Doggone from Royal Caribbean

Fido (as well as Kitty, Porky and Mr Ed) is going to have to stay home. Even though you might be an emotional wreck sailing without him, Royal Caribbean has decided they have enough animals aboard their ships if you count service animals (like Seeing-Eye dogs) and the ones at the bar.

They have changed their policy and no longer allow passengers to bring emotional support animals of any kind. Animals which are “trained to perform a function for a person with a disability” are still allowed, of course, with proper documentation and arrangement.
