Virgin Voyages has cancelled its October 30th, 2027 Halloween cruise aboard Brilliant Lady after the ship was booked for a private charter, with affected guests offered onboard credit or a full refund. MSC Cruises has unveiled its lavish new Grand Hamptons Villa aboard MSC World Atlantic, a two-story family suite of more than 2,475 square feet with a private cinema, climbing tower, secret door, and hot tub terrace. And Royal Caribbean has cleared up gratuity confusion, confirming an 18 percent rate still stands after a website error briefly showed 20 percent, and debunking a fake press release claiming guests could no longer adjust daily gratuities.
