6 Best Adults-Only Cruises

You often hear horror stories about people being denied boarding on overbooked flights, but you rarely hear of travelers failing to board their cruises. While overbooking on cruises is rare, it does happen. And just like with flights, one of the surefire ways to avoid getting left behind is by splurging a bit more — think booking the swanky stateroom instead of sticking with the bargain cabins.

The Best Way To Avoid Getting Kicked Off Of An Overbooked Cruise

Say what you want about TikTok, but amid the Gen-Z dance challenges and cooking videos featuring ingredients no one's ever heard of, it has undeniably become a goldmine of travel tips. Whether it's hacks about helping your toddler fall asleep much easier on flights or a PSA about why you should be cautious of water bottles in cruise cabins, it seems like TikTok has no shortage of nifty advice that could prove to be useful on your subsequent travels. Then again, there are also some travel trends on the platform that will leave you scratching your head. Case in point: 2024 saw the rise of a trend called "raw dogging" a flight.

Discovery cruise ship will not return to Florida this year. Marella Cruises, the European cruise line that made waves with its exclusive sailings from Port Canaveral in 2023, has decided not to return for a second season this year, according to port officials. The unique arrangement, which saw the Marella Discovery cruise ship offering voyages exclusively to passengers flying in from Europe on TUI Airways, a sister company of Marella, brought a distinctive touch to the port's cruise offerings.

This teen is sunk.

A recent high school graduate ditched his tardy parents on a Caribbean island so he could make it back to their cruise ship before it departed. 

Taking to Reddit this week with their written soliloquy, user ProfessionalTax7753 shared that the family decided to take a trip to sea in celebration of their teen’s 18th birthday and high school graduation.



Typically the family would go to all-expense-paid resorts, but the recent grad wanted a change of pace.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

When a friend invited me to join her on a Royal Caribbean 9-month cruise, I jumped at the opportunity. The ship was set to sail to over 60 countries across seven continents in 274 nights—about nine months. As soon as the ship set sail in December 2023, it gained notoriety on social media platforms. Guests began documenting their experiences, with more than 70 million posts about the cruise shared on TikTok. I knew I couldn’t pass up the offer to experience it firsthand.
