Alaska whale death prompts bid to slow cruise ships in hotspots

Wildlife groups urge Royal Caribbean to slow its ships to about 10 knots in whale hotspots after the Ovation of the Seas arrived in Seward with a deceased pregnant fin whale on its bow. NOAA’s necropsy indicated the death resulted from blunt-force trauma consistent with a ship strike, and the Center for Biological Diversity is calling for immediate vessel-speed reductions while investigations continue; Royal Caribbean says it is cooperating with authorities.

Election-day alcohol ban reshapes Bahamas cruise shore plans

The Bahamas will ban the sale and distribution of alcohol nationwide from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on May 12 during the general election, a rule that also affects cruise-destination ports and private islands; onboard alcohol sales remain allowed. Royal Caribbean says guests with May 12 passes to Royal Beach Club Paradise Island will receive a 50% onboard credit refund, and some itineraries are being adjusted to avoid restricted onshore areas like Nassau and CocoCay while ships continue to operate under local election rules.

Royal Caribbean under fire for undisclosed water slide closures on new ships

Passengers aboard Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas complain that several water slides were closed for months without notice before sailing; Royal Caribbean confirmed a few slides were closed for maintenance on two ships, limiting access to the Thrill Island water parks. The company referenced a past August 2025 incident in which acrylic glass broke off a slide and injured a guest, noting the current closures are unrelated and are being handled as maintenance with ships reportedly awaiting investigations. The situation has sparked social-media and Reddit backlash from travelers who feel disclosure was lacking.
