Royal Caribbean has named retired U.S. Air Force General Lori J. Robinson, the first woman to lead a U.S. unified combatant command, as godmother of Legend of the Seas, with the ship's official naming set for Veterans Day in Fort Lauderdale. A fire erupted aboard the tour boat Klondike Express at a cruise terminal in Whittier, Alaska, forcing Norwegian Jade to move away from the pier, though no injuries or ship damage were reported. And Royal Princess has been hit by engine problems that forced it to skip Juneau and Ketchikan, with Princess offering every guest a 50 percent cruise-fare refund for the disruption.
