12/22/2022 – Royal Caribbean’s SYMPHONY OF THE SEAS came to the rescue last week for 22 stranded Cubans off the coast of Key West. With their vessel’s engine broken and taking on water, the refugees were picked up by a rescue ship from the Symphony as the 5,000 cruisers cheered from the top deck. Later, the US Coast Guard arrived to help handle the situation. Big props to the Symphony of the Seas and its crew for saving the lives of these individuals. Learn more.

12/22/2022 – GALVESTON is getting popular! Following in the footsteps of Royal and their new terminal there, MSC Cruises have reached an agreement with Galveston Wharves for the potential development of a terminal on Piers 16-18. This would be a huge step for expanding MSC’s reach here in the States, with their current departure ports all on the east coast. Galveston Wharves Port Director and CEO Roger Rees said, “We’re excited about the huge potential of this mutually beneficial public-private partnership. Adding MSC to our family of cruise lines would offer our cruise guests an elegant, European-style cruise experience.” If you are a casino player looking to get comped, please go to urcomped.com.
