Applications are now open for Margaritaville’s exclusive dog-friendly cruise, Cruise Tails, and you can apply directly on the official website.

The cruise is accepting only 250 dogs, so early application is key. Applicants are encouraged to carefully review the qualifications, protocols, and tips before applying. Spots will be allocated as applications are accepted, and with over 5,000 registrations in the first week, cabins are filling fast. Remaining applications will transition to a waitlist system once capacity is reached.

Cruise Tails Captain Steve Matzke commented on the influx of registrations, saying, “The enthusiasm and positive response we’ve received so far have been incredible. We’re thrilled to be able to provide such a unique travel experience where dogs are not just allowed, but celebrated as part of the family. This is more than just a cruise; it’s a chance to create lasting memories with your friends and family.”

The cruise will feature an array of pet-friendly amenities, including accommodations with a Pet Butler, professional grooming services, splash stations, and massages for both pups and their humans. Additional highlights include themed parties and pre-cruise events.

For human passengers, the ship also offers exclusive areas like the Margaritaville Casino, pools, live entertainment, and dining at 12 island-inspired venues.

Mexico just added a tax for cruise passengers: What it means for your trip
Visiting Mexico by cruise ship? You'll soon have to pay up
Carnival Cruise ship

Cruise passengers heading to Mexico will soon be paying a little more. Starting July 1, 2025, the Mexican government will implement a new head tax for travelers arriving at the country’s ports by cruise ship. The initial fee is set at $5 per person and will apply to all cruise guests entering Mexico, a move that comes as part of a broader agreement between the cruise industry and Mexican officials.

Mexico is one of the world’s most popular cruise destinations, with hotspots like Cozumel drawing millions of travelers annually. The new tax replaces a previously proposed $42 fee that was originally scheduled to go into effect this summer. After pushback from cruise lines and tourism advocates, a compromise was reached, resulting in a more gradual rollout of smaller fees.

Norovirus outbreaks are surging on cruise ships in 2025: Here’s how to stay safe
Norovirus outbreaks on cruise ships are at a record high

Norovirus is making waves on cruise ships in 2025, with a sharp rise in outbreaks reported so far this year. As of early May, 16 outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness on cruise ships have met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) threshold for public notification. Alarmingly, 12 of those outbreaks were caused by norovirus, the highly contagious virus known for its rapid spread and harsh symptoms.

One of the most recent incidents occurred on Holland America Line's Eurodam, where 148 passengers and 22 crew members fell ill between April 12 and May 3. This spike in outbreaks is notable, as previous years saw far fewer incidents: 2024 recorded 18 outbreaks in total, while 2023 saw 14.
