Royal Caribbean has officially laid the keel for its fifth Icon-class ship at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland, with the still-unnamed vessel known as Icon 5 expected to be delivered in summer 2028. A dramatic rescue unfolded aboard Disney Wonder when an injured crew member needed an urgent evacuation over 300 miles from Vancouver, forcing the ship to slow to five knots and shut off its radar for a Canadian military airlift. And a Carnival guest went viral after drinking far too much aboard Carnival Firenze, ending up escorted back to her cabin by three security officers to find her balcony door handle removed and her key and drink package confiscated.
