Princess Cruises is preparing for a record-breaking Caribbean deployment for winter 2027–28, revealing an extensive line-up of sailings, new ports, and expanded Panama Canal options.

The programme, which is now open for bookings, will run from October 2027 to April 2028.

An Expanded Caribbean Programme Across Five Homeports

The 2027–28 season marks the most ambitious Caribbean schedule ever released by Princess, both in size and variety. Highlights include:

• 187 departures across the seven-month period
• Five US homeports: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Port Canaveral, New York, and San Juan
• Nine ships sailing the region, including the latest Sphere-class vessels Star Princess and Sun Princess
• 43 different itineraries, ranging from short four-night escapes to 15-night voyages
• 31 ports of call, covering 22 distinct Caribbean islands

“We’re incredibly excited to bring our guests an expanded Caribbean season filled with more of what they love – sun-soaked destinations, immersive experiences, and the elegance of our two newest Sphere-class ships,”

Jim Berra, Princess Cruises’ Chief Commercial Officer.

Princess Strengthens Its Panama Canal Leadership

Princess Cruises, already the industry leader for Panama Canal transits, is further ramping up its canal schedule between 2026 and 2028.

Five ships will sail a collection of partial and full-transit itineraries:

• Star Princess
• Caribbean Princess
• Island Princess
• Coral Princess
• Emerald Princess

One of the most notable voyages is Star Princess’ first Panama Canal transit, departing 13th April 2026.

The 20-night repositioning cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Seattle includes a full passage through the canal and visits to Aruba, Mazatlán, Cabo San Lucas, and Los Angeles. The sailing leads directly into the ship’s maiden Alaska season.

Other canal cruises will depart from Port Canaveral, Los Angeles, and Vancouver, giving travellers a broad choice of departure points and voyage lengths.

Princess Ships to Call at Celebration Key

A major addition to the 2026–27 and 2027–28 programmes is Princess Cruises’ debut at Celebration Key, Carnival Corporation’s new private destination in the Bahamas.

Originally designed for exclusive use by Carnival Cruise Line, the destination’s popularity has led to a wider rollout across the corporation’s brands.

“Celebration Key is an extraordinary destination oasis and adding it to our itineraries gives guests even more ways to savour the Caribbean,” Berra said.

Attractions at Celebration Key include:

• Paradise Plaza, the island’s lively welcome hub
• Starfish Lagoon, designed for families
• Pearl Cove Beach Club, an adults-only retreat
• Over 30 dining and bar venues
• Live music, beach lounges, Bahamian art, and a broad mix of activities

Princess ships scheduled to call at Celebration Key include Sky Princess, Sun Princess, Regal Princess, Caribbean Princess, Enchanted Princess, and Star Princess.

Sailings Across the Caribbean’s Best-Loved Destinations

Depending on the itinerary, guests will also visit ports such as Grand Turk, Belize, Cozumel, St Thomas, St Maarten, and many more.

Cruises range from four to sixteen nights, with options to combine sailings for extended back-to-back holidays.

With a greater choice of ships, itineraries, and destinations than ever before, Princess Cruises’ 2027–28 Caribbean season offers a wide range of holidays for first-time cruisers and loyal guests alike.

A Carnival Cruise Line entertainment staff member has shared a viral post alleging that he was abruptly removed from his ship in Cozumel, Mexico – just days before his planned resignation date.

Trevor Johnson, a (former) member of the Fun Squad aboard Carnival Valor, said he had intended to leave his position on 20th November after submitting his resignation earlier in the month.

In a statement posted to social media, Johnson described being woken by “a 6:00 a.m. knock” on his cabin door and told he had one hour to pack and disembark.

“How embarrassing and devastating it was to pack up my entire life in just one hour – with no chance to say proper goodbyes to my onboard family,

“I submitted my resignation on November 4th with the intention of leaving on November 20th… I wanted to allow time for a smooth transition.”

He said the decision to remove him from the ship came from Carnival’s shoreside management.

“It’s unfortunate that one person’s dislike or hate can dictate someone else’s growth,” he added, expressing both disappointment and gratitude toward his colleagues.

Online Reaction and Speculation

The post quickly spread across cruise discussion forums and Reddit, where users debated whether the situation amounted to a termination or a procedural sign-off.

One commenter noted:

“Sometimes cruise lines will change your sign-off date to coincide with a specific port that’s authorised to let crew leave.”

Others, however, suggested the incident sounded more like a disciplinary removal. “We call this the ‘6 o’clock knock’,” wrote one Reddit user, explaining that it usually indicates a termination rather than a voluntary departure.

Another commenter observed:

“If he gave two weeks’ notice, that means he broke his contract. Every crew member signs a fixed-term contract – when that contract ends, that’s when you can choose not to return.”

Several users also questioned Johnson’s account, suggesting his social media post may not tell the full story.

Still, others expressed sympathy for the suddenness of his departure, with one writing that it was “pretty harsh to have to leave in a foreign country like that.”

Cruise Contracts and Crew Rights

Cruise ship employment differs significantly from land-based work. Crew typically sign fixed-term contracts – often lasting several months – and are expected to serve them in full.

Unlike many shore-based roles, there is generally no “notice period” for early resignation, and cruise lines are under no obligation to allow a crew member to remain onboard after indicating an intent to leave.

If a crew member resigns mid-contract, the company may require them to disembark at the next available port where crew changes are permitted.

According to one former crew member commenting online, “It’s not uncommon for a company to ‘walk’ you off the ship once you resign – it’s business, not personal.”

Carnival’s Response

As of publication, Carnival Cruise Line has not issued a public statement regarding Johnson’s claims, and it’s unlikely they will.

The company’s employment policies, however, typically stipulate that crew must fulfil their contracts unless otherwise agreed with management.

Whether Johnson’s early departure was a procedural disembarkation or a disciplinary termination remains unconfirmed.

A Difficult Goodbye

In his farewell message, Johnson reflected on his three years at sea and said he remained proud of his time with Carnival.

“From the Bridge all the way down to the Engine Room, I truly loved and appreciated every single crew member,” he wrote. “I came aboard once as a first-time guest, and I now leave as a former crew member.”

He concluded his post by hinting that he might share more details after returning home: “Stay tuned for what’s next… because I’m not done yet.”

MSC Cruises has confirmed a major shipbuilding agreement with Chantiers de l’Atlantique, placing orders for two additional World Class vessels worth €3.5 billion (£3 billion).

The ships, set for delivery in 2030 and 2031, will become the seventh and eighth in the line’s futuristic World Class series.

Expanding the World Class Fleet

The announcement was made during a double ceremony at Chantiers de l’Atlantique’s shipyard in Saint-Nazaire, France, where MSC Cruises also marked the float out of MSC World Asia and the coin ceremony for MSC World Atlantic.

With this latest order, MSC Cruises’ total investment with the French shipbuilder in 2025 alone rises to nearly €7 billion, bringing the company’s total current commitment in France to around €10.5 billion.

“We mark a proud moment today as we celebrate the float out of MSC World Asia, the coin ceremony of MSC World Atlantic, and the order of two new ships,

“The World Class platform is a symbol of our vision to set new standards for the future of cruising. These are among the most energy-efficient ships in the world, and we continue our commitment to LNG while preparing for future renewable fuels.”

Pierfrancesco Vago, Executive Chairman of MSC Group’s Cruise Division.

French Partnership Strengthened

Chantiers de l’Atlantique General Manager Laurent Castaing welcomed the order, noting that four new MSC ships have been commissioned this year alone – a remarkable achievement for both the shipyard and its longstanding partnership with the cruise line.

“The World Class series, now totalling eight vessels, exemplifies our shared commitment to elevating the passenger experience while advancing environmental performance,” said Castaing.

Construction of the newly ordered World Class 7 and 8 will begin in 2029.

The vessels will follow MSC World Europa (2022), MSC World America (2025), MSC World Asia (2026), and MSC World Atlantic (2027).

The next two unnamed ships – World Class 5 and 6 – are due before 2030.

Latest Ship Milestones

The float out of MSC World Asia marks a key stage in the ship’s construction, as she touches water for the first time before entering final outfitting.

Scheduled for delivery in November 2026, the ship will sail seven-night itineraries in the Western Mediterranean, visiting Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Rome (Civitavecchia), Messina, and Valletta.

Meanwhile, the coin ceremony for MSC World Atlantic took place the same day. The maritime tradition sees commemorative coins placed within the ship’s hull as a symbol of blessing and good fortune.

MSC Cruises’ godmother for the occasion was Lynn Torrent, President of MSC Cruises North America, while Agnès Sahores, Smart Yard Improvement Manager at Chantiers de l’Atlantique, represented the shipbuilder.

MSC World Atlantic will launch in 2027, homeporting in Port Canaveral, Florida, for her debut Caribbean season in winter 2027–28.

The Future of World Class

MSC’s World Class ships are designed as floating destinations, each featuring themed “districts” to suit different moods and experiences – from family zones to adults-only retreats.

The line describes them as “a blend of innovation, elegance and environmental efficiency.”

The two new ships are subject to financing approval, but their addition will solidify MSC Cruises’ position as Europe’s largest cruise brand and one of the fastest-growing operators worldwide.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd has announced a new ship order with Fincantieri for its ultra-luxury brand Regent Seven Seas Cruises, confirming that a third Prestige-Class vessel will join the fleet in 2033.

The agreement reinforces the company’s commitment to expanding within the luxury cruise sector and extends its long-standing partnership with the Italian shipbuilder.

Continuing Regent’s Prestige-Class Expansion

The new vessel will follow the debut of Seven Seas Prestige in 2026, and a second ship of the same class in 2030. The Prestige-Class series marks Regent’s first new ship class in a decade, building upon the success of its acclaimed Explorer-Class ships.

“This newbuild order continues our measured, strategic expansion within the luxury space, providing guests with yet another way to experience the unrivalled aboard The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet,”

“It reflects our confidence in the growing demand for Regent’s best-in-class offering and reaffirms our long-standing partnership with Fincantieri, one rooted in craftsmanship and a shared pursuit of perfection.”

Jason Montague, Chief Luxury Officer for Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.

Larger, More Spacious, and Ultra-Luxurious

When Seven Seas Prestige debuts in 2026, it will mark a new era for Regent. The 77,000-gross-ton ship will be 40% larger than the line’s existing vessels but will carry only 10% more guests, maintaining one of the highest space-to-guest and crew-to-guest ratios at sea.

With capacity for 822 guests and 630 crew members, the ship promises even greater personal service and a heightened sense of exclusivity.

Innovative Suites and Refined Design

All accommodation aboard the Prestige-Class ships will feature private balconies, with 12 suite categories, including four entirely new designs.

These range from the Skyview Regent Suite – the largest all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruise suite ever built – to the two-level Skyview and Grand Loft Suites.

The ship will also feature 11 distinct dining experiences, offering an extensive global culinary journey curated to reflect Regent’s signature commitment to excellence. A new dining venue concept will be revealed closer to launch.

Strengthening the Luxury Market

The order highlights Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ growing investment in the luxury and upper-premium market segments, an area the company has steadily developed through Regent Seven Seas Cruises and Oceania Cruises.

The collaboration with Fincantieri also continues a relationship spanning decades, during which the shipyard has delivered several of the group’s most acclaimed vessels.

With all three Prestige-Class ships now on order or under construction, Regent Seven Seas Cruises is positioning itself to strengthen its reputation as “The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet” well into the next decade.

A sightseeing excursion for cruise passengers in the Dominican Republic turned into a terrifying ordeal on Sunday, 9th November 2025, when a tour catamaran suddenly sank off the coast of Samaná Bay, leaving more than 50 guests in the water.

Cruise Guests Rescued After Catamaran Sinks

The 40-foot vessel, Boca de Yuma, began taking on water just minutes after leaving Embat Pier, reportedly following an “internal failure”.

Passengers and crew were forced to abandon ship as the catamaran quickly submerged.

Guests were wearing life jackets as part of standard safety procedures, and nearby vessels responded within minutes.

The Dominican Republic Navy coordinated the rescue, maintaining communication with the sinking boat and dispatching naval craft to assist.

“An excursion catamaran operated by an external provider sank on 9 November 2025 during a shore excursion,” confirmed TUI Cruises in a statement. “All guests are safe and were returned to Mein Schiff 1 immediately after the rescue.”

Videos posted to social media show a chaotic scene, with life rings scattered across the water and passengers spread over a wide area, as only one corner of the catamaran remained visible above the waves.

Calm Seas, Sudden Sinking

According to the navy, the weather was generally calm at the time, though minor choppy conditions were observed.

Authorities said the cause was initially reported as a collision with an unidentified object in the water, which caused the vessel to flood rapidly.

“The captain of the excursion boat immediately contacted other boats in the vicinity and requested assistance,” TUI Cruises said.

All guests and crew were rescued without major injuries, although many were shaken by the experience.

Most passengers were not dressed for swimming, as the tour was intended to be a relaxed coastal sightseeing trip rather than a water-based activity.

Investigation Underway

Officials from the Port of Samaná and the Dominican Republic Navy are now investigating the cause of the sinking and assessing whether the tour operator met all safety and maintenance requirements.

“The Dominican Republic Navy collaborates with local authorities to determine responsibilities and take preventive measures to avoid similar incidents in the future,” a spokesperson said.

The Mein Schiff 1 had been sailing a 14-night Caribbean itinerary that departed La Romana on 7th November.

The ship’s original route, which included Ocho Rios and Montego Bay in Jamaica, was altered after Hurricane Melissa devastated the island. The unexpected stop in Samaná was part of the revised itinerary.

Guests Continue Cruise After Scare

Following the incident, all passengers involved received medical checks and counselling support onboard.

According to TUI Cruises, every affected guest chose to continue their cruise.

The 111,500-gross-ton Mein Schiff 1 has since resumed its journey towards Cozumel and Costa Maya, with further stops planned in Belize, Roatán, Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia, before returning to La Romana on 21st November.

Previous Excursion Accidents

While rare, shore excursion accidents involving small vessels have occurred before.

In March 2025, a sightseeing boat overturned in Cartagena, Colombia, with 38 cruise guests onboard. All passengers were safely rescued.

In contrast, a far more tragic event unfolded in November 2023, when a double-decked tour boat sank en route to Blue Lagoon Island in the Bahamas, leading to the death of one cruise passenger.

That disaster prompted several cruise lines to temporarily suspend excursions to the island until safety standards were reviewed.

A shore excursion for cruise guests in Tenerife ended in tragedy on Saturday, 8th November 2025, when a powerful wave struck a pier in Puerto de la Cruz, sweeping several people – including cruise passengers and locals – into the Atlantic Ocean.

One Tourist Dies After Being Pulled From the Sea

Among those caught in the incident was a Dutch woman who suffered a cardiac arrest after being rescued from the water.

Despite emergency efforts, she was pronounced dead before reaching hospital.

At least 10 tourists, most of whom had arrived earlier that morning on a cruise ship docked in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, were affected.

Officials have not yet confirmed which vessel the group travelled on, though Silversea’s Silver Dawn and TUI Cruises’ Mein Schiff 3 were both in port at the time.

A spokesperson for the coastal safety platform Canarias, 1,500 km de Costa, Sebastián Quintana, said none of the victims had entered the water voluntarily.

“No one was swimming – they were simply observing the sea,” he said.

The Canary Islands were under a red weather alert for dangerous coastal conditions, with waves of up to 15 feet (4.5 metres) reported.

Second Incident at Another Beach

Later that same afternoon, six French tourists were swept away by another large wave on Playa del Roque de las Bodegas, further north along the coast.

Emergency teams, including a rescue helicopter, managed to save all six.

One woman was airlifted to hospital with moderate injuries, while four others were taken by ambulance. According to local reports, the group had ignored a warning beacon marking hazardous conditions.

Multiple Fatalities Reported

In total, three people died and 15 were injured within a span of five hours as unusually strong waves pounded the island. Quintana described it as “the most tragic day” for Tenerife’s coastline in years.

Images shared by rescue services showed emergency personnel and bystanders assisting drenched victims on the promenade as waves continued to batter the shore.

Cruise Lines Monitoring the Situation

Cruise lines operating in the region, including Silversea, TUI Cruises, and P&O Cruises – whose ship Azura was also in port that weekend – are understood to be monitoring the situation and working with tour operators to review safety procedures for excursions.

Local authorities have opened an investigation to determine whether safety barriers, signage, and warnings were adequately in place at the time of the tragedy.

Early reports suggest that while red alerts were active, no cordons or tape were visible at the Puerto de la Cruz pier when the wave struck.

Concerns Over Coastal Safety

The disaster has renewed calls for tighter coastal safety enforcement in the Canary Islands, where sudden “mar de fondo” swells – long-period waves generated far offshore – can strike without warning.

Tenerife and its neighbouring islands are popular winter cruise destinations.

In 2024, more than four million cruise passengers visited Spain’s Atlantic island ports, many taking day trips to scenic coastal areas.

Between January and October 2025, Canarias, 1,500 km de Costa recorded 54 drowning deaths across the archipelago, several of which occurred during high-wave alerts.

Authorities continue to urge both residents and tourists to avoid piers, breakwaters, and rocky promenades whenever such warnings are in effect.

Authorities in the United States have launched an investigation following the death of a passenger onboard Carnival Horizon during its latest Caribbean sailing.

When the ship returned to PortMiami on Saturday, 8th November 2025, agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) boarded the vessel to begin enquiries into the incident.

In a statement shared with US media, Carnival Cruise Line confirmed it is cooperating fully with the investigation.

“Our focus is on supporting the family of our guest and cooperating with the FBI,” the cruise line said.

No details have been released about the passenger’s identity, age, or cause of death, and investigators have not confirmed whether the death is being treated as suspicious.

One guest onboard the ship reported conflicting rumours circulating amongst guests that it was either a murder or an overdose, but these are only rumours so far and so should not be treated as fact until any further confirmation follows.

FBI and Cruise Line Investigating

According to a brief statement from the FBI’s Miami office, agents “responded to the scene” when the ship docked. “Because this is an ongoing matter, no further information is available at this time,” the spokesperson added.

Passengers onboard the 6-night cruise – which sailed from Miami on 2nd November and visited Ocho Rios, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel – reported a medical emergency announcement on the final day of the voyage. However, it has not been confirmed whether that was linked to the death.

Some guests staying on Deck 8 said they received letters advising them to vacate their cabins early on disembarkation day to allow investigators to access the area.

“Authorities will be joining the ship first thing upon arrival to complete an investigation and will be in the area of your hallway,” the notice reportedly stated. “It could be noisy and disruptive, so we kindly ask that you be out of your stateroom by 7:00 a.m.”

Those guests were offered breakfast before being escorted off the ship first.

A Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner’s van was also seen at the port after the ship arrived, suggesting local officials have taken possession of the body.

Cruise Schedule Unaffected

Despite the investigation, there was no significant delay to Carnival Horizon’s turnaround in Miami. The ship did leave a little later than planned, with the FBI apparently onboard until 5 pm.

But the ship has already departed on her next voyage – an 8-night Southern Caribbean itinerary visiting the so-called “ABC islands” of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao.

Carnival Horizon, a Vista-class vessel launched in 2018, carries up to 3,960 guests at double occupancy (and nearly 5,000 at full capacity) with a crew of about 1,400.

Standard Protocol for Deaths at Sea

Deaths at sea are uncommon but not unprecedented, and cruise ships are required by maritime law to have medical facilities and secure morgues onboard.

When a death occurs, local and federal authorities become involved once the ship reaches port, particularly if the voyage began or ended in the United States.

In such cases, the FBI investigates any incidents involving possible foul play or suspicious circumstances, while natural or accidental deaths are typically referred to local medical examiners.

Carnival Cruise Line has not released further comment while the investigation remains open.

Guests sailing aboard Norwegian Epic have received an unexpected and worrying health alert: they may have been exposed to Legionnaires’ disease.

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) issued the warning on Tuesday to passengers currently sailing on the 12-night Mediterranean voyage from Rome to Lisbon, as well as to those who recently disembarked the same ship.

The cruise line confirmed that two former guests who had travelled on Norwegian Epic were later diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease – a severe form of pneumonia caused by Legionella bacteria.

At this stage, it is unclear whether the infections originated onboard or elsewhere, but the cruise line is cooperating with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which has opened an investigation.

Health Warning Issued Mid-Voyage

The alert, sent to roughly 4,100 passengers mid-cruise, advised guests to monitor for symptoms such as fever, cough, muscle aches, headache and shortness of breath – typical indicators of Legionnaires’ disease.

“On the rare occasion that any past guests receive such a diagnosis, we work with the CDC to support their investigation efforts as part of their standard operating procedures,” NCL said in its letter to guests.

Travellers were urged to contact the ship’s medical team immediately if they developed any symptoms while onboard.

Those who had already disembarked were advised to seek medical attention if symptoms appear within 14 days of their cruise, and to show the alert letter to their doctor to ensure testing for Legionnaires’ disease and prompt antibiotic treatment if needed.

What Is Legionnaires’ Disease?

The illness, first identified in 1976 following an outbreak at an American Legion convention in Pennsylvania, spreads through inhalation of contaminated water droplets – often from hot tubs, showers, air-conditioning systems, or decorative fountains.

According to the CDC, symptoms generally appear two to 14 days after exposure. While most people recover with antibiotics, the disease can be life-threatening for those with weakened immune systems, smokers or the elderly.

Past Cruise Incidents and Industry Response

This is not the first time Norwegian Cruise Line has faced such a situation. In February 2023, the company sent a similar notice to Norwegian Prima passengers after two guests who sailed in late 2022 were diagnosed post-cruise. No source of exposure was ever confirmed.

Other cruise operators have also experienced comparable cases. Earlier this year, Royal Caribbean International warned Symphony of the Seas guests after one former passenger contracted Legionnaires’ disease. The investigation, likewise, did not establish a definitive link to the ship’s water systems.

Cruise lines are required to maintain rigorous sanitation and water-quality protocols, including regular testing and treatment of spas, pools and potable water systems to mitigate such risks.

Norwegian Epic Continues Its Voyage

Despite the warning, Norwegian Epic continues its itinerary through the Mediterranean, with enhanced monitoring and sanitation measures reportedly in place.

The 155,873-gross-ton ship, which accommodates more than 4,000 guests, entered service in 2010 and is one of the largest vessels in NCL’s fleet.

A Caribbean holiday aboard Harmony of the Seas took an unexpected turn this week after two internet personalities were removed from the Royal Caribbean ship following a fight on deck.

The altercation – which was captured on video and widely shared online – took place on 4th November as the vessel sailed from Galveston, Texas, towards Roatán, Honduras, during a seven-night Western Caribbean itinerary.

Several Incidents Onboard

According to multiple social media posts, the confrontation involved two livestreamers known online as Chicken Andy (real name David Ryan) and BlackAssDave (Dave Willis), both of whom were participating in a themed “streamer cruise” organised by content creator Ice Poseidon.

Footage from the ship’s outdoor smoking area shows the pair arguing before the dispute escalates into a brief but physical scuffle, while other passengers can be heard urging them to stop.

One Reddit user remarked that “they picked the wrong cruise for that – Royal Caribbean is a family line”.

Passengers writing online said the two men had already been warned by ship security for earlier disturbances during the voyage.

One commenter summarised that the group had “two strikes in two days” and that “some of them even had their alcohol cut off before talking their way back into it”.

Swift Consequences

After the fight, both men were detained by security, with Ryan reportedly spending time in the ship’s small holding area – often referred to by cruisers as the “brig” – before the pair were disembarked in Roatán on Wednesday.

They were left to make their own travel arrangements home.

The disagreement is said to have begun over another streamer, known as JJ, and who deserved credit for helping him gain popularity online. “It was just words at first,” one passenger wrote, “then one slapped the camera out of the other’s hand and that was it.”

A separate video filmed earlier in the voyage shows Willis arguing with other guests in the ship’s Studio B venue after blocking their view while filming – a moment that some passengers say foreshadowed later tensions.

Friends Once More?

A video later shared by Ice Posiedon, the host of the event, shows Ryan and Willis ashore in Honduras as the ship is boarding guests to leave.

You can view the video on Kick (18+ language warning).

During that video, they comment on how the girlfriend of one of the two is remaining onboard the ship, and that it appear Ryan and Willis had made up and were friends now.

Royal Caribbean has not publicly commented on the incident.

The Harmony of the Seas, one of the world’s largest cruise ships, carries over 6,000 guests and features amenities including water slides, a zip line and a full theatre.

The company’s code of conduct prohibits violence or disruptive behaviour, with offenders subject to removal at the next port of call.

As one Reddit user put it after the fight: “The cruise line won – both got kicked off with no refund.”
