IT GOT EVEN WORSE, CRUISE NEWS

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses several recent developments within the cruise industry, beginning with an illness outbreak on the Serenade of the Seas. The number of affected passengers and crew members has reportedly reached nearly 100 people following a Panama Canal journey. The creator notes that the ship is scheduled for upcoming sailings without apparent delays for embarkation, which may be due to low occupancy allowing for cleaning. Regarding Royal Caribbean, the video covers the development of a new private beach club in Nassau. The company plans to use colorful shuttle boats, such as the Lucky Lizard, to transport guests rather than using traditional tenders. The discussion then shifts to a controversy involving Carnival Cruise Line and their policy of requiring prepayment for specialty dining reservations. While some guests view this as a money grab due to a lack of flexibility, a large number of respondents in a social media poll defended the practice as a way to ensure availability for interested diners. Finally, the creator highlights a humorous sign in Portland, Maine, which welcomed diverted cruise ships by calling the location Northern Bermuda.
