Today's cruise news: Royal Caribbean massively boosts its Travel Protection Plan with no price increase, bumping emergency medical coverage from $25,000 to $100,000, medical evacuation from $50,000 to $500,000, and baggage protection from $1,500 to $3,000. Workers in Mahahual block the main access road to Costa Maya cruise port, stranding Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas and Enchantment of the Seas passengers as protesters demand profit-sharing payments. And Santorini officially approves a new rule funnelling up to 70% of cruise passengers through Fira Bay instead of Athinios Port, potentially creating longer cable car waits this summer.
