🚢 Cruise Chaos “Poop Cruise Averted!, Carnival’s Celebration Key Opens!

Cruisers, we’ve got another wild round of cruise news for you — and this one hits all the hot spots.

⚓ Story 1 – Another Poop Cruise Averted
The Norwegian Star lost all power and propulsion just hours into its 14-day transatlantic sailing out of Manhattan. No power. No A/C. No water. For a moment, it looked like we were about to see another Netflix-style “poop cruise” disaster. Luckily, the ship was tugged back to port and cleared after an 8.5-hour delay. But with its long history of propulsion failures (over a dozen!), how much faith do YOU have in this ship?

⚓ Story 2 – Carnival Opens Celebration Key
The first guests are finally headed to Carnival’s brand-new $200 million private island, Celebration Key, in the Bahamas. With space for up to four ships and over 100 itineraries already booked, this destination could become Carnival’s answer to Royal Caribbean’s Perfect Day at CocoCay. But here’s the big question: Will it feel like paradise… or just too crowded when four megaships dock at once?

⚓ Story 3 – Royal Caribbean Rubber Duck Ban
Is Royal Caribbean really banning cruise ducks? Well… sort of. The popular duck-hiding tradition isn’t completely gone, but Central Park’s 13,000 live plants have been taking a beating. So ducks are no longer welcome in the gardens. Is this fair, or are they ruining the fun?

👩‍🎤 We keep it real for Gen X cruisers—the ones who still remember the “poop cruise” news cycle the first time around but love watching cruise chaos unfold on TikTok.

👉 What do you think?

Would YOU sail on Norwegian Star after its history?

Is Celebration Key worth booking, or would you stick with CocoCay?

Should Royal let the duck-hiding tradition continue, plants be damned?
