Creator's Key Takeaways
A harbor pilot was climbing up a rope ladder from a pilot boat in super rough seas and slipped, falling about 10 to 20 ft into the ocean.
Royal Caribbean just cracked down on smart glasses on board. Yep. If your glasses can record audio or video, security can confiscate them.
Carnival Cruise Line just shut down the idea of charging for Prime Pool lounges.
If your stuff sits on a chair for more than 40 minutes and you're gone, the crew can remove it. It's that simple.

In today's cruise news update, we wrap up the week with three major stories from Cruise Hive. First, a harbour pilot fell into the ocean while trying to board the Emerald Princess in rough seas at Nawiliwili Harbor, Kauai — thankfully he was rescued within minutes with no injuries, though the ship had to skip the port due to high surf. Next, Royal Caribbean has cracked down on smart glasses onboard, adding them to their prohibited items list due to privacy and security concerns — glasses that can record audio or video can now be confiscated. Finally, Carnival Cruise Line shut down a guest's suggestion to charge $20 a day for prime pool loungers, confirming there are no plans to charge for regular pool chairs and instead doubling down on their anti-chair hog rule.
