Austrian authorities are investigating after the river cruise ship MS Anna Katharina struck a quay wall and lock gate at Vienna's Freudenau lock on the Danube on July 24, injuring 14 of the roughly 200 passengers and crew aboard; six people were taken to hospital with back, neck and chest pain and were discharged within hours, and police say a possible technical defect is among the lines of inquiry. In Finland, Meyer Turku completed hull assembly on Royal Caribbean's Hero of the Seas, the 250,800-GT Icon-class ship due to enter service in August 2027 from PortMiami carrying about 5,610 guests at double occupancy, with nine pools and a 50-meter-wide AquaDome. And Holland America Line's Zuiderdam has sailed from Boston on the 35-night Voyage of the Vikings, a 20-destination run through Canada, New England, Greenland, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and the Netherlands that returns to Boston on August 20, ahead of the ship's turn in the line's $500 million-plus Evolution refit program.

A review of Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas in 2026. Earlier this year, Matt took a seven-night Caribbean cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas from Port Miami. Matt shares his experience navigating flight cancellations due to a Georgia storm and the Miami Marathon's impact on transportation. He praises the ship's cleanliness, exceptional dining in both the main dining room and specialty restaurants, and highlights Perfect Day at CocoCay, Puerto Rico, and Saint Thomas as memorable ports. Despite limited grab-and-go food options and slightly longer disembarkation, Matt considers the cruise excellent value, recommending it for families and couples alike.Hear his complete thoughts in this week's inerview.  Share your thoughts: doug@cruiseradio.net  Sponsor Cruise line protection is designed to help if you can't take your cruise. Third-party travel insurance helps protect you during the trip.

Today on Cruise News: Huna Totem Corporation is scaling back its Áak'w Landing cruise dock in downtown Juneau after costs topped $250 million, trimming the planned indoor space from 50,000 to 18,000 square feet even as Juneau's new daily passenger limits take effect for the 2026 season. In Finland, the Meyer Turku shipyard lifted the 25-meter-tall AquaDome onto Royal Caribbean's Hero of the Seas, the fourth Icon-class ship, ahead of its August 2027 debut from PortMiami. And Costa Cruises rolls out a summer sale with up to $500 off select cabins and up to 30 percent off its My Drinks package, with a booking deadline of August 9, 2026. Visit CruiseNews.io for the full stories.

Today's Cruise News covers three stories shaping cruise choices for the seasons ahead. Margaritaville at Sea welcomed its one millionth guest on June 25 and is preparing to add a third ship, the Margaritaville at Sea Beachcomber, which will homeport at PortMiami beginning January 2027. MSC Cruises launched a July 4 sale offering 40 percent off, free sailings for children, and 250 dollars off U.S. homeport departures, with five sailings crossing the holiday out of Galveston, Seattle, Port Canaveral, and Miami. And MSC confirmed that MSC Meraviglia will homeport in Southampton for 21 cruises in 2028, expanding the line's UK presence with British Isles, Northern Europe, and Norwegian fjords itineraries.

Today on Cruise News: Miami-Dade County moves to seize the Fisher Island fuel depot that supplies PortMiami, using eminent domain after the site's new owners signaled plans to close it for luxury residential redevelopment — a dispute with stakes for the busiest cruise port in the United States. Royal Caribbean's new Icon-class Legend of the Seas scraps its planned Cadiz drydock stop and heads straight to its July 4 maiden voyage after delivery from Finland's Meyer Turku. And Viking Ocean Cruises sets Viking Venus on a 22-night transpacific repositioning from Vancouver to Tokyo this September, trading Alaska cruising for overnight calls in Japan.

Trevor and Jenn hold down the fort solo this week — and yes, we noticed it's quiet. #WheresThomas? He's off visiting family, reporting in dutifully from each Buc-ee's along the way (a sacred roadside service to one's country, apparently). We get into the Great Buc-ee's Sameness, the FGGC road trip that "disintegrated into madness," and why no two Golden Crew members should ever be trusted with a steering wheel again.On the news front: Carnival's rolling out a fleet-wide "Frightfully Fun" Halloween event, kicking off aboard Carnival Illuminosa out of San Francisco on Sept 20 and haunting the rest of the fleet through October 31. Trevor walks through what a Halloween cruise is actually like (bring the costume, leave the prop guns at home).Then it's hurricane season — John Heald shared Carnival's behind-the-scenes look at the Fleet Operations Center in Miami, the NASA-looking command room tracking all 29 ships. TL;DR: if your port gets moved, it's for your protection, so go get a complimentary soft serve and relax. (As always, verify any Heald content against his real, verified Facebook page — there's a known impostor account out there.)Plus: a wild post-debarkation brawl at Port Miami off the Carnival Conquest that landed 16 passengers on the do-not-sail list, a hard-won cruise tip involving the Carnival melting cake (ask for peanut butter, thank us later), a moment of silence for the dearly departed Blue Iguana banana cream pie, and a SpeakPipe from Mikayla in Maine that cut off at the most dramatic possible moment — twice. We're choosing to believe she named her firstborn after us.

A review of Icon of the Seas.  Staff writer Richard Simms has cruise news. This week, we cover a record-setting day in Nassau as more than 33,000 cruise passengers arrived in port, ongoing chaos in Santorini as a controversial passenger distribution rule triggers another shutdown, and the tragic death of a pregnant fin whale believed to have been struck by Royal Caribbean's Ovation of the Seas near Seward, Alaska. We also discuss Royal Caribbean's decision to allow suite guests to bring non-suite friends into Coastal Kitchen for a fee, a massive brawl at PortMiami that resulted in 16 Carnival passengers being permanently banned from the cruise line, and Carnival's new limited-edition Bulleit single-barrel bourbon being sold aboard select ships as part of America's 250th anniversary celebration. Michael and Tiffany return to Cruise Radio to share their review of a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise aboard Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas. Sailing from Miami, they discuss what it was like experiencing one of the world's largest cruise ships and whether the hype lives up to reality. The couple shares their thoughts on the ship's layout, dining, entertainment, and crowd management, including why the vessel never felt crowded despite carrying more than 7,000 guests. They discuss favorites like Pearl Café, Giovanni's Italian Kitchen, Hooked Seafood, the AquaTheater production, and Royal Caribbean's adults-only Hideaway areas both onboard and at Perfect Day at CocoCay. They also talk about their visits to St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Perfect Day at CocoCay, along with tips for navigating the ship, finding quiet spaces, and deciding whether Icon of the Seas is worth the premium price.

A federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida returned a superseding indictment on March 10, 2026, charging Timothy Hudson, sixteen, with first-degree murder under 18 U.S.C. §1111(a) and aggravated sexual abuse under 18 U.S.C. §2241(a)(1) in the death of his eighteen-year-old stepsister Anna Kepner aboard the Carnival Horizon cruise ship. The case was formally transferred from juvenile to adult prosecution on April 10 after a federal magistrate judge approved the government's request. Both charges carry a maximum sentence of life in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000 per count. The death penalty is constitutionally barred because the defendant was a minor at the time of the alleged offense.Kepner, of Titusville, Florida, was found dead in her stateroom on November 7, 2025, while the ship was returning to PortMiami from international waters. Her body was located under the bed, wrapped in a blanket and covered in life vests. The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be mechanical asphyxiation. Because the alleged crime occurred in international waters, the case falls under federal jurisdiction.The superseding indictment alleges Hudson sexually assaulted Kepner by force and intentionally killed her during or in connection with the assault. Security footage from the ship reportedly shows Hudson was the only individual who entered and exited the stateroom during the relevant time period. Kepner's younger brother was outside the room and reportedly heard sounds consistent with a violent struggle. The defendant was on prescribed medication for ADHD and insomnia and reportedly had not taken his insomnia medication for two consecutive nights prior to the incident. Text messages between the defendant's parents, released through a separate custody proceeding, indicate Hudson's mother stated he repeatedly said he could not remember anything.Hudson was initially charged under seal in juvenile court on February 2, 2026, surrendered on February 3, and pleaded not guilty. He was released to the custody of his uncle under GPS monitoring with restrictions prohibiting unsupervised contact with any person under eighteen. On April 13, prosecutors filed a motion seeking to revoke Hudson's release and detain him pending trial. The defendant's attorneys have until April 20 to respond. Anna Kepner's father, Christopher Kepner, stated the family is placing trust in the justice system but expressed concern that Hudson has remained free despite the gravity of the charges. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It's just Trevor and Mr. Kennedy this week as the crew tackles a packed episode of Carnival cruise news, myths, and strong opinions.We break down Carnival's expanded adults-only sailings for 2026, including which ships we'd actually choose and whether these casino-focused cruises are worth the hype. We also clear the air on one of cruising's biggest fantasies: the so-called “free upgrade fairy” and why it almost never exists in today's fully booked ships.There's a heads-up for anyone sailing out of Port Miami, where a race day could create real embarkation delays, plus a look at Carnival's quiet increase to onboard service charges and how those extra percentages add up over the course of a cruise.We also wade into a surprisingly heated debate about working on a cruise ship, including laptop warriors taking Zoom calls at Java Blue, and whether Carnival should create dedicated business centers at sea.Finally, we tease next week's special segment, “Pack Like a Pirate,” where we'll share packing tips, mistakes, and must-haves. Listeners are encouraged to send in their own tips via Speakpipe for a chance to be featured.As always, opinions are strong, pants are optional, and anything that happens on the ship… stays on YouTube.

November 8, 2025, a small SUV drives up to the Carnival cruise ship docked at Port Miami. The thick letters on the side of the car read: MIAMI DADE COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER  FBI agents are seen bringing what appears to be a cadaver stretcher off the ship.  Just 24 hours before docking, in a cabin where three step-siblings were rooming together, a crew member finds a dead body.  An 18 year old girl named Anna Kepner, hidden underneath a mattress amongst blankets and life jackets.  The youngest sibling is seemingly ruled out and the most likely person of interest appears to be her 16 year old step brother...Whom Anna's father and stepmother seem to be defensively ‘protective' of.   This is the ongoing case of Anna Kepner's murder.   Full show notes available at RottenMangoPodcast.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

An 18-year-old high-school senior, Anna Kepner, boarded the Carnival Horizon in early November 2025 for what was supposed to be a weeklong Caribbean getaway. Within days, she was found dead onboard. The ship returned to Port Miami, and waiting at the pier were agents from the FBI. In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down the facts only — no speculation, no rumors. What do we actually know about what happened aboard the Carnival Horizon? Why does the FBI take the lead when a death occurs on the open sea? And how common are fatalities aboard cruise ships that carry millions of passengers every year? Tony unpacks the confirmed timeline: when Anna was found, when the ship returned, and how federal jurisdiction under Title 18 U.S. Code § 7 gives the FBI authority over deaths that happen in U.S. maritime territory. We also look at the bigger picture — how cruise lines handle onboard deaths, what the statistics show, and why so few details ever reach the public. This is not about gossip — it's about transparency, procedure, and accountability when tragedy strikes far from shore. A promising life ended in silence. The investigation continues. And we ask the question every parent and passenger deserves answered: How does someone die at sea — and why don't we hear the truth sooner? Stay tuned for updates as the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner and FBI release their findings. #HiddenKillers #TonyBrueski #AnnaKepner #CarnivalHorizon #FBIInvestigation #CruiseShipDeath #TrueCrimePodcast #MaritimeLaw #FBI #CarnivalCruise #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
