Carnival Scraps Cruise Elegant Night, Royal Caribbean Delays Cruise, Drought Chaos Grips Rivers

Today's cruise news: Europe's rivers got some rain but are not out of trouble, with low water still threatening Danube and Rhine cruises as Emerald, Saga, and Viking warn of ship swaps and reroutes. Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas has pushed its Alaska departure back two days for urgent maintenance, cutting the sailing to five nights and cancelling Sitka, Juneau, and glacier visits, with credits or refunds offered. And Carnival appears to be quietly phasing out formal night on select short cruises, replacing the traditional Cruise Elegant evening with a white-themed pool deck party called White Hot Night.
