Creator's Key Takeaways

Legend of the Seas is officially handed over today. Royal Caribbean took over the third icon class ship this week.

Part of me thinks 'Get me on board. Get me on board.' Not me. Other parts miss when mini golf and an extra sea day felt good enough.

Carnival announced a major initiative called The Next Course, new restaurants, new bar bars, updated dining room menus, faster dining.

The passengers on Margarita Ville at Sea Islander, they um thought they were hitting something when they experienced that earthquake.
