcased its partnership with superstar chef Emeril Lagasse, the line’s chief culinary officer. It also served as a chance to talk about the latest in foodie trends, and how those trends are showing up on Carnival’s ships. In this episode we take that conversation even further with Carnival’s vice president of food and beverage Juan Fernandez and cruise editor Teri West. We talk about changes in dining hours, dining styles, drinks and more and how those changes dovetail or diverge with how consumers eat and drink on land. Plus: How Carnival developed its relationship with Lagasse and the new restaurants on the Festivale. Summer Series This episode is part of our annual Summer Series, where we feature some of our favorite recent Folo by Travel Weekly discussions.

Carnival Cruise Line has retired the VIFP Club in favor of Carnival Rewards, a spending-based program that launched September 1, 2026 and grants three redeemable points and three qualifying stars for every eligible dollar across Red, Gold, Platinum and Diamond tiers, with members who reached Diamond by August 31, 2026 keeping that status for life and the first earning window running through December 31, 2028. In Washington state, the Port of Anacortes is canceling 17 American Cruise Lines calls beginning September 7 amid a dispute with ILWU Local 25 over who handles mooring lines at Curtis Wharf, a cutoff that touches roughly 50 day calls per season on a service that began in 2013. And in Sydney, Crown Princess opens Australia's 2026-27 cruise season at the Overseas Passenger Terminal after wrapping a 114-night world cruise, ahead of a 35-night roundtrip taking in Brisbane, Fiji, Samoa, Hawaii, French Polynesia and Auckland, in a market that generated $7.32 billion in economic output in 2024-25.

Carnival Conquest interrupted a 14-day Caribbean voyage out of Miami to rescue a lone mariner whose sailboat had been disabled at sea for ten days, taking him aboard before continuing on to Grenada. Also on today's brief: the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered a new trial in a $10.3 million case against Carnival Cruise Line, vacating part of the judgment over a 2018 incident aboard Carnival Miracle after finding the district court improperly excluded an FBI report. And at Fincantieri's Marghera shipyard, Oceania Cruises floated out Oceania Sonata, an 86,000-gross-ton, 1,390-guest ship with 695 rooms and suites and 13 dining venues, now due for delivery in August 2027.

Philadelphia has opened a $60 million cruise terminal on the Delaware River, backed by a berthing agreement that keeps Norwegian Cruise Line sailing from the region through March 2033 with a minimum of 41 departures a year. Carnival Cruise Line opened sales on 144 Long Beach departures for 2028-29, with Carnival Radiance and Carnival Panorama running three- to eight-day Baja California and Mexican Riviera itineraries from May 2028 through April 2029. And Holland America Line added Nootka Sound to select 2028 Alaska sailings, part of a six-ship season built around its Great Alaska Explorer and Great Bear Rainforest routes. Today's episode looks at how cruise lines are reshaping North American departures and itineraries, from new homeports to expanded West Coast and Alaska options.

We discuss the latest cruise news, including passengers arrested after a prank aboard MSC Divina, Princess Cruises tightening its booking policies, Celebrity's gratuity increase, Norwegian canceling Norwegian Sky's farewell sailing, Carnival's new menu item, and Zac Brown Band's massive Margaritaville at Sea giveaway.

Today's Cruise News brief covers three stories. A Kentucky woman, filing under the pseudonym Jane Doe, has sued Carnival Cruise Line and spa operator OneSpaWorld over an alleged assault by a massage therapist aboard Carnival Vista on July 5, 2025, a complaint that arrives alongside Department of Transportation figures showing 135 sexual assaults reported on Carnival vessels between 2016 and 2025. In Italy, a July 3, 2026 court ruling voided the environmental approval for the 600 million euro Fiumicino Waterfront cruise port near Rome, a project 90 percent owned by iCON Infrastructure funds with a 10 percent stake held by Royal Caribbean Group, leaving Civitavecchia as the region's cruise gateway after it processed 3,556,559 passengers in 2025. And Disney Cruise Line is scaling up in St. Maarten, moving from three calls in 2026 to roughly 14 in 2027 following Disney Destiny's inaugural visit on July 1, 2026, at a port that welcomed 1,597,940 cruise visitors last year.

Most commercial kitchens have no clear picture of what they are throwing away, when, or why.In this episode of HappyPorch Radio, Barry O'Kane speaks with Anastasia Dellis, CEO of Orbisk, a platform that uses AI and computer vision to make food waste visible in commercial kitchens. The Orbi monitor sits above a waste bin, captures every item discarded, recognises over 800 ingredients, and feeds it all into a dashboard that tells chefs, GMs, CFOs, and sustainability teams what is happening and what to change first.Anastasia's path to Orbisk runs through two decades of scaling businesses, from Africa's largest retailer to Gorillas, one of Europe's fastest-growing startups in quick commerce. She describes recognising the intersection of her professional experience with a personal connection to food scarcity she grew up with in South Africa.What comes through most clearly is her conviction that kitchen technology only works at scale if it demands nothing of the people using it. No training, no buttons, no extra steps. That principle, which Orbisk calls "No Pause Dispose," is not an afterthought; it is the product.✨ In this episode:Anastasia explains how the Orbi monitor works: above the bin computer vision that captures every discard automatically, with no interaction from kitchen staffHow different stakeholders use the same data differently: a CFO sees margin gains, a chef sees ingredient-level waste patterns, and a sustainability team sees carbon metrics pulled into their auditing environmentAnastasia's path from growing up in her father's shop in South Africa to corporate retail to scaling Gorillas across nine markets, and how she found purpose alignment at OrbiskWhy mission alignment matters for the team and investors, even when customers buy purely on the business caseHow Orbisk's AI culinary assistant goes beyond dashboards to offer production, recipe, and training changes tailored to a hotel brand's standardsThe longer-term vision: moving from waste monitoring into forecasting and purchasing to become the intelligence layer inside every kitchen

Today on Cruise News: Margaritaville at Sea will bring its three-ship fleet — Paradise, Islander, and Beachcomber — together in Nassau on January 28, 2027 for a private Zac Brown Band concert at the Nassau Cruise Port Amphitheater, part of a five-year agreement guaranteeing 170 port calls and a projected one million passenger movements. Bacardi is expanding its reusable-packaging partnership with ecoSPIRITS after a Carnival Cruise Line pilot launched in August 2023 eliminated more than 130,000 single-use glass bottles and cut over 82,000 kilograms of packaging waste, using refillable ecoTOTE containers with SmartPour dispensing. And AIDA Cruises unveiled six themed winter 2026-27 sailings aboard AIDAnova and AIDAprima — spanning comedy, wellness, darts, a family program, Spanish nights, and a Norway ski festival — running from late November 2026 through late March 2027.

Today's Cruise News covers three developments from around the industry. Carnival Adventure missed its scheduled call at Mystery Island, Vanuatu, on July 11 after a technical issue with the pontoon door closing mechanism delayed departure from Port Vila and Vanuatu's biosecurity rules barred nighttime inter-island travel; Carnival gave guests AU$100 in onboard credit per stateroom and refunded prepaid Mystery Island excursions. Carnival Cruise Line also revived the Destiny name for its 2029 Ace-class flagship, a 230,000-gross-ton, LNG-powered ship from Fincantieri designed to carry more than 8,000 guests, echoing the original 1996 Destiny that was the first cruise ship to top 100,000 gross tons. And Norwegian Cruise Line completed its Vibe Beach Club rollout on Norwegian Jade and Norwegian Gem, bringing the adults-only sun deck to both Jewel-class ships alongside expanded Mandara Spa thermal suites and full Starbucks stores following three-week dry docks in May.

Today's Cruise News covers three developments across the industry. A hairstylist working aboard Virgin Voyages' Brilliant Lady, employed by a third-party concessionaire, faces two federal counts of abusive sexual contact tied to a nine-night Alaska sailing that departed June 23, 2026; his first court appearance was held July 6 in Tacoma, Washington. Carnival Cruise Line has revised two 2026 sailings in its Sailings Exclusively for Adults, or SEA, program: an 11-night Carnival Firenze departure from Long Beach on November 2 with a reordered Mexican Riviera port sequence, and an 11-night Carnival Conquest departure from Miami on November 30 that replaces St. Maarten with St. Thomas. And Holland America Line has placed a Jefferson's Bourbon barrel aboard each of its 11 ships to mature at sea for at least six months, expanding its Single Barrel Series as part of the line's America's 250th anniversary program.

Today's brief looks at how cruise ships are doubling as celebration venues, event hotels, and active resorts. Carnival Cruise Line hosts an America250 tribute for veterans and first responders in Jacksonville aboard Carnival Elation and plans Fourth of July homeport gatherings across its U.S. fleet, with new bow crests for Carnival Magic and Carnival Legend. AROYA Cruises' Aroya Manara is set to house more than 3,500 athletes and officials as a floating village for the 20th Mediterranean Games in Taranto, Italy, running August 21 to September 6, 2026.

From cruise line bans to drone regulations, learn how breaking travel rules can have lasting consequences. Discover why 16 cruise passengers were banned and what every drone owner should know before flying. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Cruise Vacations Can End with a Lifetime Ban  Cruise Chaos Ends with Lifetime Consequences for 16 Passengers  What began as the end of a relaxing cruise turned into a chaotic scene at the Port of Miami after two families became involved in a large fight while leaving the Carnival Conquest. Video of the incident quickly spread online, showing passengers exchanging punches as shocked travelers looked on and law enforcement rushed in to restore order. According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, the incident was considered a "mutual combat" situation, and no one involved chose to press charges. Even without criminal charges, Carnival Cruise Line took swift action, permanently banning 16 passengers from sailing with the company in the future. Carnival praised law enforcement for responding quickly and reiterated that violent or disruptive behavior has no place on its cruises. The incident serves as a reminder that actions taken both onboard and in cruise terminals can have lasting consequences long after a vacation ends. Reference: https://people.com/16-cruise-passengers-put-on-do-not-sail-list-after-massive-brawl-breaks-out-12005733? Can You Be Placed on a Cruise Line's "Do Not Sail" List? Many travelers don't realize cruise lines maintain their own internal "Do Not Sail" lists. Unlike the airline industry's government-managed No-Fly List, cruise companies independently decide who may be denied future bookings. Being placed on one can happen immediately following a serious incident—and in some cases, passengers don't find out until they attempt to book another cruise. Why Cruise Lines Ban Passengers Cruise vacations are designed to be safe, family-friendly experiences for thousands of guests living together in close quarters. Because of that, cruise lines enforce strict codes of conduct. Common reasons passengers find themselves permanently banned include: Physical fights or assaults onboard or in cruise terminals Threatening crew members or fellow passengers Severe intoxication leading to dangerous behavior Bringing illegal drugs or prohibited weapons onboard Damaging ship property Repeated violations of ship rules Filing fraudulent payment disputes or chargebacks after completing a cruise Even if local police do not file charges, cruise lines can still determine that a passenger violated company policy and prohibit future travel. No Criminal Charges Doesn't Mean No Consequences The Miami incident highlights an important distinction. Law enforcement determined the fight was a mutual combat situation, and none of the participants wanted to pursue criminal charges. However, Carnival still exercised its right as a private company to deny future service. Just as restaurants, hotels, airlines, and sporting venues may refuse service after violent incidents, cruise companies reserve the same authority through the passenger ticket contract every guest agrees to before boarding. Is There One Universal Cruise Blacklist? Not exactly. Unlike the federal No-Fly List used by airlines, there is no single worldwide "No Sail List" shared across every cruise company. However, several major cruise brands operate under the same corporate ownership. In serious cases involving violence, illegal activity, or significant financial losses, passenger information may be shared among affiliated cruise lines, potentially affecting future bookings across multiple brands. Know the Rules Before Flying Your Private Drone! Travel Smarter by Knowing the Rules Before You Go Flying drones in U.S. National Parks is strictly prohibited. The National Park Service enforces a federal ban on launching, landing, or operating unmanned aircraft on all lands and waters it administers. [1, 2] However, rules at State Parks vary widely depending on the specific location and state. National Parks: The ban applies to all U.S. National Parks, Monuments, and Historic Sites to protect wildlife, preserve natural quiet, and ensure visitor safety. Violating this rule can result in up to 6 months in jail and fines of up to $5,000. [1, 2, 3]  State by State: State-level rules differ dramatically. Some states ban drones entirely, others allow them only in specifically designated areas, and a few require you to apply and pay for a recreational or commercial permit in advance.  Federal Airspace: Manned or permitted flights require checking FAA regulations, including passing the TRUST test and using airspace applications.

Today's Cruise News covers three developments shaping how cruisers plan ahead. Carnival Cruise Line points to NOAA's forecast for a quieter 2026 Atlantic hurricane season — a 55% chance of below-normal activity, with eight to 14 named storms expected against an average of 14 — and details how its 35,000-square-foot Miami Fleet Operations Center monitors all 29 ships to steer captains into the safest water. Holland America Line will position the Oosterdam off the coast of Spain on August 12, 2026, for a rare "sunset eclipse," part of a 13-day Mediterranean sailing from Lisbon with astronomer-led commentary from Dr. Adam Burgasser. And in Singapore, the Singapore Cruise Centre sets a two-phase July 2026 move of ferry and cruise operations to a new HarbourFront terminal, beginning July 7.

On this week's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast: Hotels Edition, Sarah Dandashy and Steve Turk break down a week where hotel brands are redefining what they actually are. The conversation opens with Hyatt's lifestyle chief, Amar Lalvani, making the case that the smartest brand strategy is sorting guests by taste rather than price point — and showing what that discipline looks like in practice, including killing a high-profile Miami project because the developer wouldn't listen. From there, Sarah and Steve dig into Marriott International's move into branded apartment rentals under the W Hotels flag, a genuinely new direction for a business that already commands 30% premiums over unbranded properties. They also unpack what week one of FIFA World Cup 2026™ - Canada, Mexico and the United States data actually tells hotel operators, with RevPAR up 24% to 133% across host markets but occupancy down in six of nine cities. And they close with Carnival Cruise Line's Q2 earnings, which posted record revenue while trimming its outlook, and with what the Middle East conflict tells operators about building geopolitical risk into forward-booking strategy.
