Video Review: Disney Dream from CruisesIt.com


This video pushes Cruisesit.com's sales services a bit much, but it is super thorough and takes you on a tour of the ship form top to bottom. Definitely worth the watch.

Celebrity makes change due to terrorism concerns

Terrorism still looms over certain cruise ports. On Monday Celebrity Solstice passed Bali based on threats of terrorism in Indonesia. Because of the change, the ship arrived early in Darwin, Australia.

While some passengers were likely disappointed, the move makes sense. It is better to be safe and keep all the passengers and crew out of harms way.

More Anthem of the Seas problems

The Anthem of the Seas is having a rough go of it lately. The ship had to alter its most recent itinerary and return to New Jersey two days early in order to avoid another storm. The good news is that Royal Caribbean learned their lesson and erred on the side of caution this time. A shortened cruise is a better experience (and better PR) than another trip that puts passengers and crew in danger.

The decision was based on the new weather policy. Passengers will get a partial refund for the inconvenience.

Weather wasn't the only issue. There was a small norovirus outbreak too.

The new ship remains popular so this should not hurt future cruises or sales. Just hope that those future passengers don't run into the same bad luck on their trips.
