Creator's Key Takeaways
Royal Caribbean Symphony of the Seas was supposed to sail to the Bahamas. Nice, right? Except hurricane season had other ideas.
I've cruised through hurricanes plenty of times before, never had an issue.
Kudos to the crew of Enchantment of the Seas for this heroic rescue.

Booked the Bahamas and ended up in Canada? Well, that’s just the start. This week’s cruise chaos includes Carnival’s loyalty backlash walkback (sort of), a Reddit blow-up over SeaPass card storage, cruisers mad about port changes, the impact of the government shutdown on cruising, and a norovirus outbreak on Royal Caribbean. It’s safe to say, this week’s cruise news is nothing short of wild.
