Creator's Key Takeaways

We've got a wild story developing off of the Carnival Marty Gro where potentially an adult went into the teen club and struck a child.

We also have word coming out from Australia that a 73year-old man has gone overboard on the Disney Wonder.

The a thick fog has rolled in on a cruiseport and it's causing a cruise ship to be delayed.

I'm a towel reuser and it's not because I'm that environmentally conscious. I'm just okay using the same towel twice.
