Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean has canceled more than 20 Freedom of the Seas sailings that were scheduled from May through September of 2027.

Norwegian Cruise Line tried to make one of those changes again that sounds small on paper, but makes cruisers irrationally feral in real life.

Passengers aboard Oasis of the Seas went through a full-blown overboard scare this week.

There is now a residential cruise company called Fabled Voyages that says it's building a long-term live-at-sea concept where residents can bring pets.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't panic, but move quickly to check replacement sailings if your cruise is canceled.
Check your booking if you upgraded a beverage package due to the old change, as you may be able to cancel or downgrade.
Be annoyed efficiently by checking replacement sailings, reviewing airfare, and protecting your trip.
