It's been a wild week for Disney Cruise news! First, one of their ships got stuck in Alaska due to bad weather. Then, the state of Alaska decided to limit the number of cruise ships that can visit each year. And now, it looks like carnival Cruise Lines might be getting in on the action!
The Disney Magic cruise ship was stuck in Alaska for nearly a week due to bad weather. The ship was finally able to dock in Ketchikan, but not before passengers were forced to spend an extra day at sea.
Alaska's governor has now decided to limit the number of cruise ships that can visit the state each year. This move is sure to anger the cruise industry, but it's being applauded by environmentalists.
And finally, it looks like carnival Cruise Lines might be getting in on the action! The company is reportedly considering adding a new port in Alaska, which would allow it to bypass the state's cruise ship limit.
We'll be sure to keep you updated on all the latest Disney Cruise news!

so I'm just uh working on and uh the
idea for video like 10 things that would
ruin your cruise number one I have your
partner cheats on you with the main
hamburger maker at Guys Burger and
number two explosive diarrhea and those
two things could be related
um but it that's a that's a WIP that's a
work in progress uh what we're here for
today is some Cruise news and to answer
the question would Carnival really do
this
Cruise news in My Views
let's talk about it
hey hey what's up everybody Welcome to
La Lido Loca I'm your host Tony here to
talk you through everything going on in
cruising I got a little Cruise news for
your face and Chris news story number
one uh it was a rough weekend for cruise
passengers on the Disney wish they were
doing just a short cruise down to Nassau
Bahamas and Disney's Private Island
Castaway Key when everything went uh
amiss there was some sort of technical
difficulty with the brand new cruise
ship the Disney wish which caused her to
be late when sailing into Nassau Bahamas
and when guests debart to have their fun
day in Nassau Little did they know that
when they returned to the cruise ship
that night instead of sailing away and
making their way to Castaway Key they
would be stuck in the pirate Republic
stuck in Nassau Bahamas and of course
getting stuck in Nassau Bahamas
overnight it's not the worst thing
especially when your next Port of Call
is Castaway key it's close enough to get
to the very next day and that was the
plan however when they got unstuck from
Nassau the weather was so inclement that
they were unable to go to Castaway key
and that got canceled in addition the
fireworks that were supposed to happen
on the first night of the cruise got
rescheduled I guess all's well that ends
well the fireworks did happen along the
way on that cruise and passengers were
compensated with a 100 onboard credit
and a future Cruise credit for their
troubles but yeah that points out a
challenge when you're taking a short
Cruise if anything goes wrong at all
your whole itinerary might be jacked up
but like I said Disney wished the newest
cruise ship in Disney Cruise Lines Fleet
plenty of stuff to do on board I know
many people don't get off in Nassau
anyways and a missing Castaway key is
just missing a day at the beach I I'm
sure everybody had a good time were you
stuck stranded on the Disney wish over
the weekend how was it for you would you
be angry if that was you leave a comment
below Cruise news story number two and
I'm kind of rethinking that opening
um of course you know if your spouse is
cheating with a crew member that's bad
for your spouse and you and the crew
member but which would be worse so
forget the guy's Burger head burger
maker what if what if they're just
cheating with the you know um you know
Jim from Wisconsin like what if a
cheesehead all of a sudden moved in on
your significant other and you know
they're they're spending time together
and he's talking about Packers football
that'd be would you want that either way
either way well I guess burger maker
cheesehead either way it's bad I might
pick number two like behind or you know
the number two that we were talking
about
um but no cruising Story number two very
serious uh let's get serious Let's Get
Physical
clear Cruise Line International
Association they have been working with
the city of Juno Juno the city of Alaska
you know that one Juneau Alaska and they
have determined that beginning next year
they will limit the amount of cruise
ships that can visit Juno in one day
when I read the headline I was like oh
no this sounds bad they're limiting it
to five big cruise ships a day I don't
know how many cruise ships go into Juno
currently but I would be shocked if it
was more than five big cruise ships so
at first blush at first glance this may
seem bad but it still seems like a lot
of people will be able to visit Juno in
a single day now this new limitation
will not have a big impact on the 2023
season because Cruise Lines set their
schedule about a year in advance so we
do see any major impacts from this five
ship per day limit there in Juneau it
will more likely be reflected in the
schedules for the 2024 Alaska season I
guess the alarmist in me could be like
oh no you better get out to Alaska
before they put some severe limitations
on it it doesn't seem like that it's
coming it just seems like they're trying
to manage it in a responsible way and I
did learn a new phrase today that I
would like to share with you destination
stewardship it really speaks to the
symbiotic relationship between cruise
lines and destinations where they have
to work together to do what's best for
local economies to do what's best for
the cruise business to do what's best
for the consumer it's a complicated
thing how are you feeling about your
destination stewardship today do you
ever feel like um like you've got to
make sure that you spend some money in
the ports that you visit just so that
you're not just abusing the fact that
you can go to a protocol and just walk
around and not spend any money I always
try to spend some money because I think
maybe I'm concerned with destination
stewardship also but interesting
interesting thing uh are you worried
about these limits of cruise ships in
Alaska have you been to Alaska is it on
your bucket list have you ever competed
in the Iditarod
I don't know leave a comment below now
very shortly we will talk about whether
or not Carnival will do the thing that
they may do uh but before I do that I
still have two more Cruise news stories
for you I'll pop them out real quick uh
like you know baby number three and four
I've never popped out a baby so that's
probably a wrong but what I understand
is that when you have multiple babies
the subsequent baby beyond the first
baby they they've come out quicker I
don't know I'm not a doctor uh all right
the silver Seas they've got a big
milestone shipbuilding Milestone the
silver Nova has floated out floated out
at the Meyer verst Shipyard in papenburg
Germany floatout is an important
Milestone that means the ship is on
water and it is floating around this is
all part of it it's prior to the Sea
trials and all those other things but it
is something noteworthy uh
congratulations silver C for the float
out of your latest cruise ship and then
cruising Story number four also a story
about the Alaskan cruise season as
Holland America has kicked off her
Alaska Cruise season part of the 150
Year celebration they've been doing some
interesting things at Cruise ports they
have like a plaque exchange so they did
a very special plaque exchange between
Holland America line and the Port of
Seattle to kick off this latest 2023
Alaska season and which damn ship is
kicking off the season in Seattle why
it's the Euro Dam I had a wild
realization the other day I've spent
more than a month on Holland America
line this year 2023. but I've got I've
got a month's worth of data of insight
to bring to you on that I hope to have
that video out this week so make sure
you stay tuned to the channel and
because of my uncertainty as to when
that video will come out this would be a
good opportunity to invite you to
subscribe if you like staying up to date
with everything going on in cruising and
if you'd like to know if Holland America
is just for old people well the the
easiest way to find that out is to be
notified when the video comes out you
can get all that set up for yourself and
maybe a love one if you want by hitting
the Subscribe button and the
notification Bell it's good for you and
dagnabbit it's good for me it's like a
virtual hug when you hit that subscribe
button you're hugging me I'm hugging you
touching me touching you sweet Carol I
gotta write Sweet Caroline down on my
list like things that could ruin your
cruise
Ludacris never sang it's so good so good
so
there's no karaoke on Holland America
that's a negative one for that
experience all right uh here's the deal
something I've been advocating for a
long period of time is I would like to
see some dedicated workspaces AKA
cubicles on cruise ships so that the
remote worker the mobile worker the
people of the future can have a place to
work on cruise ships and now they're
starting to be conversations about it a
brand ambassador put it to the people
he's got 400 000 subscribers over there
followers he put it to the people saying
would you like a dedicated workspace on
a cruise ship so that as a remote worker
you could get some work done and I for
one say yes and of course I know there's
a lot of people out there that say no so
I thought I would throw it out there so
that you could comment away and you
could put comments down like yes I would
love to work on a cruise ship that way I
could Cruise more or you could say stuff
like you go on a cruise to go on
vacation you shouldn't be doing working
at all you should just be drinking and
have an affair with the guy that runs
Guys Burgers you can have all those
comments that you like down there below
let me do this here's a picture of the
library on the Holland America Rotterdam
7 the seventh version of the MS
Rotterdam here's a little footage of the
game room the place where people do the
jigsaw puzzles on the Holland America
Rotterdam seven what do you think would
you like to see these spaces ripped out
and replaced with some cubicles that
have USB connections and power and I
don't know that I would I think they
could find other places so please
provide some feedback in the comments I
know that the cruise lines sometimes
read the comments of our show and if
you're passionate one way or the other
about whether or not workspaces should
be included on cruise ships for remote
workers please leave a comment and
hopefully we can move the needle wood
Carnival do this I hope the answer is
yes thank you guys so much for checking
out the show today I have to go now and
write a letter to the president of the
cruise line International Association to
see if we can get Sweet Caroline removed
from every karaoke list let's get that
thing banned
we'll never hear it song
this is Tony for La Liga look until the
next time we'll see you see you on the
Lido
bye
