Creator's Key Takeaways

On January the 19th, passengers boarding Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas out of Galveastston hit an unexpected snag as a full-on power outage occurred at the Royal Caribbean cruise terminal.

A serious incident happened on Winstar Cruis's Star Breeze on January the 19th while the ship was sailing through the Marquesus Islands in the French Polynesia.

As of January the 17th, Mexico has officially banned the import, sale, and distribution of vapes and ecigarettes.

The moral of the story, I think, is to keep it on the ship or leave it at home.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If traveling to Mexico, do not bring vapes or e-cigarettes due to the ban.
Keep vapes on the ship or leave them at home to avoid penalties.
