Creator's Key Takeaways
Disney Cruise Line just dropped its summer 2027 cruise schedule.
On February the 9th, things got spicy when officials from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority boarded the Carnival encounter during a port call in Darwin in Australia.
Carnival says it welcomes inspections, but unions say this is just the beginning.
Scooters must be 21 in wide or less for standard cabins, can't block exits, and will be measured at check-in.
