Below Deck S12 Premieres With Luggage Mishap

Below Deck season 12 premiered on June 2, featuring Captain Kerry Titheradge, returning and new crew members—including a Love Island France alum and a religious chef—sailing through the Caribbean, specifically St Barths, St Maarten, and Anguilla. The premiere episode gained attention after all guest luggage was mistakenly left at the dock, prompting widespread amusement and discussion on social media. The show continues to draw viewers with its blend of high-seas drama and varied personalities. Behind the scenes, producers have at times edited or withheld footage due to escalated crew altercations. In the cruise industry, Royal Caribbean has introduced chief dog officers, Sailor and Rover, to provide comfort and organic guest interactions. These developments reflect ongoing innovation and entertainment strategies in the cruise and yachting television sectors.
