Royal Caribbean just announced their Icon of the Seas will skip its planned stop in Perfect Day at CocoCay for the next three weeks due to pier construction delays. The ship will head to Nassau instead. If you booked specifically for that private island experience, this probably stings a bit.
Celebrity Cruises rolled out new specialty dining packages that bundle multiple restaurants for one price. The catch is you have to book before you sail, not onboard like before. This could save money for food enthusiasts or create buyer’s remorse for light eaters who prepaid for seven courses they never wanted.
Norwegian announced they’re adding a fourth ship to their Cuban itineraries starting next fall. The Cuban cruise market keeps growing despite the political complications. For travelers, this means more options and potentially better pricing as capacity increases.
The real story here is how quickly things change in this industry. Ships get rerouted, policies shift, and new routes appear faster than most people can keep track. Flexibility matters more than having every detail planned six months out.
If you want help sorting through what any of these changes mean for your specific cruise plans, that is literally what we do.
