The roundtrip cruise from Sydney (NSW Australia) turned into a nightmare for regular cruise passengers after the liner was overrun with over 1300 workers booked by the India-based tobacco company Kamla Pasand. They boarded the ship on a company-sponsored cruise to attend a conference at sea.

Reportedly, the Indian passengers were rampaging with wild deck parties, women dressed as Playboy bunnies, men running amok, taking over pool deck's bars and Lido restaurant, harassing other passengers, even sabotaging pre-scheduled onboard events (bingo, trivia games, classes, themed activities, live performances). As compensation, all regularly booked passengers were fully refunded.

The accident occurred during 10-day South Pacific Islands cruise (itinerary March 5-15) roundtrip from homeport Sydney to Noumea (New Caledonia), Mystery Island (Vanuatu) and Mare (New Caledonia).

On November 28, 2015, the two largest cruise ships deployed in the South Pacific Ocean met in Sydney Harbour (Australia). Both Royal Caribbean ships (Voyager and the Explorer of the Seas) carried over 10,000 passengers/crew. The Explorer ship was ending a 16-day Australia-New Zealand itinerary out of Fremantle-Perth (via Adelaide and Melbourne) and visited Sydney NSW for the first time.

On the same day, the Voyager ship departed out of Sydney on a 7-day itinerary to Melbourne and Tasmania (Hobart). The special rendezvous celebration started at 6 pm near Fort Denison, with both liners performing maneuvres and a water-supply tugboat doing a traditional water-spraying show.

On December 12, 2014, were reported many passengers suffered from Pertussis (“Whooping cough” / bacterial respiratory disease). Symptoms are similar to common cold – runny nose, fever, mild cough.

She was medevaced via helicopter and transported together with her husband to Royal Perth Hospital.

On November 23, 2012, the ship returned in Sydney NSW from 18-night roundtrip New Zealand cruise with 135 passengers (~4%) suffering from Norovirus. Next voyage's embarkation in Sydney (Circular Quay’s Overseas terminal) was delayed due to sanitation processes. All booked on the next itinerary passengers who didn’t like cruising following the Norovirus outbreak were offered replacement itineraries at later dates.

On October 12, 2012, after the ship arrived in Fremantle-Perth from Singapore (14-night relocation cruise from Asia to Australia), a major Norovirus outbreak affected ~800 of the passengers (no CDC report). One of them had to be airlifted.

On March 25, 2012, a male passenger experiencing stroke-like symptoms was medevaced by USCG helicopter dispatched from Belle Chase (approx 130 ml / 201 km from New Orleans LA). The man was airlifted and flown to NOLA, then transported by an ambulance to Touro Infirmary.

All sick experienced the Norovirus symptoms (Gastrointestinal disease) of vomiting and diarrhoea. The next departure from homeport NOLA New Orleans was delayed for extensive sanitizing.

On March 23, 2011, a female passenger was forcibly removed from the ship (disembarked in Georgetown, Grand Cayman) for violating the cruise line’s guest conduct policy (inappropriate/abusive behaviour). The woman (the rapper Foxy Brown) was involved in an altercation incident with the staff over a missed Beauty Salon appointment.

The ship was on a 6-day themed cruise (“Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage” / radio show) and Foxy was one of the onboard performing celebrities. For her manicure appointment, she showed up 3 hours late and had to be rescheduled. Security staff removed her from the beauty parlour and sent her to her cabin.

All sick were quarantined and treated on the ship. Local authorities were informed. In all ports of call, the majority of passengers were allowed to disembark.

On March 9, 2009, a female passenger sustained injuries (fractured leg and ankle) after falling down the stairs leading from the Royal Promenade to the Casino. Since she had to be medevaced, the ship’s course was altered, which resulted in ~4 hours late arrival in Cozumel Mexico and shortened port stay there. The roundtrip itinerary was from Galveston to Roatan, Cozumel and Costa Maya.

On March 10, 2008, the ship experienced a small fire incident, that damaged its propulsion system. This resulted in changes to arrival/departure times in all 3 ports of call. All shore excursions were shortened.
