🚢 Cruising continues to BOOM! 🌴

Carnival just reported another record quarter, with revenue reaching approximately $8.4 BILLION — and the future is looking just as strong.

Even more impressive: 2027 bookings are already at record occupancy and record pricing levels. That’s a pretty good indication that people aren’t slowing down when it comes to cruising! 🛳️

Carnival’s strong results also helped give cruise stocks a boost, showing continued confidence in the cruise industry.

If you’ve been thinking about a cruise in 2027 or 2028, booking early is becoming more important — especially if you want the best selection of ships, dates and cabins.

When is the BEST time to cruise Alaska? 🐻🐋

The answer depends on what you want to see! Alaska changes throughout the cruise season, and every month brings something different.

❄️ May — Snow-capped mountains, waterfalls & fewer crowds
☀️ June — Long days, wildflowers & lush scenery
🐋 July — Whales, wildlife & peak Alaska summer
🐻 August — Salmon runs, bears & incredible wildlife
🍂 September — Fall colors, cooler weather & a chance for Northern Lights

There really isn’t a bad time to visit Alaska — just a different Alaska depending on when you go!

🚢⭐ Carnival Rewards is here — and here’s the easiest way to understand Points vs. Stars!

Think of it this way:

⭐ STARS are for STatus!
Your Stars determine your Carnival Rewards status level and the benefits that come with it.

🎁 POINTS are for Rewards!
Your Points are spendable rewards that can be redeemed toward eligible Carnival purchases and experiences.

So when you’re wondering which is which, just remember:

⭐ STars = STatus
🎁 Points = Rewards

Two different things. Two different purposes. And that little STars = STatus trick makes it pretty easy to remember! 😎🚢

🚢 BIG CHANGES COMING TO MSC FOR WINTER 2027–2028!

MSC Cruises is making some significant changes to its Winter 2027–2028 lineup, including moving one of its newest ships to the Caribbean!

MSC World Asia will head to the Southern Caribbean, offering 7- and 14-night cruises. Guests will be able to embark in Martinique, Guadeloupe, or Barbados, with itineraries visiting destinations such as:

🌴 St. Lucia
🌴 Grenada
🌴 St. Maarten
🌴 Antigua
🌴 St. Kitts
🌴 Dominica
🌴 St. Vincent

This is a pretty exciting addition for Caribbean cruising. MSC World Asia is one of MSC’s newest World Class ships and will feature attractions including the Cliffhanger over-water swing, extensive outdoor spaces, family activities, entertainment, and MSC’s largest Venchi chocolate experience at sea.

Meanwhile, MSC World Europa will remain in the Western Mediterranean instead of moving to the Middle East as previously planned. It will offer 7-night cruises visiting destinations including Barcelona, Marseille, Genoa, Rome (Civitavecchia), Messina, and Valletta.

⚠️ Already booked?
Guests booked on affected MSC World Asia, MSC Meraviglia, or MSC World Europa sailings will be contacted by MSC or their travel advisor regarding changes. Guests affected by the canceled World Europa Middle East deployment will have options that include transferring to another sailing or receiving a full refund.

Overall, this means more World Class capacity in the Caribbean for Winter 2027–2028, and MSC World Asia sailing the Southern Caribbean definitely has our attention!
