We analyze the severe consequences of passenger misconduct at sea, welcome the latest Disney ship showcasing a unique dual theme, and cover the maiden launch of a new Sphere-class vessel.
Major cruise operators, including Carnival Cruise Line and Margaritaville at Sea, are implementing stricter guest conduct policies in response to increasing unruly behavior. We detail the serious penalties now in force, which include $500 fines for fighting, immediate disembarkation without a refund, and potential lifetime travel bans that extend across sister brands within corporate families like Carnival Corporation.
Next, dive into the newest Wish-class ship, the Disney Destiny, which officially joined the fleet. This LNG-powered vessel features an exclusive Heroes & Villains theme across its décor, entertainment, and dining. Highlights include the Broadway-style production of Hercules, the interactive Pride Lands: Feast of The Lion King dinner, and specialty adult lounges like The Sanctum, inspired by Doctor Strange. The ship is slated to begin operations on November 20, 2025.
Finally, we celebrate the launch of the Sphere-class Star Princess, which embarked on its maiden 11-night voyage from Barcelona on October 4, 2025.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
