gregorybrown+FollowRoyal Caribbean’s Crown Lounge DramaLoyalty perks just hit a snag for Royal Caribbean fans! On the Jan 18, 2026 Oasis of the Seas cruise, the exclusive Crown Lounge is off-limits to Diamond members during happy hour—only Diamond Plus and Pinnacle Club get in from 5-8 p.m. With so many top-tier cruisers onboard, space is tight. Other perks stay, but if you love that pre-dinner lounge vibe, you’ll need to plan around the new rules! #News #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseLife31Share

Charles Coleman+FollowCruise guest’s port mix-up costs entire tripMissing your cruise because you went to the wrong port? That’s exactly what happened to one traveler in Florida, who showed up at Port Everglades instead of Port Canaveral and watched their vacation sail away. Even after trying to catch up with the ship in Nassau, authorities denied boarding. The guest shared their story to warn others: always double-check your embarkation port, especially in Florida where several ports are just hours apart. Cruise lines and port authorities are strict about security, so last-minute fixes aren’t guaranteed. Has anyone else had a close call or travel mix-up like this? #News #CruiseLife #TravelFails10Share
Julie Padilla+FollowRoyal Caribbean’s Menu Drama: Veggies Are Back!Cruise fans spoke, and Royal Caribbean actually listened! After a ton of complaints about grilled veggies disappearing from the Izumi Hibachi meal (and being replaced with a $5 upcharge), the cruise line just reversed the change. Now, everyone gets their beloved veggies with their hibachi again—no extra fee. Proof that enough foodie outrage can bring back the good stuff! Would you have noticed if your cruise dinner sides changed? #News #RoyalCaribbean #CruiseLife10Share
suarezpatricia+FollowCruise Nightmare: Norovirus Strikes AgainImagine being on a dream cruise and suddenly, over 80 people get hit with the dreaded norovirus—aka the ‘winter vomiting disease.’ Passengers on Holland America’s Rotterdam had their New Year’s plans hijacked by stomach bugs, with vomiting and diarrhea spreading fast. Crew scrambled to isolate the sick and deep-clean the ship. It’s the second outbreak on this ship in less than a year! Would you ever cruise again after this? #Health #BodyHealth #CruiseLife31Share
Danielle White+FollowCruise Trends That Drive Everyone NutsCruise fans are DONE with a few annoying trends: kids running wild (especially in hot tubs), chair hogging (towels saving seats for hours), and gross hygiene habits. People are begging for parents to actually parent, for chair hogs to chill, and for everyone to wash their hands at the buffet. Can we please leave these habits behind in 2026? If you’ve cruised lately, you know the struggle is real! #News #CruiseLife #TravelFails10Share
Jamie Watson+FollowBahamas Cruise Just Got a Major UpgradeCruise fans, get ready—The Bahamas is planning a brand new cruise port on the remote island of Mayaguana, way off the usual Nassau route. This means more unique stops, fewer crowds, and a chance to explore somewhere totally fresh. Plus, Carnival is rolling out adults-only casino cruises, and Holland America is sending ships on epic world voyages. Who else is adding these to their bucket list? #Travel #CruiseLife #Bahamas50Share
Jacqueline Ray+FollowCruise Turned 'Puke Cruise' NightmareImagine booking a dream cruise for your parents’ 50th anniversary—only for a 'super flu' to sweep through your whole family! One mom shared on TikTok how her 21-person crew got hit hard, with coughs, fevers, and a mad dash to the ship’s medical center (which was NOT easy to find). Even the bathrooms were mysteriously closed—hello, puke cruise! With flu and norovirus cases spiking, is anyone safe at sea anymore? #Health #BodyHealth #CruiseLife90Share
