Everybody's Going to Cuba
MSC Cruises announced plans today to operate new seven-day western Caribbean cruises from Miami that include a two-day call at Havana - and it all begins in December already.
The new program will see the 65,542-ton MSC Armonia homeported at Miami (alongside MSC Seaside and MSC Divina), which MSC says will make it “one of the largest and most modern ships to sail to Cuba.” MSC Armonia was the first ship to be renovated and lengthened in MSC's Renaissance program.

This Is Not Your Father's Coco Cay
Private islands have traditionally been beach days, but that's not everyone's idea of a perfect day. Some people want more action. Royal Caribbean is therefore expanding the concept of the private island so it can be everyone's idea of a perfect day.
By the end of next year, not only will Coco Cay's beachy facilities be upgraded, but the island will also have a waterpark, and not only that, but Royal Caribbean will then be expanding the concept worldwide. The Perfect Day Island Collection will include similar facilities in Asia and Australia.
The above video will give you a look at each of the features of the expanded Coco Cay.
Please note that the second portion of this video is B-roll, so there is no sound.

Bliss on the River
Norwegian Bliss left the Meyer shipyard Tuesday night on its conveyance down the Ems River never to return. After a few days at Eemshaven at the mouth of the river to provision and board additional crew members, the ship will depart for its sea trials in the North Sea.
Overnight and through the day today, Norwegian Bliss has wound its way down the river at times like threading a needle though the narrow passages. At 994 feet long and 136 feet wide, it is passing between barriers that sometimes give it only four feet clearance or less. Of course, as always, it is doing all this stern first for better maneuverability.
