Episode notes
Today's Cruise News covers three developments shaping how cruisers plan ahead. Carnival Cruise Line points to NOAA's forecast for a quieter 2026 Atlantic hurricane season — a 55% chance of below-normal activity, with eight to 14 named storms expected against an average of 14 — and details how its 35,000-square-foot Miami Fleet Operations Center monitors all 29 ships to steer captains into the safest water. Holland America Line will position the Oosterdam off the coast of Spain on August 12, 2026, for a rare "sunset eclipse," part of a 13-day Mediterranean sailing from Lisbon with astronomer-led commentary from Dr. Adam Burgasser. And in Singapore, the Singapore Cruise Centre sets a two-phase July 2026 move of ferry and cruise operations to a new HarbourFront terminal, beginning July 7.
