Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown has filed charges against Capital Jazz and its owner, Clifford Hunte, over more than $642,000 in unpaid refunds from a canceled 2026 music cruise.

The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division filed a Statement of Charges alleging Capital Jazz violated the Maryland Consumer Protection Act and breached an earlier settlement agreement tied to previous refund failures.

More than $642,000 owed in cruise refunds

The Capital Jazz SuperCruise was scheduled to sail the Caribbean from March 22-29, 2026 onboard MSC Divina.

MSC Cruises canceled the charter agreement in November 2025 after Capital Jazz failed to meet payment obligations, despite continuing to collect money from customers. By the time passengers learned of the cancellation, many had already paid thousands of dollars and booked flights and hotels.

The Consumer Protection Division says 103 customers are so far confirmed to be owed $642,240 in total. Officials believe more passengers may be affected and have not yet come forward.

Capital Jazz also allegedly stopped paying penalties it owed under a 2025 settlement that resolved earlier refund complaints.

“Capital Jazz made a commitment to Maryland consumers and broke it, and then they brazenly did it again,” Attorney General Brown said. “My office intends to use every legal tool available to hold it accountable in its failure to honor its obligations to consumers.”

It’s worth noting that the dispute is between passengers and Capital Jazz, not MSC Cruises. MSC canceled the charter after Capital Jazz failed to make payments, and the cruise line has no legal obligation to refund passengers who booked through the event organizer.

Third SuperCruise canceled in five years

This is the third Capital Jazz SuperCruise to be canceled in five years. The company previously faced legal action over cruises canceled in 2021 and 2022, which resulted in a 2025 settlement requiring Capital Jazz to provide cruise refunds and purchase cancellation insurance for future events.

A hearing before the Maryland Office of Administrative Hearings is scheduled for July 21, 2026.

Capital Jazz has organized its annual music festival in the Washington, D.C. area for more than 30 years, drawing tens of thousands of fans to Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland each June.

Customers who believe they are owed refunds from the canceled 2026 SuperCruise can contact the Maryland Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 410-528-8662.

Working on a cruise ship is one of the few opportunities where you can earn a paycheck while traveling the world.

For college-age applicants or anyone with limited work experience, cruise lines regularly hire for entry-level roles that focus more on attitude and work ethic than a long resume.

Why Cruise Ship Jobs Are a Smart Choice Early in Your Career

Starting out on a cruise ship can be a practical way to earn steady income while gaining real-world experience and traveling at the same time.

For many first-time applicants, it offers a chance to build independence, improve communication skills, and learn how to work in a fast-paced, team-focused environment alongside people from around the world.

At the same time, it’s important to stay mindful of any academic commitments. Balancing coursework with a shipboard work schedule is not always easy, especially during busy stretches when time is limited. It is not uncommon for someone to think, “Can someone do my essay so I can keep up with everything?” during those moments.

Some turn to academic support services like EduBirdie to help manage their workload. These services can assist with writing, editing, and structuring assignments, making it easier to stay on track without falling behind.

When handled carefully, combining cruise ship work with continued academic progress can help create a strong foundation for future opportunities, blending hands-on experience with ongoing education.

Top Entry-Level Cruise Ship Jobs You Can Apply for:

1. Cabin Steward (Housekeeping)

Cabin stewards are responsible for cleaning and maintaining guest cabins. This role requires attention to detail, efficiency, and a friendly demeanor when interacting with guests. No prior housekeeping experience is necessary – training is provided onboard.

Why it’s a good fit: You’ll develop discipline, organization skills, and customer service experience.

2. Dining Room Server Assistant (Busser)

Server assistants help waitstaff by setting tables, delivering dishes, and ensuring a smooth dining experience. It’s a fast-paced role but a great way to learn hospitality basics.

Why it’s a good fit: Ideal for those who want to build communication skills and potentially move up to higher-paying server roles.

3. Galley Utility Worker

Working in the ship’s kitchen (galley), utility staff handle cleaning, dishwashing, and basic food prep tasks. No culinary background is required.

Why it’s a good fit: Perfect for anyone interested in food service or culinary careers without needing prior experience.

4. Retail Sales Associate

Cruise ships have onboard shops selling clothing, souvenirs, and duty-free items. Sales associates assist guests, manage inventory, and operate registers.

Why it’s a good fit: You gain retail and sales experience while working in a relaxed, guest-focused environment.

5. Youth Program Assistant

These roles involve organizing games, activities, and supervision for children onboard. While experience with kids is helpful, enthusiasm and responsibility matter more.

Why it’s a good fit: Great for those considering careers in education, childcare, or recreation.

6. Pool Attendant

Pool attendants maintain cleanliness around pool areas, distribute towels, and ensure safety rules are followed.

Why it’s a good fit: A more relaxed role with outdoor work and regular guest interaction.

7. Photographer Assistant

Photographers capture guest moments, and assistants help with setup, sales, and organization of photos.

Why it’s a good fit: Ideal if you’re creative or interested in media and customer interaction.

8. Bar Utility (Bar Back)

Bar utilities support bartenders by restocking supplies, cleaning, and preparing the workspace.

Why it’s a good fit: A stepping stone to becoming a bartender, with opportunities to learn mixology basics.

9. Guest Services Assistant (Junior Roles)

Entry-level guest services roles involve helping passengers with basic questions, directions, and requests.

Why it’s a good fit: Builds strong communication and problem-solving skills valuable in any career.

10. Entertainment Support Staff

This includes helping with events, setting up equipment, or assisting performers and cruise directors.

Why it’s a good fit: A fun, dynamic environment suited for outgoing personalities.

Requirements to Work on a Cruise Ship

Even for entry-level positions, cruise lines expect candidates to meet a few basic requirements:

• Be at least 18–21 years old (depending on the role)
• Hold a valid passport
• Pass a medical exam
• Have basic English communication skills
• Be willing to work long hours in a structured environment

Most cruise lines also provide safety training, including internationally recognized maritime certifications before or after hiring.

How to Get Hired Without Experience

Landing your first cruise ship job is very possible if you approach it strategically:

1. Highlight transferable skills
Even if you’ve never worked formally, emphasize teamwork, volunteering, group projects, or part-time jobs.

2. Apply through official cruise line websites
Major companies like Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line regularly post entry-level openings.

3. Use recruitment agencies
Authorized hiring partners can guide you through applications and interviews.

4. Be flexible
Being open to different roles increases your chances of getting hired faster.

Tips to Succeed Once You’re Onboard

• Stay adaptable – schedules can be demanding
• Maintain a positive attitude with guests and crew
• Build relationships with coworkers from around the world
• Save money – living expenses are minimal onboard
• Take advantage of growth opportunities and promotions

Is It Worth It?

For young adults interested in working and traveling at the same time, cruise ship jobs offer a practical way to do both. The hours can be long and the work demanding, but the experience you gain along the way can be valuable. From building customer service skills to adapting to life in a fast-paced, international environment, it’s the kind of experience that can stand out when you move on to future roles.

Final Thoughts

After college I worked on a cruise ship and can tell you from first hand experience that getting started on a cruise ship without prior experience is very achievable, especially if you are open to learning and willing to take on new challenges, while working seven days a week.

There are entry-level roles across hospitality, guest services, entertainment, and more, making it easier to find a position that fits your interests. Just research these carefully because you don’t want a contract that you hate for months. It will make time drag. Trust me.

With that said, if you are ready to work hard and try something different, a cruise ship job can be a solid first step. It offers a chance to gain experience, earn money, and see parts of the world you might not otherwise visit, all while building a foundation for what comes next.

A notorious organization known for hacking into systems in order to steal vast amounts of information may have gained access to Carnival Corporation’s massive data base.

Who Is Behind the Potential Breach

While ShinyHunters may sound like a musical group you’d hire to entertain at your child’s birthday party, they are, in fact, far more sinister.

The organization has been behind some of the largest data breaches to take place over the past 25 years. Among their past victims have been companies as diverse as Microsoft, Pizza Hut even several universities.

Now, according to numerous reports, ShinyHunters is claiming to have accessed troves of Carnival Corporation information and issued a ransom threat.

What Carnival Is Doing

In a statement, a Carnival Corporation rep told Cruise Radio that “after detecting unauthorized online activity involving a singer user account, we acted quickly to shut it down and block any further unauthorized access and have notified law enforcement.”

The real questions revolve around what “single user account” was accessed and whether it may have opened something of a cyber wormhole which might serve as a gateway to far more information.

“Data privacy and protection are extremely important to Carnival Corporation,” the spokesperson continued, “and we’re working closely with trusted global security experts to be thoughtful and deliberate in our review of the data involved, recognizing that anonymous reports circulating online are not always accurate.”

The “anonymous reports” mentioned are likely those which claim that information from several million accounts has already been released.

For example, the site HaveIBeenPwned wrote that ShinyHunters “published the [stolen] data publicly, which contained 8.7 million records with 7.5 million unique email addresses.”

The site went on to make the very specific claim that data released included information pertaining to Holland America Line — a division of Carnival Corporation — and their Mariner Society loyalty program.

It went on to say that the information included “names, dates of birth, genders and data relating to status within the loyalty program.” 

What Happens Next

Meanwhile, the Carnival spokesperson concluded by saying, “If we determine personal information was affected, we will follow all disclosure requirements and communicate directly with any impacted individuals.” 

Meanwhile, HaveIBeenPwned.com recommends that if you believe your information may have been compromised, you should change your password immediately. They also suggest enabling two-factor authentification, which is standard advice when it comes to adding an added layer of protection to any and all accounts.

In 2020, Princess Cruises had a hacker gain access to company emails.

Royal Caribbean is testing a new paid option for guests who book guarantee staterooms and want to know their cabin assignment before the last minute.

The program, called Early Assign, is available for $30 per stateroom and is currently being piloted on select sailings for U.S. bookings only. When a guest’s cruise is paid in full, they can add Early Assign and receive their stateroom assignment within 24 hours.

How guarantee bookings work

Guarantee staterooms are one of the most affordable ways to book a cruise. Guests are promised a cabin within their selected category, but the cruise line assigns the specific room, sometimes not until just days before the sailing date or even on embarkation day. That uncertainty is the tradeoff for the lower fare.

Early Assign is designed to remove that uncertainty, though it does not allow guests to choose a specific deck, location, or stateroom attributes.

Booking windows and restrictions

The option is available during a defined window before sailing, based on itinerary length.

For cruises of five nights or fewer, guests can use Early Assign between 30 and 60 days before departure. For sailings of six nights or longer, the window is 50 to 80 days before sailing.

Early Assign is available for select stateroom categories across interior, ocean view, balcony, and suite bookings. It is not available on casino fares and may be restricted on certain promotional rates.

Once assigned, guests can request a move to a different cabin within the same category at no extra charge, of course this is subject to availability.

What to know before paying

The $30 fee is per stateroom, not per guest, but it is non-refundable. If a booking is canceled, the fee is forfeited regardless of when the cancellation occurs. The option carries no additional perks beyond the earlier cabin assignment.

Royal Caribbean says the program may be expanded fleetwide if the pilot proves successful.

Planning a getaway on a limited budget while juggling academic responsibilities isn’t easy. That’s why cruising has quickly become one of the most attractive vacation options for young adults in college across the U.S.

It combines affordability, convenience, entertainment, and adventure into one seamless experience. Whether you’re looking to unwind after finals or celebrate a milestone with friends, here’s why cruising stands out as the ultimate choice.

Once a cruising college student myself, here are some reasons why we choose to cruise every year (even during the semester).

1. All-Inclusive Value Makes Budgeting Easy

One of the biggest advantages of a cruise is its all-inclusive pricing model. Instead of paying separately for accommodations, meals, transportation, and entertainment, you get everything bundled into one price. For those trying to stick to a tight budget, this simplifies financial planning and eliminates unexpected expenses. Many cruise lines even offer special deals and discounts for younger cruisers, making it easier to enjoy a high-quality vacation without overspending.

2. Easy, Low-Stress Travel Planning

When your schedule is already packed with classes, deadlines, and everything else that comes with college life, planning a trip can feel like one more thing on a long to-do list. That’s where cruising makes things a lot simpler.

Instead of juggling hotel bookings, transportation, dining plans, and daily activities, a cruise bundles it all together. Your room, meals, entertainment, and even transportation between destinations are included in one booking. You don’t have to spend hours comparing options or trying to piece together an itinerary—it’s already done for you.

That kind of simplicity can be a big relief, especially during busy times of the semester. Rather than stressing over logistics, you can focus on looking forward to the trip and actually enjoying your time away once you’re onboard.

For students trying to balance everything at once, finding ways to reduce pressure matters. Some cruise passengers plan ahead to stay on top of assignments before they leave, while others look for extra support when deadlines stack up.

Some even choose to delegate certain academic tasks to stay balanced, occasionally turning to a college paper writer to help manage their workload more effectively. This doesn’t replace learning, but it can provide support when deadlines overlap or responsibilities become too demanding.

Not to mention almost every cruise ship has Starlink wifi these days.

3. Multiple Destinations in One Trip

Cruises make it easy to visit multiple destinations without dealing with separate flights or hotel bookings. You can wake up in a new place each day, whether that is a Caribbean island or a port along the Mediterranean, without the usual travel-day hassle.

That built-in variety adds a lot to the experience, especially if you are working with limited time. Instead of choosing just one destination, you get a mix of places in a single trip, helping you make the most of a short break.

4. Built-In Social Opportunities

Cruises are naturally social environments. From group excursions to themed parties and shared dining spaces, it’s easy to meet new people and form connections.

Many cruise lines cater specifically to younger crowds, organizing events like pool parties, mixers, and nightlife activities. It’s an ideal setting for making friends or even networking in a relaxed environment.

5. Endless Entertainment Options

You’ll never run out of things to do on a cruise ship. Most vessels feature live shows, music performances, comedy acts, movie nights, and even onboard clubs. During the day, you can enjoy pools, sports courts, fitness centers, and workshops. This variety ensures that every moment of your vacation is engaging, whether you prefer relaxing or staying active.

6. Affordable Luxury Experience

Cruises offer a taste of luxury at a fraction of the cost you’d pay for a similar experience on land. Comfortable cabins, gourmet dining, and premium amenities are all included or available at reasonable prices. For many young travelers, it’s a chance to experience upscale travel without the typical high price tag.

7. Flexible Activities for Every Interest

Not everyone wants the same kind of vacation, and cruises accommodate that. Whether you’re into adventure, relaxation, culture, or fitness, there’s something for you.

You can spend your morning exploring a new destination, your afternoon lounging by the pool, and your evening enjoying live entertainment. This flexibility makes cruising appealing to diverse groups of friends with different interests.

8. Safe and Structured Environment

Safety is a major consideration, especially when traveling in groups or to unfamiliar places. Cruise ships provide a controlled and secure environment with professional staff, clear schedules, and organized excursions. This structure offers peace of mind while still allowing plenty of freedom to explore and have fun.

9. Perfect for Group Travel

Coordinating a group vacation can be complicated, but cruises make it easier. Everyone stays in the same place, participates in shared activities, and can choose how much time to spend together or apart. Many cruise lines offer group packages and perks, making it an excellent option for spring break trips, celebrations, or reunions.

10. Great Balance Between Relaxation and Adventure

Perhaps the biggest reason cruising stands out is its ability to combine relaxation and adventure. You can unwind on deck with ocean views, enjoy spa treatments, or take part in exciting excursions like snorkeling, hiking, or city tours. This balance ensures that you return from your trip feeling both refreshed and fulfilled.

Final Thoughts

Cruising brings together value, convenience, and a wide range of experiences in a way that’s tough to replicate with other types of trips.

If you’re balancing classes, work, and a social life, it’s an easy way to step away for a few days without taking on the extra stress of planning every detail. With so much included and plenty to do onboard and ashore, it lets you focus on enjoying the experience rather than managing it.

It’s also easy to see why more college-age travelers are choosing cruises. The mix of built-in entertainment, social atmosphere, and multiple destinations in one trip makes it a practical and appealing option.

If you’re looking for a getaway that feels simple to plan but still delivers a lot for your time and budget, a cruise is definitely worth considering.

Another Carnival Cruise Line ship is heading to the Lone Star State.

In announcing that a brand new ship would be joining Carnival Jubilee in sailing out of Galveston, the line found a rather unique way to make their point: By “replacing” the new build’s instantly recognizable whale tail funnel with a pair of Texas longhorns!

Why Carnival Picked Galveston

Once the brand new Carnival Tropicale is delivered in the spring of 2028, the line’s flagship vessel will call Galveston home. In explaining why they opted to place the ship in that particular port, Carnival’s president Christine Duffy said that doing so was “a celebration of both our history and our future in Texas.” 

She added that for over 25 years, “Texas has been at the heart of Carnival’s growth, and this new Excel-class ship ensures we continue to deliver unforgettable experiences for our guests in and around the state.”

Is Carnival’s Whale Tail Really Gone?

Named after the first ship, which was designed specifically for Carnival, the Tropicale will be a sister ship to Jubilee, but not a twin.

Duffy explained that on the newest Excel-class ship, they’d be replacing the Bold roller coaster with Sunsation, a three-deck waterpark and entertainment zone that will also host special after-dark events.

And like Jubilee, the ship’s bow will proudly feature the Star of Texas.

But about that whale tail?

While the idea of replacing it with a pair of longhorns is fun and makes for a great gimmick, it’s actually only being done for advertising purposes. (You can view the full video — complete with line dancing and an original tune — below.)

A full year before Tropicale joins the fleet, Carnival Festivale will be rolled out. Like Tropicale, the Excel-class vessel will replace Bolt with the Sunsation concept.

The Festivale will not, however, join her sisters in Galveston. Rather, when that ship is introduced in April of 2027, she will make Port Canaveral her homeport.

Details regarding itineraries and booking availability for the Tropicale are set to be released later this year.

A small child is receiving medical treatment in Madeira after a fall on a cruise ship. According to media reports, the two-year-old child fell around 10-13 feet as a TUI Cruises ship was docking on the Portuguese island in the Atlantic on Wednesday.

Two Year-Old Child Rushed to Hospital in Madeira

A ‘rapid intervention’ medical team was sent to the Mein Schiff 7 ship to assist. The child was then taken to the Dr Nelio Mendonca Hospital in Madeira’s capital, Funchal.

The only details shared so far is that the two-year-old in a “foreign national.” The circumstances that led to the fall and the child’s current condition have not been disclosed. An internal investigation is reportedly underway.

The Germany based cruise line seems to have dispelled initial reports of the severity of the child’s injuries. It had been reported the toddler was “fighting for life,” citing unnamed hospital sources who described the toddler’s injuries as “very serious.”

False Reporting on Two-Year Old Falls on Ship

“We can confirm an incident on Mein Schiff 7 in Madeira involving a child. However, the child was never in a critical condition, nor have life-threatening injuries. The child is in hospital for routine observation, and is in good condition and with family members,” TUI Cruises said.

Madeira port authority APRAM also acknowledged the fall, which happened within the ship while in port. Initial news reports the child may have fallen from a balcony have not been confirmed.

“The Regional Integrated Medical Emergency System was activated, with support and assessment carried out on site by the Rapid Intervention Medical Team,” it said.

The Mein Schiff 7, one of the line’s newer ships, docked early morning on April 22 during the week-long Canary Islands and Madeira roundtrip cruise from Grand Canaria. It departs later today and then calls at Santa Cruz de La Palma, Tenerife and Fuerteventura before returning to Gran Canaria on April 27.

The ship is carrying nearly 3,000 guests and more than 1,000 crew members. As of early 2026, TUI Cruises has eight ships and one under construction.

Carnival Cruise Line’s fifth Excel-class ship, the Carnival Tropicale, will homeport in Galveston after its delivery in 2028. It will join the Carnival Jubilee – which started service in Galveston in 2024 – making Galveston home to two of the three newest ships in the cruise line’s fleet. In a press release, Carnival said the...

A cruise ship security officer has been arrested in Italy on suspicion of war crimes linked to the Balkan conflicts decades ago.

Milan Babic, 58, was taken into custody when his MSC Cruises ship docked at the Port of Civitavecchia (Rome) after arriving from Genoa. He holds dual Serbian-Croatian citizenship.

Ship Security Officer Facing Extradition to Croatia

He was apprehended on an international arrest warrant issued by Croatia earlier this year. Authorities allege he was involved in ethnic cleansing operations during the 1990s in the former Yugoslavia. Babic is also wanted by Serbia in connection with the alleged murder of a Serbian national.

He is currently in custody awaiting an extradition hearing. An Italian court is expected to decide whether he will be sent to Croatia to face possible trial.

Italian news outlet Corriere della Sera reported that Babic had been employed by MSC Cruises for years, allegedly using a false identity.

According to officials, Babic was disembarking with other crew members in Civitavecchia when he became suspicious of what he believed were undercover officers. He returned to the ship and hid in a space near the engine room.

Search Lasted Hours Before Arrest

Border police spent more than three hours searching the vessel before locating and arresting him, officials said.

Prosecutors allege Babic was able to work for years by slightly altering his name on official documents. Italian authorities worked with the cruise line and immigration officials to confirm his identity.

Authorities say Babic was a member of a paramilitary unit operating in the Krajina region during the Serbo-Croatian War. The arrest warrant accuses him of “violent acts, deportations, and killings.”

What began as a two week sailing turned into a search at sea, after a cruise ship recovered five bodies in the Mediterranean.

Sapphire Princess, operated by Princess Cruises, altered its route on April 21 while sailing from Sardinia to Cartagena, Spain, after a crew member spotted an orange life jacket in the water.

The ship immediately turned around and launched a search operation, deploying a fast rescue boat to investigate. Crew members recovered five deceased individuals from the sea.

A guest onboard told Cruise Radio, “Not long after leaving Sardinia the Captain announced that he was turning the ship around as something orange was floating in the Sea, it was a deceased body in a life jacket. Not long after there was another announcement Man Overboard, we were then informed not long after another 4 deceased persons were located.”

In a statement to Cruise Radio, the company said:

“Princess Cruises confirms that on April 21, Sapphire Princess, while at sea en route to Cartagena, Spain, observed an orange inflatable lifejacket in the water. The vessel immediately altered course to investigate and, upon arrival on scene, deployed its Fast Rescue Boat.

Five deceased individuals were recovered by the Sapphire Princess crew members and coordinated efforts with the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC). The individuals involved are not guests or crew of Sapphire Princess.

We extend our sincere condolences for this loss and are grateful to our crew for their swift response and efforts to render assistance.”

Recovering bodies at sea

Passengers onboard say the ship remained in the area for several hours, initially locating one body before discovering four more nearby.

Marine tracking data shows the vessel executed a full turn and spent nearly three hours conducting a search pattern before resuming its voyage.

Authorities have not released the identities of the individuals and are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident. Officials have not confirmed whether the case may be linked to a migrant vessel.

After completing the search, the ship increased speed and arrived in Cartagena on schedule.
