Just For Fun

It's been over 10 years since the first cruise line announced an LNG-powered ship, marking a significant shift toward a cleaner, more environmentally friendly industry. 

AIDAnova officially became the world’s first cruise ship powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2018, capable of operating in port and at sea using four Caterpillar dual-fuel hybrid engines driven by LNG. Since then, over a dozen more vessels have followed, including the world's largest Icon Class ships. 

One of the most popular cruise add-ons is a drink package. For a set price, you can indulge in either a fixed number or unlimited premium non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages each day of your sailing. 

While they aren't required to have a great time, drink packages ensure you will have that all-inclusive feeling throughout your cruise. 

Have you ever wondered how you've traveled from Point A to Point B so fast while on your cruise vacation? 

You are not in your typical vehicle weaving through cars on the highway; there isn’t any traffic; and you aren’t stressing about getting to your destination at a certain time.

It is crucial to remind yourself that this is a completely different ballpark—you are on a big ship in the middle of the ocean where you are not in a rush! Your hands are not on 10 and 2, and there's no need to slam the breaks. You can simply relax as you glide across the water.

If you’re cruising soon and love listening to music, we recommend starting a cruise playlist.

On your next cruise, you might notice an upside down pineapple on a stateroom door while you're walking down the hallway or someone sporting a pin that's attached to their clothing! It is important to know what this subtle symbol stands for.
