Carnival Sunshine has changed its itinerary to skip Bermuda and will visit the Bahamas instead, remaining well away from Hurricane Erin. Carnival Cruise Line continues to monitor the storm closely and will alert guests on other ships if itinerary adjustments are necessary.

Major cruise lines are rerouting ships away from Hurricane Erin, which regained power after weakening over the weekend.

Monster Hurricane Erin is causing cruise disruptions, and bringing a lesser-known hurricane hazard to Bahamas beaches.

A recent Carnival guest shared what happened after they missed embarkation day and how they finally made it to their ship.

The Florida-bound Star Princess, the second ship in Princess Cruises’ largest class of ships, completed its sea trials before its planned debut this fall.

According to reports and a statement from Royal Caribbean RCL, the passenger did not fall through the hole, but was nevertheless injured when a piece of acrylic glass broke off from the slide. Icon of the Seas, which can hold up to 7,600 passengers plus crew, was dubbed the largest cruise ship in the world when it launched in 2024.

A fire on the Carnival cruise ship Triumph in 2013 resulted in the ship dead and adrift for several days. Food spoiled and toilets did not work.

With ships becoming ever larger, new innovations have enabled cruise lines to keep the intimate feel and personalized service for premium guests.
