YouTube Video Description↓

Today's cruise news: Carnival Cruise Line shifts Celebration Key port times earlier in the day across 50 different Carnival Elation Bahamas sailings between June 18th and April 6th, 2028, with no time ashore lost but the visits now happening earlier. Royal Caribbean overbooks Voyager of the Seas' June 19th Alaska sailing from Seattle, offering guests willing to switch a full refund, 50% future cruise credit, travel cost reimbursement, and a comparable stateroom on another sailing. And a wild rumour that Carnival Legend ran aground on a sandbar between Estonia and Finland is officially debunked, with the slow circling actually being a planned annual compass calibration during the ship's 12-night Baltic voyage from Dover.
