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

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creator discusses several recent incidents involving major cruise lines. The video begins with the Carnival Celebration providing food and water to refugees in an overcrowded rowboat who declined an offer to board the ship. The report then moves to the Spirit of Boston, a large tour ship in Boston that caught fire. While the fire spread quickly through the lower levels, no one was on board at the time and the situation was brought under control. The creator then focuses on Royal Caribbean, detailing ongoing engine issues with the Anthem of the Seas. These mechanical problems are causing itinerary changes and shortened port times for passengers through June. Finally, the creator addresses reports that Royal Caribbean has oversold an Alaskan cruise tour on the Radiance of the Seas. This follows previous instances of overselling and incorrect premium package availability on the Wonder of the Seas. The creator notes that passengers are being offered alternative tours and onboard credit, but expresses concern regarding the impact on travelers who have already booked independent flights and hotels.
