Creator's Key Takeaways

A man overboard alert on a Royal Caribbean ship turned out to be a prank by teenagers.

They were no doubt unaware that it is a crime to communicate false distress messages to the Coast Guard.

Tens of thousands of cruise passengers received emails this week revealing that their voyages were cancelled.

The cruise line has backed away from that and they said that your onboard drink packages can indeed be used at Great Strup Key.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Check your email for cancellation notices if you have a sailing on Freedom of the Seas.

✓Provide feedback to cruise lines as it can influence policy changes.
