Time Out

The cruise industry is growing at a rapid pace, and Royal Caribbean has seen increased demand as a result. According to a quarterly earnings call, the cruise line exceeded expectations for the first quarter of 2024, including a “record-breaking introduction” of its newest ship Icon of the Seas. If you’re thinking about taking a cruise in the near future, the trends that Jason Liberty, CEO of Royal Caribbean, reported on the call are worth noting when making your plans.

Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Seas has many types of cabins and suites, and I booked the inaugural sailing in a Crown Loft Suite with my family. Suites are never cheap, but they do come with perks that help make the cost more palatable. They're a luxury, and not about necessarily the best value you can find.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
