Michael Bayley doesn't think the cruise industry was treated fairly at all during the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic because of how they were unjustifiably associated with the virus spread.

During a question and answer session with cruise fans on Ovation of the Seas, Royal Caribbean International President and CEO Michael Bayley reflected on the pandemic and talked about how the cruise industry was treated.

"At the beginning of the pandemic...the cruise industry was generally regarded as the bad actor, which I have to tell you was totally unreasonable and unfair."

Disney Cruise Line is a family cruise line that caters to Disney-loving families.

Disney Cruise Line is known for offering everything from enchanting entertainment with its Broadway-style shows to delicious dinners in themed restaurants and character meet and greets. Don’t forget the firework show at sea - the only of its kind that's sure to leave you speechless! 

With second quarter performance showing a surge of bookings and increased occupancy for sailings, Carnival Corporation is hopeful about the cruise line’s future.

Even with the threat of an impending recession, Carnival Cruise executives and analysts think the cruise line is well positioned to handle any economic downturn. 

While certainly not recession-proof, Carnival's executive team expressed confidence in the company’s long-term outlook. This is, in part, because of pent-up cruising demand from the pandemic. 

Carnival Corp. released its second quarter financial update on Friday, June 24 with overall positive news for the cruise line. The company reported its revenue has increased 50% and bookings have doubled since the first quarter. 

Today's cruise ships keep getting bigger and bigger. 

As of December 2024, the biggest cruise ship in the world is Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas, followed by Utopia of the Seas. 

Both of these ships are massive compared to one of the most infamous ships of all time: RMS Titanic. Back in 1912, she was the world’s largest cruise ship. Built by the White Star Line, Titanic departed Southampton for its inaugural (and final) voyage in April 1912.

Life is busy and things pop up, and sadly sometimes we need to cancel a Carnival cruise. While this is not a fun prospect, it is something we should be prepared for.

Before you book a cruise, it is a good idea to understand cancellation policies, especially as they relate to any promotional pricing and packages. Details regarding how much money you will get back, timeframes, and processes are all things to know ahead of time before you commit to making any booking. 

Celebrity Cruises is known for offering a premium cruising experience at an affordable rate. From jaw-dropping entertainment, stunning and modern venues, to cuisine crafted by Michelin-star chefs, a Celebrity Cruise is sure to leave you wowed from the minute you step onboard. 

Although most cruise lines do not offer a completely all-inclusive experience, your base cruise fare already includes so much. 

If your cruise gets cancelled, there's a good change you may end up with a future cruise credit.

A future cruise credit (FCC) is a credit offered to cruise guests in lieu of a refund.  This provides the guest with a monetary value that can be applied to a future sailing, and it has its own set of rules and important things to know.

How you can use your future cruise credit and redemption rules can sometimes be a bit confusing.
