We aren't always the first to cruise news, and we don't strive to cover every story. Our effort is however to bring you objective information along with our take on why the story is important (or not).
This week's video is a bit different, as not much news came about in the world of cruising during this holiday week. We discuss changes at Paradise Cruise Lines and my predictions for 2017.
Be sure to follow us on Periscope so you can catch us live for these and other interactive broadcast. We'll be live tomorrow from Port Everglades this weekend, talking ship and watching sail-aways!

This is the second in our new weekly video series keeping you up to date on the world of cruise news. Be sure to follow us on Periscope so you can catch us live for these and other interactive broadcast. We'll be live tomorrow from Port Everglades broadcasting sail-aways of ships from Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Princess, Celebrity, and Holland America.
Carnival Cruise Line announced this week that they're testing updated dining policies on the Carnival Glory and Carnival Conquest. On those vessels, dining times which had previously been 6:00pm and 8:15pm have been updated to 6:00pm and 8:00pm. saying that the change will enhance the dining experience for all guests. Makes sense yet? This will help: Carnival also announced that persons arriving more than 30 minutes late for dinner will not be seated in the main dining room, and be referred to the buffet dining area. Presumably, the fifteen minute-shorter gap between first and second seating will be easy to accommodate as they can now guarantee that no meal service will begin more than 30 minutes after the scheduled time, and the final meals should end a bit earlier.
It's time to try something new. We're going to start getting you weekly (or maybe bi-weekly) updates on what's going on in the cruise world. This will take place live on Periscope and then get cross-posted to YouTube. Take a look below and get all caught up. We did run into some technical issues with the camera feed, but we'll work on that for next week. Please subscribe to our new YouTube channel and follow us on Periscope so you can catch our live sail-away interactive broadcasts as well as next week's news.

If you've disembarked a large cruise ship in Port Everglades you know that they've got that process down to a science. You also know that this doesn't mean it's a quick process getting 6,300 passengers through customs. Today's announcement that Port Everglades will be the first cruise port in which US and Canadian citizens can utilize the Mobile Passport Control app promises to change that - but will it work?
