Following some recent issues among travelers who have faced legal issues due to packing illegal items on a cruise (here's an example), we wanted to be sure to share a few resources with important info to know before your sailing -- especially ahead of the summer travel season. What Can You Not Bring on a Cruise? 8 Things Not to Pack (cruisecritic.com) Weed on a Cruise Ship: Is It Legal? (cruisecritic.com) Do You Need a Passport for a Cruise? (cruisecritic.com) 8 Cruise Safety Rules for Families With Children (cruisecritic.com) Any other advice to add? 🤔

Good question! Thanks, @toseaornottosea!

Thanks so much for the questions, @Honolulu Blue & @Joebucks! Great questions.

Thanks for the question, @mnocket. Due to time limitations, we'll only be able to get to a handful of questions, so questions will be selected by the Cruise Critic team ahead of submitting to the show. Hope that helps!

Dying to know if the sweet suite still exists!! Were you able to get the sweet perks? 🍦

Hello from Seatrade 2023 in Ft. Lauderdale! The State of the Industry was held yesterday. Due to time constraints, we were limited to just one question per CEO, but it was amazing to have the opportunity to include the cruisers' voice in the conversation for the first time ever. Here's a link to our recap of the event and CEO answers: https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/7330/ Including a photo, too 🙂 We received A TON of questions across all of the cruise line forums (and lots of fantastic feedback) for the lines, and are going to be following up by sending all of it their way as well. We'll also use it on the Cruise Critic side for future story ideas, too. A huge thank you to all of you for sharing your thoughts, questions and experiences -- this community is incredible.
