Hotel chains are launching ultra-luxury cruise ships. Here's how the newest entrant plans to compete with Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has conducted sanitary inspections on well over 100 cruise ships this year, with most receiving passing scores of 95 or above.

On most exams, a "B" is considered a passing grade.

Cruise ships don't always have a squeaky-clean reputation for being ultra-clean. After all, there's a reason they've been infamously dubbed "floating Petri dishes."

If you’re chronically online or often traveling like me, you may have seen one of the robots that are now staffing airports and restaurants, carrying your suitcases, and delivering your food. With the surge in AI, from Google’s AI overview to Chat GPT, artificial intelligence is the new frontier, and who knows where it might lead to next. For me, it led me to an Aescape AI robot massage at the glam Lotte New York Palace in Midtown East—yes, the very same property that served as a backdrop for some particularly iconic Gossip Girl moments. I’m no stranger to massages, and personally adore the experience of sinking into a calming, almost meditative state while a professional therapist works their magic and turns my body from a human stress ball into a melted pile of putty. So, when I was given the chance to try out a personalized, fully automatic treatment by a massage robot, I had to take it, if only to see if it could live up to the experience of the one-on-one human contact of a professional.

Hurricane Milton is barreling towards Florida, heading in a west to east path from the Gulf of Mexico, like an ice cream cone trying to scoop up the state from the gulf through Orlando to the eastern shores. Currently, Milton is a category 5 hurricane (the highest level of hurricane) and is predicted to go directly over the Tampa Bay area early Wednesday morning.

A lot can happen in nine years — more than two presidential terms and your child's high school and college graduation, for example.

International hotel group Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is making a fall or winter vacation easier by offering 20 percent or more off a stay, and even bigger savings for rewards members.
