Norwegian Jewel

The 2,376-passenger Norwegian Jewel (the namesake of the line's Jewel-class ships) has been cruising since 2005 and and underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2022. It reemerged boasting more than 25 refreshed venues. With its low 1-to-2 crew-to-guest ratio, the ship makes tailored experiences a priority.

With 14 eateries and 12 bars and lounges, every guest has plenty of elbow room. Passenger favorites include the specialty Brazilian steakhouse.

While Jewel appeals to a variety of traveler types, it's especially well-suited for families thanks to its age-appropriate kids clubs, a video arcade and waterslides. But there are plenty of diversions to keep grown-ups occupied as well, such as a full-service spa, a casino, sports facilities and an art nouveau-style theater.

As for lodging, cruisers can choose between Inside, Oceanview, Balcony, Club Balcony Suite and Suite category cabins. Those looking for even more space and luxury should opt for a cabin in The Haven, which offers multiple bedrooms and access to a private sun deck. 

Norwegian Jewel sails to a variety of destinations throughout California, Alaska, Asia, Mexico, South America and more.

Celebrity Constellation

Launched in 2002, Celebrity Constellation can accommodate up to 2,184 passengers. The 1-to-2 staff-to-guest ratio allows for personalized attention.

The ship offers nine dining options, including three specialty restaurants that require advanced reservations and an additional fee. Constellation also offers the Luminae restaurant exclusively reserved for Suite Class passengers.

The ship also received a minor refresh to interior and exterior spaces in 2022. 

Even with the added venues, a nearly 2-to-1 guest-to-crew ratio ensures service is a priority. And compared to other Carnival ships, Miracle offers a higher percentage of cabins with ocean views.

Among Royal Caribbean's smaller ships, Grandeur of the Seas welcomes up to 2,440 guests and 760 crew members.

Major cruise ship to make Florida its new home

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Florida will be home to another ship from a major cruise line soon.

Thursday, MSC Cruises announced that it would be making Port Canaveral the new home base for the MSC “Grandiosa” starting in December of 2025.

The “Grandiosa” will be the second MSC ship to be based out of Port Canaveral and will offer seven-night sailings and other cruise trips to the Bahamas.

“The Winter 2025-2026 season will mark our largest presence in the U.S. to date, and our expansion at Port Canaveral is a big part of that,” said Rubén A. Rodríguez, president of MSC Cruises USA,. “Ever since we started sailing from Port Canaveral in 2021, our guests have told us they love how convenient that makes it to experience MSC Cruises’ unique international flavor.

John Murray, CEO of Port Canaveral. “We are so proud of our cruise partner and their tremendous growth in the United States. Expanding their homeport fleet at Port Canaveral underscores their confidence in our partnership and shared commitment to success. We look forward to welcoming all of their valued cruise guests to our beautiful port.”

Ex-biden doj official running for congress says rent is ‘too damn high’ — while holding millions in real estate.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Ex-Biden Justice Department official Maggie Goodlander, who is running for Congress as a Democrat in New Hampshire, says rents in her state are “too damn high” — while simultaneously holding millions of dollars in dozens of real estate assets, including a Florida golf course and a Granite State casino.

Goodlander, who is also married to national security adviser Jake Sullivan, said in a May 14 radio appearance on WGIR-AM’s “New Hampshire Today with Chris Ryan” that “housing is top of mind” for her prospective constituents.

“The rents are too damn high and the cost of buying a home, which is really at the core of the American dream, has been completely unmanageable,” she said.

But that hasn’t been the case for Goodlander, who recorded between $6 and $30 million in trust funds with extensive real estate holdings, according to her husband’s 2024 federal financial disclosures, obtained by The Post.

The trust funds are exclusively Goodlander’s and she netted between roughly $200,000 and $2 million in income last year from interest, capital gains, rent or royalties.

One of the funds gathers interest from Florida golf courses, including the Citrus Hills Golf and Country Club in Hernando, where membership fees cost more than $2,000 annually.

Another fund curiously identifies Boston Billiards as an HVAC company in New Hampshire, which The Post was unable to find in Granite State public records searches.

However, a Boston Billiard Club and Casino in Goodlander’s birth city of Nashua was rebranded last August as the City Gate Casino as part of a $250 million investment by ECL Entertainment, the New Hampshire Business Review reported this past August.

Other properties include office buildings, industrial parks, other commercial and residential real estate, undeveloped land and land leased to Canadian gas company Irving Oil.

“At the Department of Justice, Maggie championed renters and homebuyers by taking on corporations that are jacking up prices, and she has been clear from day one that she will bring those same values to Congress,” the campaign of Maggie Goodlander for Congress said in a statement.

Goodlander’s grandfather, Samuel Tamposi, was the largest commercial real-estate developer in New Hampshire at the time of his death in 1995, with around 400 properties in the Granite State and Florida worth $70 million, the Nashua Telegraph reported in 2013.

Tamposi’s trust fund was later divided among his six children, half of which deferred, allowing the assets to be passed straight to his grandchildren.

Goodlander and Sullivan also purchased a $1.2 million home in the coastal city of Portsmouth in 2018, The Daily Beast and New York Times reported.

“I am a renter, and there should be more renters in Congress,” Goodlander told the Boston Globe earlier this month in her first interview since declaring her candidacy.

During her “New Hampshire Today” interview in mid-May, Goodlander was asked about also leasing a home in Nashua, but did not mention the Portsmouth property.

“I’ve spent much of the last three years working in government to try to hold corporate monopolies accountable for what they have done and are doing to make life harder for hard-working people in this state,” Goodlander said of her campaign’s message to voters in the interview.

“We’re talking about the cost of living, the cost of basic necessities: health care, housing, food on our table,” she added, going on to tout her experience as deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s anti-trust division.

Goodlander’s property and trust fund holdings will draw scrutiny ahead of the competitive Sept. 10 Democratic primary in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, when she will face state Sen. Becky Whitley and Colin Van Ostern, the 2016 Democratic nominee for Granite State governor and a former campaign manager for current Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster, who is retiring after this term.

Van Ostern is endorsed by Kuster as well as former New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, who remains a popular figure in state Democratic circles.

Goodlander’s recent move back to her home state after her stint in Washington has also led to accusations of carpetbagging following her May 9 campaign announcement.

Voting records reported by the Times show Goodlander hasn’t voted in New Hampshire’s 2nd District since 2008, when she was still an undergraduate at Yale University.
