Your Daily Boarding Call | Port Canaveral Floods, Labadee Stays Closed Through 2028 & Disney Opens Palo to Kids! 🌧️🏝️🍝 - Nov 03 2026
Today’s Your Daily Boarding Call brings weather delays, major itinerary changes, a surprising Disney dining twist, and some family fun from Carnival.
Heavy rain and flooding slowed traffic around Port Canaveral, where five cruise ships were turning over thousands of passengers. Cruise operations continued, but travelers were urged to allow extra time getting to the terminals.
Meanwhile, Royal Caribbean has extended its Labadee closure through April 2028, affecting dozens of itineraries and replacing the Haiti stop with alternative ports or sea days.
Disney Cruise Line is also shaking things up aboard Disney Adventure, opening Palo Trattoria to guests of all ages on a special holiday sailing from Singapore.
And Carnival is celebrating the new Cat in the Hat movie with themed activities across 23 ships, including giant inflatable hats, parties, character appearances, and new Seuss at Sea experiences.
The Travel Tip of the Day reminds cruisers to check weather, traffic, and itinerary updates before leaving home—because cruise plans can change long before sailaway.

Today’s Halloween-flavored Your Daily Boarding Call mixes cruise safety, airline privacy, celebrity chefs, and a little holiday cheer.
Carnival Cruise Line is reminding guests that mobility scooters must fit completely inside their staterooms, and oversized devices could lead to denied boarding if they can’t make alternate arrangements.
Meanwhile, the FTC is investigating how airlines and other companies use personal data in pricing, including whether browsing behavior, loyalty information, or other consumer data could influence individualized fares.
On the fun side, Rachael Ray is joining Chefs Making Waves 2027 aboard Norwegian Jewel alongside a lineup of celebrity chefs.
