The Caribbean will welcome many new cruise ships in 2025. Here’s what to expect from the most exciting new vessels in the upcoming year.

Not all cruise ships are as clean as they seem. The CDC's 2024 report highlights the ships that fell short on sanitation.

According to the 2024 report, the average score out of 151 inspections was 95.9. Twenty-three of those vessels were inspected for a second time. The nine dirtiest ships received scores between 86 and 89. Meanwhile, one ship initially received a rare low score of 62 before it was reviewed again the following month and given an 89.

The Asheville Regional Airport had been on pace to have a record-breaking year in 2024. Tropical Storm Helene changed that. A "technical issue" on Christmas Eve morning temporarily grounded all American Airlines flights nationwide as millions travel for the holiday season.
