Cruise News Digest–May 31, 2026

Welcome to the weekly Cruise News Digest.

Let’s dive in!

On Monday, we checked out Princess Captain’s Circle on the latest edition of the major Cruise Loyalty Programs

Do you have a bucket list? A lot of cruisers can’t wait to sail to Alaska so we explored seven of the best destinations an Alaska cruise has to offer. While Princess Cruises and Holland America Line are considered the premier cruise lines in the region, your favorite cruise line likely sails there as well.

Cruise Tips! We talked a little bit about how to choose the best stateroom for you. Cruisers will need to consider their budget, their noise tolerance and whether or not motion sickness is a problem. Where is your sweet spot on a ship?

Margaritaville at Sea’s Beachcomber isn’t here yet, but when she arrives guests will want to explore the collection of wellness experiences that will be onboard. An all-new St. Somewhere Spa & Salon, Fins Up! Fitness Center and a new version of the Permanent Reminder Tattoo Studio makes this the cruise line’s largest wellness footprint to date.

Tony and the lovely Jenny B jumped on the Carnival Glory this weekend. Check out La Lido Loca Cruising to follow along.

On The Cruise Show, Tony brought us news of a passenger removed from a booking, a passenger who lost their legs after an excursion, another “poop cruise,” and Carnival’s major data breach. Were you affected?

 This week, on Cruise Talk Weekly, Tommy and Tony ask the question, “When did cruise passengers stop having fun?”
