Royal Caribbean

Two Royal Caribbean ships removed their long-running Broadway shows.

Grease was axed from the entertainment line-up on Harmony of the Seas and Independence of the Seas, Royal Caribbean Blog confirmed. 

"Grease has been shown on both Harmony of the Seas and Independence of the Seas for many years, but the curtain has closed on that production," wrote Matt Hochberg, one of the foremost experts on Royal Caribbean cruises.

A group of Royal Caribbean cruisers was kicked off one of the line's biggest ships after fighting and disturbing other guests. 

The downfall of an organized streamers' cruise aboard Harmony of the Seas began when two of the live streamers got into an altercation on the pool deck. 

Halloween is a memorable time to take a cruise vacation, especially on the world's greatest party ship. 

To celebrate, Utopia of the Seas, Royal Caribbean's first-ever purpose-built weekend getaway ship, was transformed into a floating Halloween extravaganza.

Marc Walker, Utopia's Cruise Director, shared pictures of the ship decked out in spooky decorations. 

Three major cruise companies have stepped up and donated money to help aid the relief effort following Hurricane Melissa's catastrophic impact on Jamaica.

Hurricane Melissa, one of the strongest storms ever recorded in the Atlantic, devastated Jamaica when it pummeled the country as a massive Category 5 hurricane earlier this week. 

Melissa developed into a tropical storm on October 21. Over the next few days, the storm system rapidly strengthened under favorable atmospheric conditions into a Category 5 hurricane before making landfall in Jamaica. 

Royal Caribbean is bringing its exclusive beach club experience to Europe. 

On Tuesday, Royal Caribbean Group revealed in its third-quarter earnings report that it plans to open a new beach club in Greece.

The Royal Beach Club Santorini is scheduled to open in 2026 and will only be available to passengers on Royal Caribbean or Celebrity ships. However, local residents can purchase day passes to the beach club, based on availability. 

Cruise drink packages are often synonymous with free-flowing alcohol — think morning mimosas, poolside piña coladas, and pre-dinner cocktails. However, the alcoholic packages are expensive and can only be used on the sailing for which they were purchased. 

There's one drink package that is often overlooked, as it doesn't include soda, non-alcoholic energy drinks, bottled water, or cocktails. However, it's easily one of the most valuable for frequent cruisers. 

Royal Caribbean International, which was formerly known as Royal Caribbean Cruise Line when it was founded in 1968 in Norway, is one of the most popular cruise lines today. Having held the title of largest cruise ship in the world since 2006, they're known for their innovative ships filled from head to toe with thrilling activities.

They've also got some of the best entertainment at sea, with their Oasis and Icon Class ships allowing guests to watch Broadway-style musicals and high-diving acrobatic spectaculars at the AquaTheatre.
