Two safety cases — onboard and ashore — bracket a lighter look at music cruising. In federal court in Bangor, Maine, 46-year-old John Kelleher was sentenced to 12 months for assaulting his girlfriend in their cabin aboard a cruise ship that departed New York in December 2024. In Genoa, Italy, a 14-year-old French passenger was punched near the cruise terminal while ashore with family, and police detained a female suspect. On a brighter note, the On the Blue music charter returns April 8–15, 2027, sailing round-trip from Miami aboard Norwegian Jewel with more than 25 classic and yacht-rock acts led by Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues.
