Safety, Storm Risks, and Europe Plans

Today's episode covers three stories from across the cruise world. A negligence lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court for Brevard County, Florida accuses Disney Cruise Line of failing to guard against a fall from an upper bunk aboard Disney Wonder, in which a child fractured both wrists; the suit seeks more than $50,000 and centers on a guardrail that did not span the full length of the mattress. In Alaska, Juneau's cruise calls remain on schedule as water in Suicide Basin approaches capacity, with a glacial outburst flood possible in mid-August and shore excursions near Mendenhall Glacier the most likely to be affected. And Royal Caribbean has set 50 Southern Europe itineraries for summer 2027 across seven ships, spanning Spain, Italy, France, the Greek Islands, Egypt, Portugal and Morocco, including calls tied to the Royal Beach Club Santorini.
