Some cruise lines, like Norwegian and MSC Cruises, sell cruises that are more inclusive than the fully a la carte lines, including Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line. Newer cruisers don't want to miss out and that can lead to some purchasing mistakes.

Royal Caribbean is facing more legal trouble after a former crew member admitted to spying on cruise passengers, including children, in their bathrooms and showers after planting small cameras in their cabins to record them in states of undress.

A Royal Caribbean crew member, Bryan James, a guitarist for the cruise line, shared how birds are kept away from cruise ships when they're in port. It's actually a fairly ingenious method that you may not have even noticed when you're on board.
