We’ve got a Celebrity itinerary change, a timing update from Virgin, and a check-in with our favorite shark on an extended shore excursion.

OCTOBER 5, 2026 ♪ Bing-bong, bing-bong ♪ Good morning, fellow Cruise Sea-kers. Today, Mother Nature has been rearranging cruise itineraries, one Virgin Voyages ship had a frightening night in Greece, Carnival Radiance is back from dry dock, and several cruise lines have announcements from their official press rooms.

♪ Bing-bong, bing-bong ♪ Good morning, fellow Cruise Sea-kers. Today, we begin with a serious maritime story. Then Carnival has put a new ship in the water, and we are taking a proper look at one of Celebrity Cruises’ most misunderstood restaurants. Let’s get underway. A Russian attack struck a Liberian-flagged cargo ship at a Ukrainian port in the Odesa region Saturday. According to Ukrainian port authorities, one person was killed and three others were injured.

Good afternoon, fellow Cruise Sea-kers! It was morning when we recorded the first edition, but apparently, we overlooked the whole “put the microphone near your face” part of broadcasting. Therefore, welcome to the Mooring Afternoon Edition. Not only can we not make it morning, but we apparently cannot make it consistent.

Busan’s honorary ambassador is appare

Hello, fellow cruise lovers! Welcome aboard Mooring News from Cruise Sea-kers Travel, where we bring you cruise stories, curious facts and behind-the-scenes happenings that you probably will not find in the daily planner. Rob said we needed to keep our peeps informed. I decided informed did not necessarily have to mean bored. So today, we have one cruise that packed sweaters and received sunshine, a new island being built beside an island, Halloween on the Hudson, and several

Due to the ongoing warm weather conditions and limited rainfall across Europe, water levels remain low in several sections of the Rhine & Danube rivers. As a result, navigation restrictions are currently in place that prevent vessels from safely operating through affected areas. Check with your travel advisor to see how this affects you.

Good morning, cruisers, crew members and everyone still pretending they didn’t hear the announcement. Welcome aboard the inaugural voyage of Mooring News from Cruise Sea-kers Travel. Yes—Mooring News. Because it sounds like morning news, but with significantly more water and at least one nautical pun per episode.
