Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses several recent developments affecting the cruise industry, beginning with new proposals in Juneau, Alaska. These proposals aim to codify existing agreements regarding passenger limits and ship counts while potentially eliminating the shoulder seasons of April and October. In New Zealand, the creator addresses concerns regarding Celebrity Cruise Line, noting that authorities are investigating reports of gray smoke from ships, though initial findings suggest the emissions may simply be steam. The discussion then shifts to Hawaii, where proposed new taxes per port stop and a transient tax could significantly increase costs. Norwegian Cruise Line has indicated it may fight these measures in court or withdraw its ships from the region entirely. Finally, the creator provides a warning regarding Carnival Cruise Line and plumbing issues. He explains that flushing non-approved items can clog the thin, interconnected pipe systems on ships, potentially causing sewage backups in multiple cabins and resulting in repair charges for the responsible passenger.
