We have to hand it to Cunard. All cruise lines bring things (exhibitions or events) aboard their ships from time to time that won’t necessarily sell more cabins, but they will provide something extra of interest for their customers. Most lines will have a Super Bowl themed party, or maybe something connected to a special guest, but Cunard approaches things differently.
We remember exhibitions of memorabilia from earlier days of the line, and artifacts from film legends who have traveled with Cunard, but today the line announced they have something planned that will be even more unusual.

Good Karma Involves Princess Cruises
Sometimes there is justice in the world and a little act of kindness that you’re moved to do - and never expect to be seen by anyone - does get noticed by someone else and it gets rewarded.
That’s what happened to one Seattle Seahawk’s fan, and Princess Cruises stepped in, in a big way.

Electrical Problems Delay Serenade of the Seas
Late Friday night as Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas was traveling up the Mississippi River to New Orleans for its Saturday turnaround, a water pipe burst, flooding some of the ship’s electrical equipment. As a result, some areas of the ship lost power.
The end result was that Serenade was a day late leaving New Orleans on the next cruise, and many passengers didn’t sail because, even then, a large number of staterooms were still without power.

Veendam Rescues Pilot of Ditched Aircraft
Over the weekend, Holland America’s Veendam was involved in a rather unusual rescue off the coast of Maui.
A small plane was having a mechanical issue with its fuel system and had to ditch in the ocean near the ship 230 miles northeast of Maui. Veendam quickly rescued the pilot (the sole occupant) while a Coast Guard HC-130 circled the area capturing some incredible video.The video was, of course, edited for time, and it makes it look like Veendam arrived just after the aircraft went into the water. They were nearby, but not quite that close. The pilot was only in the water for about 30 minutes, however.
