Glass shatters on Royal Caribbean ship near Port Canaveral
The Brief A large glass panel shattered and fell from a restaurant window aboard Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas as it neared Port Canaveral, narrowly missing passengers below. No injuries were reported, and the ship continued its scheduled itinerary after same-day repairs. ORLANDO, Fla. - A Royal Caribbean cruise passenger captured video of a frightening incident Sunday when a large pane of glass shattered and fell from a restaurant window aboard the Symphony of the Seas, narrowly missing people on the deck below. What we know Travel content creator Tytti Tuliainen was dining on the ship when she heard a loud cracking sound and saw one of the floor-to-ceiling glass panels break from the outside, sending shards onto poolside deck chairs as the ship was preparing to dock in Port Canaveral. The vessel had departed Cape Liberty in Bayonne, New Jersey, and was making its first scheduled stop in Florida. Tuliainen said the glass "shattered into tiny pieces" and fell to the deck shortly after the initial crack. Her video shows the broken glass landing on empty chairs, sparking concern among passengers. Guests credited Nitin Kumar, a waiter at the ship's restaurant, for quickly warning passengers to move before the glass fell. According to a passenger's social media post, Kumar "sprinted down to the pool deck and told the people in deck chairs to move," adding, "Dude saved some lives, for sure." Responding online, Kumar said, "You all are my family. What I did, I did for family … I learned from this company how to take care of my guests like family." Same-day repairs were made to the window, and no injuries were reported. The ship continued its itinerary to the Bahamas and is scheduled to return to New Jersey on June 13.

How to taste 200 miles of bourbon country without leaving Louisville: 6 tasting rooms to visit
Traveling to every bourbon distillery that has a Louisville satellite tasting room would take more 200 miles and three hours. But traveling between their outposts in Louisville only takes a few minutes. Louisville's bourbon tasting room culture is growing. In 2022, the Kentucky General Assembly passed a bill that allows distilleries to launch satellite tasting rooms, similar to California's Sonoma and Napa Valley wine regions. Tasting rooms are different than distillery bars, as they typically serve as more of an urban outposts for brands that distill or blend bourbon in other locations. Kentucky's bourbon country is vast, and not every enthusiast has the time to visit every inch of it. As such, distilleries in places like Frankfort, Owensboro and Bardstown have all opened tasting rooms in Louisville, as a way for these rural, somewhat hard-to-reach giants to better introduce themselves to Kentucky Derbygoers and Louisville's bustling convention crowd, and perhaps, entice them to come back for a longer bourbon adventure, later.

Tourists on the Tram? Roosevelt Islanders Are Fed Up.
Good morning. It's Wednesday. Today we'll find out why some Roosevelt Island residents want priority boarding on the tram to and from Manhattan. We'll also get details on former Mayor Michael Bloomberg's endorsement of Andrew Cuomo for his former job. New York is a city where people stand in lines to get into restaurants, to get into Broadway shows and lately even to get onto the unassuming Roosevelt Island tram. Social media discovered the tram several years ago and turned it into a tourist destination, an inexpensive way to take in the Manhattan skyline. Even on cloudy, foggy days, a steady stream of sightseers rides the tram — and on a picture-perfect day, something can happen that was once unheard-of: Lines can form at the tram station in Manhattan, on Second Avenue just beyond the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge. Long lines, some Roosevelt Island residents say. 'Sometimes the lines can be 45 minutes or an hour,' said Anna Zychlinsky Scharff, a physician and researcher in pediatric oncology who lives on Roosevelt Island. 'I have to get to day care to pick up my kid. I don't have 45 minutes.' Residents like Zychlinsky Scharff want what some passengers get at the airport: priority boarding. Paul Krikler, a member of Manhattan Community Board 8 and the chairman of its Roosevelt Island Committee, said that 'fast pass' boarding would let residents and people who work on Roosevelt Island 'go about our regular lives, going to work, school, doctors' appointments and the like' no matter how big the tourist crowds are. The community board approved a resolution in January that called for priority boarding. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
