Creator's Key Takeaways

I had the pleasure of speaking with someone that was actually on the Enchanted Princess when the pipe burst and water was cascading um down everywhere.

Royal Caribbean is one of the cruise lines that often uses the cruise port there in Seward.

Perfect day of Mexico is not going to be happening.

The gentleman who is now the mayor of Barcelona doesn't want any more cruise ships bringing passengers to Barcelona just for the day.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have a cruise booked on Royal Caribbean this summer, especially Ovation of the Seas, know what you're going to do if you're booking your own private tour leaving from Seward.
Have in your back pocket what you're going to change and what you're going to do instead if port changes occur.
Know how to cancel what you would have booked in Seward so you can book the ship's transfer at the last minute if needed.
