Cruise Tech Trouble and Disney's 2027 Shake-Up

Today we unpack two contrasting stories shaping the cruise industry. First, Carnival Cruise Line's fleet-wide IT meltdown during a planned maintenance update that knocked out embarkation systems, Wi-Fi, casinos, and apps across 11 ships, forcing staff to manually count passengers and delaying departures by up to 10 hours. Then we pivot to Disney Cruise Line's bold 2027 deployment plans, sending their flagship Disney Wish to Europe for the first time while orchestrating a global fleet shuffle across Florida, Alaska, and Singapore.
