Carnival Corp. & plc announced on Wednesday in a Form 8-K financial filing it will get rid of two more cruise ships, in addition to the 13 ships it previously announced it would sell.

The decision to sell the ships are intended to align the fleet with the expected phased restart of guest cruise operations while also generating cost savings.

Royal Caribbean announced it has created a new role to manage the cruise line's health protocols, hiring Dr. Calvin Johnson as its first Global Health Officer.

Cruises are like floating cities. They've got their own housing, entertainment, stores, restaurants, spas and swimming pools, among other amenities that allow them to sustain life at sea. So, it's only logical that you might be wondering if cruise ships have a jail too.

When you think of a cruise ship, a jail cell is probably not what comes to mind. So it instantly becomes intriguing.

As cruises begin to slowly get started in Europe, the lack of progress to getting COVID-19 under control in the United States has Royal Caribbean Group Chairman and CEO Richard Fain upset.

In a YouTube video update, the head of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. was clearly frustrated at the lack of progress being made to contain the pandemic in the United States while every other developed country has dealt with it better.

What happens if you die on a cruise ship? Do cruise ships have morgues? It's unlikely that this type of morbid thinking is top-of-mind for anyone excited about an upcoming cruise vacation. These are the questions that pop into your head while you're in the shower getting ready for work, chatting over drinks with friends or lying awake in bed at night pondering the meaning of life.

Royal Caribbean has released a copy of its video game it designed for the kids club on its cruise ships, for use at home by children and their parents.

Called, "The Treasure of Barnacle Briggs®", the game was first offered on Royal Caribbean cruise ships that had been recently upgraded, including Oasis of the Seas and Freedom of the Seas.

Royal Caribbean and developer Firstborn took three weeks to adapt the onboard experience to a game you can download on your iPhone or iPad.
