Disney Cruise Line has announced that its highly anticipated new ship, Disney Adventure, will not debut until March 2026, several months later than originally planned.
The 208,000-ton vessel, under construction at the MV Werften shipyard, was due to launch in December 2025.
Instead, all sailings between 1th5 December 2025 and 9th March 2026 have now been cancelled.
In a letter to booked passengers, Disney explained that the additional time is needed to complete the ship to its signature standard, noting “unexpected delays in the shipbuilding process.” The inaugural sailing is now scheduled for 10th March 2026.
Compensation for Affected Guests
Guests booked on the cancelled voyages will receive a full refund, along with a 50% discount on a future sailing.
Those originally due to sail on the first voyage will automatically be rebooked on the rescheduled inaugural cruise, with their fare adjusted to reflect the reduced cost.
The future cruise credit must be applied by 31st March 2026, for departures no later than 31st March 2027.
Passengers who cannot join the new inaugural sailing can instead apply the discount to another itinerary.
Disney apologised for the disruption, acknowledging the disappointment caused by the delays.
The Largest Disney Ship Yet
Originally planned as Global Dream, the unfinished vessel was purchased by Disney and is being redesigned into a fully themed Disney experience at sea.
Once complete, Disney Adventure will become the line’s largest ship, with capacity for more than 6,000 passengers.
The ship will be homeported in Singapore, offering short “cruises to nowhere” for the Asian market.
The vessel is packed with unique attractions and themed areas that promise to deliver the brand’s signature storytelling at sea.
A standout feature will be the Marvel-themed adventure zone on the upper decks, which includes the Ironcycle Test Run – set to be the longest rollercoaster at sea – along with Pym Quantum Racers and Groot Galaxy Spin.
Families can also look forward to a Toy Story water park and a Moana-inspired pool area, complete with live performances.
Elsewhere onboard, Disney Imagination Garden will host lively stage shows such as “Avengers Assemble!” and the “Let’s Set Sail” dance party.
At the ship’s aft, Disney Discovery Reef will bring together favourite characters from The Little Mermaid, Finding Nemo, Lilo & Stitch, and Luca, alongside new venues like a sports bar, Cosmic Kebabs eatery, and Bewitching Boba and Brews bubble tea bar.
Guests will also be able to explore San Fransokyo Street, inspired by Big Hero 6, which will feature teen hangouts, Baymax cinemas, shops, and even hidden entrances to kids’ clubs.
The Town Square neighbourhood will round out the experience with themed dining venues, Broadway-style productions at the Walt Disney Theatre, and Spellbound, a dramatic lounge inspired by the Evil Queen from Snow White.
Disney Adventure recently departed Germany for early sea trials, signalling progress towards her completion.

One of the world’s most famous “cruise directors” wasn’t actually a cruise director at all. Julie McCoy was a beloved character on the hit TV series The Love Boat – a role that catapulted actress Lauren Tewes to near-household fame.
But behind the scenes, Tewes’ journey was far from plain sailing. A very public battle with drug addiction led to her sudden exit from the show, before she later made a comeback once she regained control of her life.
In this guide, we’ll dive into Lauren Tewes’ fascinating story, from her rise to stardom to the challenges she faced away from the cameras – and where she is now.
1. Lauren Tewes Played Julie McCoy
The Love Boat cruise director, Julie McCoy, was played by actress Lauren Tewes. Tewes had started getting serious work as an actress in 1974 but it was a guest spot on TV show Starsky & Hutch which got her spotted by Aaron Spelling, the producer of The Love Boat.
Tewes’ first big break in acting came for a Lipton Ice Tea commercial in 1974, so she had only been seriously acting for three years when she joined The Love Boat.
Indeed, she was only cast in the role the day before filming started on the third pilot episode – the story goes that she got the phone call telling her she had the part at 9 pm the night before, asking her to report on set at 6.30 am the next day!
Tewes held the role until 1984, when she was fired, although she later returned for one more episode in 1985 and reprised her role for the TV movies in a later season. She has fully reconciled with the show and often makes appearances for reunion interviews.
2. Her Name Is Not Pronounced “Te-wes”
Lauren Tewes pronounces her surname as “Tweeze”. Her full name is Cynthia Lauren Tewes, although she was billed as Lauren Tewes during her acting career. Today, in interviews, she is sometimes referred to as Cynthia and sometimes as Lauren.
She is best known as Lauren, though, and when Princess Cruises invited the actress onto a cruise to celebrate her 60th birthday, they made sure to wish “Lauren” a happy birthday on the big screens on the deck of the ship, although her cake was made out to “Julie”.
There is some confusion over the pronunciation of her surname and some people mistakenly say it as “Tooz”. She has confirmed that “Tweeze” is the correct way to say her name.
3. The Julie Character Was Replaced
The character of Julie McCoy was replaced by her sister, Judy McCoy, at the start of season 8. Judy McCoy was played by actress Patricia Klous, who had made her name in the CBS TV comedy-drama Flying High from 1978 to 1979.
Klous would remain with the series until the main seasons finished in 1986, with Lauren Tewes returning for a guest episode in 1985. When the TV specials began in 1986, Tewes had returned to the role, and Klous was not included.
Klous had actually already appeared on The Love Boat prior to her role as Judy McCoy. She guest-starred in episode 17 of season 5 and then appeared in a more prominent role in the first episode of season 7 as Laurie.
The character of Judy McCoy was often known for being frustrated as others on the show confused her with her sister Julie.
4. Julie Was Written Out of the Show Because of Tewes’ Struggles
On the show, the character of Julie McCoy was written out by saying she got married. But in reality, actress Lauren Tewes was fired from The Love Boat due to a cocaine addiction that had spiralled out of control.
Once Tewes was released from the show, she was able to get past her addiction and make a return, initially making a solo guest appearance and then fully returning for the TV movie specials.
5. Tewes Did Become Addicted to Drugs, but Overcame It
Lauren Tewes developed a drug addiction during her time on The Love Boat, which ultimately led to her being released from the show. She later overcame her addiction, got clean and was able to return to the show.
Lauren Tewes’s cocaine addiction was quite the scandal at the time. In Tewes’ own words, despite the popularity of the drug at the time in Hollywood and TV, to her, it seemed like only she was being punished for her addiction. She admits that the addiction started in the late 1970s, well before she was fired from The Love Boat.
Tewes has since been interviewed about her addiction, where she laments the fact that the tag “former cocaine addict” seems to follow her around, even though she was able to make a return to the show once she had beaten her addiction.
6. Tewes Was Fired Due to Her Addiction
Julie McCoy left The Love Boat between seasons 7 and 8 in 1984. The character did not receive a farewell on the show as the actress playing her was fired in between seasons. Instead, the character’s absence was explained at the start of the first episode of the eighth season.
Considering how Julie, the cruise director, was such a popular role, the writers decided they had to replace her with a similar character, hence the introduction of her sister Judy McCoy. Thankfully for fans and for Tewes, Julie was able to return to the show later.
Tewes was also invited to make an appearance on a special ‘reunion’ episode of Love Boat: The Next Wave. This was a follow-up show that was made in 1998 and only lasted until 1999, taking place on the Sun Princess. The reunion episode saw several Love Boat cast members return.
Julie featured prominently in the episode, with the big reveal that the character had been in love with ‘Doc’ Adam Bricker, played by Bernie Kopell, all along and that he was also in love with her.
Thank god the character finally got a truly happy ending, considering everything she had been through!
7. The Character Was Written Off Without Tewes Appearing
Julie McCoy was written off The Love Boat at the start of season 8. She did not appear in the episode where her character was written off – instead, Captain Stubing, played by Gavin MacLeod, announces to the rest of the crew that Julie has left the ship after getting married.
Julie appeared in one more episode – episode 8 of season 9 – as a guest. She then made a full return to the show for the TV specials, where she announced that her marriage had ended and so she was returning to her job as cruise director.
8. The Story Used Was That Julie Got Married
Cruise director Julie did get married on The Love Boat, although fans don’t see the wedding happen. It happened between seasons 7 and 8, and the storyline is the reason that Lauren Tewes was written out of the show.
Fans would no doubt have been disappointed that such an important and popular character had a major event happen that they couldn’t watch, especially after Julie had been left at the altar in a previous episode.
As far as I can tell, it was never made clear who Julie McCoy had married, although fans often assume it was Marty Chenault – the producer who guest-starred in the second-last episode of season 7 before McCoy left the show, and a character that she had almost married once before.
There are some fans who say that the character of Vicki announced that Marty was the person that Julie married. However, with the latter seasons so rarely repeated and hard to find, this isn’t easy to confirm (source).
9. Julie Had Already Been Left at the Altar…
In the first episode of season 5, Julie McCoy was due to marry her fiancé, Tony, when the ship visited Australia, where he was working on an animal reserve. However, Tony left her at the altar, explaining in a letter to her that he was dying.
The plan for McCoy had been to marry Tony and move to Australia to work with him, but unfortunately, it turned out to be another failed relationship for the character. In a later episode, the crew returned to Australia, and Julie visited David, Tony’s brother.
David explained that Tony had passed away from his illness, and it was revealed that Julie had continued to send him letters.
10. Tewes Is Alive and Doing Well
Lauren Tewes is still alive, and she continues to work as an actress. She has also made appearances with other cast members from the show on various TV interviews to discuss her time on the show.
The actress – and the other cast members of the show – still have close ties to Princess Cruises, the company which helped make the show onboard one of its ships, Pacific Princess. Just watch this clip from an interview with Access Hollywood where the actors talk about how good the newest Princess Cruises ships are:
Tewes’s current relationship status is unknown, but she has been married three times. She married her first husband, John Wassel, in 1977, and they were divorced in 1982.
Her second marriage was to Paolo Nonnis, whom she married in 1985 during her recovery from her cocaine addiction. That marriage lasted 10 years before the divorce.
Her final marriage was to Robert Nadir – she married him in 1996 and they stayed together until his death in 2002 of Lou Gehrig’s disease.
11. Tewes Recently Celebrated Her 70th Birthday
The actress who played Julie McCoy on The Love Boat, Lauren Tewes, was born on 26th October 1953, and so in 2023, she celebrated her 70th birthday.
For her 60th birthday, she was honoured with a special event on a Princess Cruises ship where she was able to film some promotional material for the cruise line, enjoy video messages from other actors from the show, and share a huge cake dedicated to her character.
12. Tewes Has Returned to Acting
Lauren Tewes continues to work as an actor, with some of her most recent work being for the radio drama Murder and the Murdochs, which is a comedy-mystery series available on Imagination Theater radio.
Since leaving The Love Boat, Tewes continued to work as an actor. She made appearances in some of the biggest TV series of the 1980s, including My Two Dads, Murder, She Wrote, TJ Hooker, and Hunter.
She did get cast in a recurring role on the TV show The Fugitive, which ran from 2000 until 2001. She played a police detective in the show.
Lauren Tewes now balances her acting work with her other interests in food. She is believed to be a ‘cheese specialist’ who works with clients to order specialist cheeses, and a trained sous-chef since her time in culinary school in 2004. She actively works as a sous chef for a catering company based in Seattle when she is not acting.
13. Her Estimated Net Worth Is In the Millions
While it is impossible to confirm, most profiles of Lauren Tewes, the actress who played Julie McCoy on The Love Boat, say that she has a net worth of $2 million. This is a reasonable estimate based on her acting experience.
Understandably, most people do not publish their net worth, and it is kept private, since net worth is based on career earnings and assets owned.
However, Lauren Tewes’ net worth is consistently quoted as being $2 million and considering her TV roles, including The Love Boat and other shows, her 50-year career and the fact that she was able to overcome her drug addiction and return to work relatively quickly, would mean that figure is likely to be in the right ballpark.
Final Word
So, now you know what happened to Julie on The Love Boat. A character that always seemed to be at the heart of a new romance was portrayed by an actor going through a very difficult time, and it’s a testament to her that she was able to still become so popular with audiences at home.
It’s also a credit to Lauren Tewes that she was able to move past her drug addiction and continue her career, and hopefully, she will keep working as long as she wants to as an actor, and she can shake off the tag of “former cocaine addict” soon enough, if she hasn’t already.

Ordinarily, going nude on a cruise ship (outside of the privacy of your own stateroom) isn’t allowed. But if you fancy a more liberated holiday, there are a number of nudist, clothing-optional, and lifestyle cruises where going bare is completely allowed.
In this guide, I’ll share the best cruises for those who prefer to spend their sea days totally textile-free.
The Different Types of Naked Cruise
It’s important that you know that not all naked cruises are the same. Before you search for a nude cruise, you should be sure that you understand the distinctions to make sure that you end up on a ship with like-minded people.
Nudist cruises – For naturists and people who like to be naked in a non-sexual way
Lifestyle cruises – Also known as swingers cruises, these are couples cruises with an erotic nature
When booking a nude cruise, you need to decide if you’re a nudist or a swinger. There are options for both, and you won’t want to end up on the wrong ship!
1. Nude Cruises
Texas-based company Bare Necessities has been chartering cruise ships for bare-optional cruises since 1991 and is the leading provider of naturist cruises. The company supports the belief that social nudity is not a sexual activity and strives to dispel the misconception that it’s anything but natural and beautiful.
This way, you get a whole nude cruise ship rather than trying to hide the nudity activities from clothed guests who don’t want to be offended.
Nude cruises aren’t about sex; they’re about being comfortable in your own skin, without the restrictions of clothing. These cruises are popular with adults of all ages, shapes and sizes, so you can expect to find all sorts of people on board.
Naked cruising can be addictive. It’s reported that 70% of guests are repeat customers, so you may start to recognise regular cruisers if this is something that you do often.
While some nude cruisers do hook up, this must be done in a very discreet way. Anyone being overtly sexual could be kicked off the ship.
Most nude cruises are actually clothing-optional. This means that you have the option to go nude if you wish, but you don’t have to. While most people will go naked, some remain clothed throughout as they book these cruises just to be sure that there will be no children on board.
Also, there aren’t currently any gay nudist cruises on large cruise ships. However, the company Gay Sail arranges gay nude cruises on yachts and catamarans that hold up to 14 guests.
On a nudist cruise, the crew will be fully clothed in their uniforms as usual. Cruise ship crew members are allowed to decline to work on a chartered nudist cruise if they find nudity to be offensive according to their culture or religion.
2. Lifestyle Cruises
When it comes to clothing-optional cruises for adventurous couples who want to meet up with like-minded others for a sexy getaway, there are two companies to consider – Desire Cruises and Bliss Cruise. Each of these companies charters ships for exclusive use and only permits heterosexual couples to sail.
Desire Cruises promises ‘a world of erotic pleasure’. As you cruise to exotic destinations in Europe or South America, you’ll enjoy endless erotic events, seductive entertainment and a sexually-charged atmosphere with drinks included.
Another option for adults-only lifestyle cruises is a Bliss Cruise, which also offers swingers cruises departing from the United States.
Then there’s Killing Kittens, offering a luxury lifestyle cruise experience with a playful, high-end twist. Designed for those who value connection, empowerment, and atmosphere, it’s all about creating a safe, inclusive space to relax, party, and explore at your own pace.
It’s best to choose one of these themed cruises if you want to swing on a cruise, to avoid offending regular cruise passengers. While the upside-down pineapple can be a sign of swinging on a regular cruise, it isn’t always known!
If you want to meet with other couples for adult fun, then clothing-optional swingers cruises offer just that. These include a whole host of activities to get your pulse racing, including sexy themed parties, erotic movie showings and couples workshops.
On these cruises, sex in public is allowed within the designated ‘playrooms’. Of course, you can also do it in the privacy of your stateroom or on your balcony.
The Bottom Line
When it comes to nude cruises, the first thing you need to confirm in your mind is whether you want a naturist cruise where you can be free to relax at your most comfortable in a non-sexual environment, or whether you want a sexy swingers’ cruise with clothing-optional areas.
That’s not to say that couples don’t hook up in private on nudist cruises, but that’s certainly not the focus, as it is on lifestyle cruises that have sexy entertainment and designated rooms for public sex.
If you want to cruise nude, or enjoy a topless cruise, without any pressure for sexual activity, then make sure you choose the right company.
Useful Things to Know About Nude Cruises
There are several rules you have to follow on a nude cruise. For example, every guest is required to sit on a towel in public areas. There are stacks of towels all around the ship, at the entrance to each venue.
Usually, clothing is required in the main dining room and speciality restaurants. So on a formal night, guests will wear formal attire as they would on any other cruise.
On a regular cruise, you might be able to go naked on your balcony, depending on the location of your cabin. Although some balconies are very private, others may be overlooked from above, and you could cause offence to anyone looking down.
Don’t forget you’ll likely be on CCTV too, so the officers will see you. You also shouldn’t be naked on your balcony when the ship is in port.

Carnival ships by size range from about 70,000 gross tons for the Fantasy-class Carnival Elation and Carnival Paradise up to about 183,500 tons for Carnival Celebration and Carnival Jubilee, the joint largest Carnival ships in late 2026. In between are eight other classes, from the Vista and Venice ships at around 135,000 tons to the Spirit-class ships at about 88,500 tons.
Below is the full list of Carnival cruise ships by size, sorted from biggest to smallest, with tonnage, guests at double occupancy, length and year. It also covers the fleet changes since 2025 and the ships still on the way. After that comes the question most people really have: is a bigger ship actually better for your cruise?
Carnival Ships by Size: The Full 2026 List
This table covers all 29 ships Carnival lists as in service at the end of October 2026. Gross tonnage (GT) measures the ship’s enclosed volume, not its weight. That makes it the best single figure for comparing size. Guest numbers are at double occupancy (two per cabin). Carnival and fleet sources sometimes quote slightly different figures after refits, so treat the numbers as close guides, not exact counts.

Maximum capacity, with third and fourth berths filled, is much higher. An Excel-class ship can carry over 6,000 guests when every bunk is used. That matters most during school holidays, when many cabins are full of families.
Carnival Ship Classes from Biggest to Smallest

Excel class: the largest Carnival ships
Mardi Gras (2021), Carnival Celebration (2022) and Carnival Jubilee (2023) are the biggest ships Carnival sails today. All three run on LNG and are split into themed zones. They carry most of the line’s headline features: the BOLT roller coaster, the largest waterparks in the fleet, and venues such as Emeril’s Bistro, Guy’s Pig & Anchor and the Big Chicken. Mardi Gras sails from Port Canaveral, Celebration from Miami and Jubilee from Galveston.
Venice and Vista classes: big ships with a twist
Carnival Venezia and Carnival Firenze were built for Costa Cruises and moved to Carnival under the “Carnival Fun Italian Style” banner. They are slightly bigger than the Vista class they are based on, and they keep their Italian décor. The Vista-class ships (Vista, Horizon and Panorama) bring the SkyRide pedal track, an IMAX theater on Vista and Horizon, and the Havana area with its patio cabins.
Dream, Splendor and Conquest: the mid-size workhorses
These 11 ships make up the middle of the fleet. They hold around 3,000 to 3,700 guests and sail everything from three-night Bahamas runs to week-long Caribbean cruises. Many have had Fun Ship 2.0 upgrades, adding Guy’s Burger Joint and BlueIguana Cantina. Carnival Splendor is now based in Australia, sailing from Sydney and Brisbane.

Fleet Changes: What’s New, Renamed or Leaving
The Carnival fleet has changed more in the last two years than in most decades, so older ship lists online are often wrong. Here is what has changed:
Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter joined in 2025, when Carnival Corporation folded P&O Cruises Australia into Carnival Cruise Line. They were built as Golden Princess and Star Princess, then sailed as Pacific Adventure and Pacific Encounter. It is part of a wider reshuffle across Carnival Corporation’s brands, which also sees P&O’s Arcadia moving to Holland America in 2029.
Carnival Firenze joined Carnival in 2024, a year after her sister Carnival Venezia. Both came from Costa.
Carnival Luminosa, ex-Costa Luminosa, has sailed for Carnival since 2022. She and Carnival Adventure are due to leave Australia in March 2028, repositioning to Los Angeles and Seattle respectively. That will leave Carnival Splendor and Carnival Encounter as the only two Carnival ships in Australia.
Sunshine class: the former Carnival Destiny, Triumph and Victory were rebuilt and renamed Carnival Sunshine, Sunrise and Radiance between 2013 and 2021.
Upcoming Carnival ships: Festivale, Tropicale and Destiny
Carnival Festivale, the fourth Excel-class ship, floated out at Meyer Werft in October 2026. She is due to start sailing from Port Canaveral in May 2027 with about 5,200 guests. Carnival Tropicale, the fifth, is due from Galveston in April 2028. Both have a revised design with a new top-deck zone called Sunsation Point, home to the line’s biggest waterpark yet.
Then comes a big jump. Carnival has cut steel on Carnival Destiny, the first of three Ace-class ships of around 230,000 gross tons, due in 2029, with sisters in 2031 and 2033. Each is planned to carry over 8,000 guests at full occupancy. When Destiny arrives, she will replace the Excel class as the largest Carnival ship by a wide margin. For comparison, Royal Caribbean’s biggest ships are about 250,000 tons; see our Royal Caribbean ships by size chart.
Are Bigger Carnival Ships Better?
Not automatically. A bigger ship gives you more choice. Whether it gives you a better holiday depends on what you want from the week.
Reasons to pick a big Carnival ship
More to do on sea days. Only the Excel ships have BOLT, and the newest ones have the biggest waterparks and most included dining.
Better for mixed groups. Teens, toddlers and grandparents can each find their own zone.
Newer cabins and tech. Excel and Vista ships have more balconies, suites and family cabins.
Reasons to pick a smaller Carnival ship
Fewer crowds. Embarkation, tender ports and the pool deck are easier with 2,000 guests than with 5,000.
Lower fares. Older, smaller ships are usually the cheapest way to sail Carnival, especially on three- and four-night cruises.
Different itineraries. Spirit-class ships fit through the Panama Canal and often sail Alaska, Hawaii and longer routes the big ships skip.
The number most lists miss: space per guest
A ship’s size only tells half the story. What you feel on board is how much room each guest gets. Divide gross tonnage by guests (the space ratio) and the ranking changes:
Ship
Approx. GT per guest
Carnival Adventure / Encounter
about 41-42
Spirit class (Spirit, Pride, Legend, Miracle)
about 41-42
Carnival Luminosa
about 41
Carnival Splendor
about 38
Conquest class
about 37
Dream class
about 35
Excel class
about 34
Vista class
about 33-34
Venice class
about 32
So the largest Carnival ships are not the most spacious. The Spirit class and the former Princess ships give each guest roughly 20% more room than an Excel-class ship. If crowds bother you more than missing a roller coaster, a mid-size ship may suit you better.
A simple rule: choose the ship for your itinerary and budget first, then use size to break a tie. Prices on the big ships swing a lot by season, so it pays to watch the best cruise deals for 2027 before you book.

Which Carnival Ship Size Suits You?
Families with kids and teens: Excel class (Mardi Gras, Celebration, Jubilee), or Festivale from 2027.
First-timers on a budget: Sunshine or Conquest class on a short Bahamas or Mexico cruise.
Couples who want a calmer ship: Spirit class, especially on Alaska or longer sailings.
Something different: Carnival Venezia or Firenze for the Italian-style food and décor.
Cruising from Australia: Carnival Splendor or Carnival Encounter, the two ships staying there after 2028.
Before you book, check the ship’s own page on Carnival’s website, because venues can differ between sister ships after refits.
Carnival Celebration and Carnival Jubilee share the title at about 183,521 gross tons and 5,374 guests at double occupancy. Mardi Gras is only slightly smaller. That changes in 2029, when the roughly 230,000-ton Carnival Destiny is due.
What is the smallest Carnival cruise ship?
Carnival Elation and Carnival Paradise, the last two Fantasy-class ships, are the smallest at roughly 70,000 to 72,000 gross tons and about 2,050 guests. Both sail short cruises, mostly from Florida.
How many ships does Carnival have in 2026?
Carnival lists 29 ships in service in late 2026, plus Carnival Festivale (May 2027) and Carnival Tropicale (April 2028) under construction. Three Ace-class ships follow in 2029, 2031 and 2033.
Are bigger Carnival ships better?
They have more to do, with roller coasters, big waterparks and more restaurants, but they also have more people, longer lines and higher fares. Mid-size ships such as the Spirit class often feel calmer and give each guest more space.
What is the newest Carnival ship?
Carnival Jubilee (December 2023) is the newest ship built for Carnival, while Carnival Adventure and Carnival Encounter are the latest to join, transferring from P&O Cruises Australia in 2025. Carnival Festivale is next, in May 2027.
A Royal Caribbean guest is facing serious legal consequences after deliberately leaping overboard from Rhapsody of the Seas in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in an attempt to escape paying a casino debt of more than $16,000.

The incident occurred on 7th September 2025 as the Vision-class ship was completing a 7-night Southern Caribbean sailing.
At around 9:15 am, while passengers were disembarking at Pier 4, Jey González-Díaz jumped into the water.
Surveillance footage later showed him being picked up by a jet ski and dropped back at shore, but authorities were quickly alerted.
Cash, Multiple IDs and a Fake Identity
Customs and Border Protection officers notified Homeland Security Investigations, though González-Díaz was apprehended before agents arrived.
He was located near Puerto Rico’s Capitol Building with $14,600 in cash, two mobile phones, a handbag, and five separate forms of identification.
Court documents state that he admitted to jumping into the water to avoid declaring the cash, mistakenly believing it would be taxed if reported.
Image credit: Handout
He has since been charged with failing to declare more than $10,000 upon entering the United States, a federal offence.
Investigators also discovered that González-Díaz boarded the cruise under the false identity of his brother, who is currently incarcerated.
Travelling under an assumed name could result in further charges.
Banned for Life
Royal Caribbean has not issued a public statement, but the guest is almost certainly banned from the line and its sister brands.
The company enforces a strict zero-tolerance policy against both fraudulent activity and reckless behaviour such as intentionally jumping from a ship.
González-Díaz has been released on bail while awaiting further court proceedings.

Thousands of Celebrity Cruises passengers were left unsettled on 9th September 2025 after receiving emails wrongly claiming that their future Celebrity Beyond sailings had been heavily altered.
The messages, sent in error, described cancelled port calls, swapped destinations and even hinted at propulsion problems forcing the ship to run at reduced speeds.
The shock for many was immediate, especially as the changes appeared to affect cruises stretching from late 2025 through the end of 2026.
Celebrity Beyond did suffer a major propulsion issue in July, resulting in itinerary adjustments, but repairs were carried out that allowed the ship to safely resume operations.
What confused guests even more was that some of the “original” itineraries listed in the emails did not match the cruises they had actually booked.
Passengers turned to cruise forums and social media to compare notes, with many reporting hours spent on hold with Celebrity in search of clarification.
Some even tried cancelling shore excursions they had arranged independently, worried their ports were no longer on the schedule.
Celebrity Responds
Later that day, Celebrity Cruises acknowledged the error and issued follow-up messages to reassure guests.
The line confirmed that the original itineraries remain in place, although port times may still be adjusted.
This clarification brought relief to many, but also fuelled further speculation that reduced cruising speeds could continue to affect itineraries until the ship’s next scheduled dry dock in November 2026.
Celebrity has already issued itinerary updates for several sailings through July 2026, some citing speed restrictions as the reason for timing changes.
For now, guests can rest easy that the destinations they booked remain unchanged.
But as with all cruises, itineraries can still shift due to port availability, weather or other operational needs.
Why Insurance Matters
It’s always extremely important to have the right insurance in place, and the best time to buy it is as soon as you’ve booked your cruise.
Not only will you then be covered if anything stops you from being able to sail, but you may also be able to cancel your cruise and get more of a refund should there be problems with the ship that you become aware of in advance.
Cruise insurance can also include missed port cover, meaning that if you’re onboard your sailing and the itinerary changes, you may be entitled to compensation – even if you didn’t have any excursions booked, and your ship is able to visit an alternative port instead.
However this only applies if you book dedicated cruise insurance and you make sure you have the extra cover in place for missed ports. Always check when you purchase to see what you’ll be covered for.
My Recommendation
My recommendation for cruise insurance depends on where you live.

When it comes to booking a cruise, budget plays a big role for most of us. Sure, we’d all love to sail anywhere without checking the price tag – but for many, finding the best value is key.
And sometimes, you’re simply after the cheapest possible deal.
I regularly find cruises for as little as $50 (£40) per night – and I love nothing more than tracking down bargains and sharing them with my email subscribers.
So, I’ve crunched the numbers, checked the lowest-priced cruises, and compared the cheapest cruise lines in the world. Here’s how they rank – and a few surprising stats I found along the way!
The Cheapest Cruise Line is… MSC Cruises!
The cheapest cruise line is MSC Cruises. On average, their cheapest cruises can be as much as 30% less than those of other similar cruise lines. Generally, the cruises are not as well-reviewed as those from other cruise lines, but most people still have a very enjoyable experience.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that every MSC cruise is going to be cheaper than cruises from other cruise lines. There is a huge host of factors that go into deciding the price of a cruise, including the month that you cruise, the duration, location and more.
But on average, MSC cruises tend to be a lower price than other, similar cruise lines.
Other low-cost cruise lines, provided you book at the right time of the year and for the right duration, include P&O Cruises, Costa Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean. These offer the best value cruises, even if some of them are hardly considered budget cruise lines!
Deciding the cheapest cruise line isn’t an easy task, because there’s so much you need to consider.
It’s not just about the advertised price, but also any other fees you have to pay – port taxes, gratuities, and so on.
Plus, different cruise lines offer different cruise lengths. Some cruise lines may offer cheap 7-night cruises, but they’ll never beat the price of a 2-night cruise with another, ‘more expensive’ cruise line.
So to work it out, I’ve taken a look at the cheapest cruise option for several of the biggest cruise lines in the world, but not just their single cheapest cruise – I’ve looked at their cheapest 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6- and 7-night cruises and then taken an average of their cost per day to cruise.

These prices include all port fees and taxes, and the gratuities that you’d be expected to pay.
But what’s really important to remember is that this is just the cost of the cruise. And so it doesn’t mean this is the average price you would pay when you book, because it depends on the location.
If you live in the UK, you’re hardly going to get a cheap deal booking a 4-night cruise to the Caribbean from Florida! And if you’re in the US, you can’t really take advantage of the lower port fees for cruises from Australia without paying a huge amount on flights.
1. MSC Cruises
MSC Cruises are often some of the cheapest you can book. They’re a fun, family-friendly line that primarily sails around the Mediterranean, although they do have sailings in the Caribbean, the Middle East and other destinations.
The cheapest cruises will be on older ships in the fleet, rather than the epic World Europa or World America. And they usually won’t be round-trip sailings either, so you’ll always need to arrange flights. Depending on where you’re based, that can push the prices up.
2. Costa Cruises
Costa is an Italian cruise line that offers most of its cruises around Europe. Fares are typically low and there’s not much variation between the cheapest itineraries and those in peak seasons, so even during the most popular months, you’ll get a good price.
The quality of a Costa cruise depends on your tastes and what you want from your cruise, but reviews are typically good, even if there’s not as much to enjoy onboard as on, say, a Carnival or Royal Caribbean ship.
3. P&O Cruises
P&O Cruises is a popular choice for British travellers. While the cheapest prices are unlikely to be found on the newest ships in the fleet, like Arvia and Iona, the older ships are still well-maintained and offer a great experience.
Prices vary a lot with P&O, so depending on the destination and the month, fares can be a lot higher. But there are some excellent deals to be had if you’re more flexible.
If you’re a family or are cruising with friends and don’t mind having more than two to a cabin, look out for special offers where the third and fourth guests sail for free. This can halve the price of your cruise.
4. Carnival
Carnival has a reputation as one of the cheapest cruise lines, but when you factor in the costs of port fees and taxes, it’s not quite as low-priced as the line’s website makes out at first glance. But the older and smaller ships in the fleet do still have some excellent prices available.
The only problem is that most of them are from US ports, so if you don’t live within easy reach of Florida or Texas, you might not be able to enjoy the best fares that this cruise line has to offer.
5. Princess Cruises
Princess Cruises is considered a slightly more premium cruise line by some, though it is still cheaper than many other cruise lines targeted at a mainstream audience.
With Princess, the lowest prices are split between cruises all around the world, so no matter where you live, you may not get a price as cheap as another cruise line, but you won’t be paying huge sums more than the typical best Princess fares.
Just be careful, though, because Princess also offers the upgraded Princess Plus and Princess Premier fares, which can add a lot onto your cruise price.
6. Royal Caribbean
You might be surprised to see Royal Caribbean on a list of cheap cruises, especially with the sky-high costs of the newest ships, Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas, but remember this is based on the cheapest available cruises.
Royal Caribbean has a lot of older and smaller ships in the fleet like Vision of the Seas and Rhapsody of the Seas. You won’t get the same low prices on the Oasis-class ships, never mind Icon of the Seas, that’s for sure!
But if you want a fun-packed cruise, then it’s worth checking the cheapest Royal Caribbean prices as you will often find some fantastic fares, though again your flights can push the price up a lot.
7. Norwegian Cruise Line
NCL cruises aren’t the cheapest, but they’re far from the most expensive when compared to luxury cruise lines, too. It’s the short breaks that tend to drive the average prices up, although once you look beyond the cheapest fares, you’ll see that the newest ships are also a bit more costly.
However, an important caveat is that NCL will almost always have an offer where your fare includes something extra – maybe free drinks, free WiFi or some free excursions. This is also important to bear in mind when comparing prices.
Older, Smaller Ships Tend to Be Cheaper Than Big New Ones
There is no single answer for the cheapest cruise ship in the world, but look for older cruise ships sailing for the cheaper cruise lines. MSC Orchestra and MSC Opera are two of the cheapest cruise ships sailing in the world.
The ship does play a part in the cost of your cruise. Older ships tend to – but only tend to – cost less to cruise on than newer ships.
And the reason for that is down to the quality of the ship. The newest ships are nicer, they’re better maintained, and because they are often bigger, they have more exciting things to see and do onboard.
Whereas older ships, even if they’ve been renovated, can sometimes feel a little tired. They might not have the fancy go-kart tracks, virtual reality or robotic bartenders. And so cruise lines charge less because the experience isn’t worth the same.
But again, the ship is just one factor when it comes to pricing a cruise. An inside cabin on a brand-new megaship will likely be cheaper than a suite on an older, smaller ship, for example.
It’s Possible to Cruise for $25 per Night!
The cheapest cruises you can book are often $100 per person for 2-3 nights, though these may not include tips and port fees. It is possible to cruise for $25 to $30 per night, but you’ll need to factor in other costs like flights, too.
Obviously, the cheapest cruise available to book at any one time will constantly change. Prices aren’t static; new itineraries and dates are released on a regular basis, and sometimes the cheapest cruises sell out, leaving another cruise to become the cheapest one available.
There are some cruises that are shorter than 3 nights, but they are rarely any cheaper than around $80 total, so getting a 3-night cruise for around that price (with taxes and tips on top) should be seen as an excellent value.
Advertised Prices vs. the Price You Actually Pay
When you’re booking a cruise, you should always check what’s included and what other fees you might still need to pay.
I’ve already mentioned these briefly, but the two most common additions are for port fees and taxes, and for gratuities.
Port fees and taxes are completely mandatory. Some cruise lines will include them in the advertised price, while others will mention them underneath the price, often in small print, so you may only see them when you get to the final booking stage.
Tips aren’t completely mandatory, but you really should pay them. Cruise lines will add them to your account automatically, and if you don’t want to pay them, then you need to speak to Guest Services to have them removed. They make up a large part of the crew’s salary, though, so removing them has a significant impact.
While researching the cheapest cruise line, I thought it was interesting to compare the advertised price – the one you see in big, bold numbers when you search on a cruise line’s website – and the actual price you pay with fees and gratuities included.
Because I’ve included fees and taxes in my stats above, this doesn’t impact which cruise line is cheapest, but it’s good to know so that you’re always careful when booking your own cruise, and you aren’t duped by a false low price.

The difference is often huge – indeed, with Carnival and Royal Caribbean, you’ll pay over two-thirds more than the price that they advertise as the cost of the cruise!
The Bottom Line
If you want a cheap cruise, you’d best check cruise lines like MSC, Costa and P&O Cruises if they sail near you, to see what their best prices are. Carnival and Princess also have some lower-priced sailings, too, if you’re happy on older ships.
But if you want the best experience, then a newer ship or a better cabin category might be preferable. Don’t skimp too much – you still want to enjoy your cruise.
And there are always ways you can get a good price, even on ‘more expensive’ cruise sailings.

A Pennsylvania woman is facing serious charges after allegedly diverting more than $40,000 raised for her injured cousin’s recovery to fund her own expenses, including a Carnival cruise.
Investigators say 29-year-old Vanessa Lewis launched a GoFundMe in August 2024 after her cousin was badly injured in a motorcycle accident.
The fundraiser quickly drew in over $40,000 in donations, but the victim’s family later claimed they never saw any financial help.
The probe began when the injured man’s father discovered photos of Lewis enjoying a cruise on social media.
A police report shows the GoFundMe account had more than $40,000 in August 2024 but had dwindled to just $3,000 by March 2025.
Authorities allege Lewis withdrew or transferred more than $37,000, including a $6,200 payment linked to a Carnival Cruise Line sailing from Miami.
Investigators also uncovered a wire transfer of more than $21,000 to another account.
Lewis has been charged with theft by deception and receiving stolen property. Both charges are third-degree felonies in Pennsylvania, carrying potential penalties of up to seven years in prison and $15,000 in fines.
She has been released on $10,000 bail and is due in court on 16th September 2025.
Cruises and Fraudulent Funds
This is not the first case of cruises being linked to financial crime.
In Florida, a church secretary was accused of embezzling more than $500,000, with investigators alleging part of the money paid for cruise holidays.
In Virginia, a private school business manager misused nearly $250,000, including charges for a Royal Caribbean cruise.
Earlier this year, a Wyoming woman was arrested for allegedly stealing church funds and booking a Norwegian Cruise Line trip to Alaska.
Family Fraud
An incident from August 2024 also highlighted how sometimes fraud can take place within the family.
An unnamed person explained their story of how their parents had taken out credit cards in their child’s name, and then used those credit cards to rack up over $10,000 of debt, including purchasing cruise holidays.
The parents also (eventually) admitted to opening more credit accounts in their other children’s names, and even recommended to their children that they file for bankruptcy, but only once the parents had opened up more fraudulent credit cards to access even more funds!
Such cases highlight how cruise holidays can become a luxury outlet for stolen money, with prosecutors across the country continuing to uncover links between fraud and extravagant travel.

A Carnival Cruise Line guest has sparked outrage after demanding compensation when onboard shops and the casino were temporarily closed due to a late-night medical emergency.
Carnival’s brand ambassador John Heald shared the details, explaining that the ship had to return to Miami around 11.30 pm so a passenger could receive urgent treatment.
As a result, retail outlets and the casino were shut early, as is required by law when a vessel is back in US waters.
Despite the circumstances, another guest expressed anger at losing a few hours in the casino and shopping, insisting compensation should have been provided.
Emergency Response Over Entertainment
Heald explained that the medical situation was serious enough that returning to port was the fastest and safest option.
Helicopter evacuations are not always possible, whether due to availability, weather conditions, or the condition of the patient.
The diversion meant shops and the casino had to remain closed until the ship re-entered international waters after the guest had been transferred ashore.
Heald estimated this took no more than four to five hours.
“Is that too big a price to pay to save a human life?” he asked, pointing out that the guest showed “absolutely no sympathy” for the person in need.
No Compensation for Closures
Carnival made it clear that compensation is not given in these circumstances.
The closures are a legal requirement and an unavoidable part of ensuring passengers receive critical medical care when needed.
Carnival Celebration
The ship involved was not named, though Carnival currently operates five vessels from Miami: Carnival Sunrise, Carnival Celebration, Carnival Magic, Carnival Conquest, and Carnival Horizon.
Heald noted that while the casino can be a popular evening attraction, no amount of lost entertainment revenue compares to the value of a passenger’s life.
Many cruisers commenting on the situation agreed, observing that the complaining guest would likely feel differently if the emergency involved their own family member.
