Royal Caribbean’s ship the Wonder of the Seas has made its European arrival this week, first docking in Barcelona, Spain.

Wonder of the Seas will be conducting 7-night cruises from Barcelona and Rome for the summer season, beginning on Sunday May 8th.

Cruising has become less of an all-inclusive vacation over the years, with cruise companies selling lots of add-ons to increase onboard spending. However, there are still a lot of things included with your cruise fare. 

Starting today, May 2nd 2022, Carnival Cruise Line’s final ship to return to service, is resuming operations from Seattle, Washington. With the return of Carnival Splendor to service, it marks an important day for Carnival Cruise Line.

Over a period of the last ten months, Carnival Cruise Line has been operating a gradual and phased restart of its fleet, bringing them back into service one at a time, following the pandemic. The cruise line has continued to monitor safety guidelines and policies for its ships and passengers.

Disney cruises can be so much fun for a variety of reasons. Kids love seeing their favorite Disney characters, the kids’ clubs are magical and fun, and the entertainment, amenities, and service onboard the ships are top-notch.

There is another way to make your Disney Cruise Line vacation even more enjoyable. An unofficial tradition, Disney Cruise Line Fish Extenders, are a great way to interact with your fellow cruises, explore the ship, and get some magic for yourself.

Due to supply chain issues and challenges that Norwegian Cruise Line has faced, Norwegian Prima’s first sailing has been cancelled.

The cruise line has sent passengers an email, who are currently booked to sail with the new ship. The email explained to guests that the cruise line has been forced to delay Norwegian Prima’s inaugural voyage due to supply chain challenges.

Founded in 1972, Carnival Cruise Line is celebrating its 50th birthday this year, and will be introducing a new celebration space onboard Carnival Celebration, its newest ship.

Carnival Celebration is set to debut this November 2022. The new venue onboard Carnival Celebration will be called ‘The Golden Jubilee’. This new space onboard will consist of a bar and lounge, and its design will highlight Carnival Cruise Line’s evolution throughout the last 50 years.

The announcement was made this week at the Seatrade Cruise Global Conference in Miami.

Starting on May 9th 2022, at 8:00 am ET, guests will be able to book summer 2023 sailings with Disney Cruise Line.

May 9th is the date that the available summer 2023 sailings will be viewable, and bookable by the general public. While passengers who fall under the Castaway Club member program and other select guests, will be able to make bookings for the 2023 summer season as early as May 2nd 2022.

The internet has made booking trips easier and faster than ever, and some had seen this trend as the end of the travel agent.

But the turmoil of the pandemic and its aftermath have shown many travelers the benefits of using a travel agent.

As cruise lines are reporting record bookings, people are reconsidering booking on their own. In fact, leading travel company American Express noted in a research trend report that 60% of those surveyed planned on using a travel agent.
