ROYAL CARIBBEAN WILL AMP UP MEMORY-MAKING ON OVATION, HARMONY AND LIBERTY OF THE SEAS IN 2026
The three game-changing ships will be decked out with bolder thrills, unmatched chill and more ways to dine and drink MIAMI, June 18, 2025 /CNW/ -- Royal Caribbean is tripling the adventure in 2026 when it debuts three newly amplified vacations on Ovation, Harmony and Liberty of the Seas. The fan-favorite ships are set to be reimagined with bold new experiences while visiting must-see destinations across Alaska, Europe and the Caribbean. Vacationers have more choices than ever before for all-out adventures starting spring 2026 and can book the vacations now on Royal Caribbean's website. "Royal Caribbean continues to raise the bar on delivering the best of every vacation with revolutionary ships and top-rated exclusive destinations. The Royal Amplified program gives our guests the best of Royal Caribbean with new-to-class culinary options and experiences, entertainment and thrilling adventures, paired with the hospitality and service Royal Caribbean is known for," said Jay Schneider, chief product innovation officer, Royal Caribbean. "After seeing incredible success and guest satisfaction with the amplification of Allure of the Seas, we're excited to bring three new amplifications to our fleet in 2026." With new thrills and laidback chill, bolder ways to dine and drink, leveled-up nightlife, and more ways to stay, families and adventurers can max out memories on a lineup of unmatched experiences: Ovation of the Seas Vacationers can go all out with amplified experiences on Ovation, including a revamped pool deck with private casitas and a new whirlpool. To refuel, there's a variety of international cuisine to indulge in from Tuscan favorites at Giovanni's Italian Kitchen to hibachi at Izumi Teppanyaki. The celebrations continue with tropical cocktails at the Pesky Parrot tiki bar, making its Quantum Class debut; dancing at the brand-new Sound Cellar; and more slots and games at the expanded Casino Royale. Along with new accommodations like the Ultimate Family Suite and Panoramic Suite, the upcoming experiences join a lineup of returning Quantum Class favorites like the Ripcord by iFly skydiving simulator and SeaPlex, the largest indoor activity space at sea. Ovation will take adventure to the next level at sea and on land with getaways to Alaska, where vacationers can take in the wonders of the Last Frontier on 7- to 13-night Alaskan adventures starting spring 2026. Plus, Ovation returns to the region as the first in the action-packed Quantum Class lineup to deliver immersive adventures on land with multi-night Cruisetour experiences. Harmony of the Seas Making its way to Harmony is a new Caribbean-inspired pool deck with tropical sips at the new The Lime & Coconut, as well as a refreshed adults-only Solarium. Adventurers can dive into bold bites at more than 20 venues, including Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade for gameday favorites, El Loco Fresh for Mexican delights and the new Samba Grill Brazilian Steakhouse. Plus, new ways to stay like the Ultimate Family Suite and even bigger nightlife at the largest Casino Royale in Royal Caribbean's fleet create more ways for all kinds of vacationers to make memories. Harmony will kick off its summer glow-up in Europe before the Oasis Class vacation calls Port Canaveral (Orlando), Florida, home. Starting winter 2026, vacationers can get away to the Caribbean on 5- and 7-night vacations to locations like Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, and Falmouth, Jamaica. Adventurers can also visit the vacation brand's top-rated Perfect Day at CocoCay in The Bahamas and purchase their day passes to the all-inclusive Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, debuting December 2025. Liberty of the Seas Families are in for all-new experiences for all ages with unmatched chill at the completely reimagined pool deck with The Lime & Coconut and new casitas, and thrills at an all-new Royal Escape Room concept coming to Liberty. There are flavors for all tastebuds from Japanese cuisine and hibachi at Izumi Teppanyaki to tacos and more at El Loco Fresh, along with a new-to-ship Starbucks. It's all combined with returning favorites on deck, like The Perfect Storm waterslides, crave-worthy restaurants and show-stopping entertainment. Sailing from Southampton in summer 2026, vacationers on Liberty can explore European hot spots with 7-night adventures to places like the awe-inspiring Norwegian fjords, the medieval streets of Bruges, Belgium, and the rich culture of Copenhagen, Denmark. Then, Liberty will head to Galveston, Texas, for the winter season, unlocking more ways for vacationers to explore the Western Caribbean at spots like the vacation brand's Royal Beach Club Cozumel, delivering the ultimate beach day in Mexico when it opens in 2026. Following the newly reimagined Allure of the Seas, the three soon-to-be-amplified vacations are the latest in the award-winning fleet to be transformed as part of Royal Caribbean's Royal Amplified program, first introduced in 2018.

Trustwise Introduces the First Trust Layer for Agentic AI
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Trustwise, the AI Security company, today introduced Harmony AI, the industry's first runtime trust layer and control tower designed for enterprises deploying fleets of generative and agentic AI systems. Harmony AI embeds 'trust as code' directly into AI systems, empowering CISOs, developers, and AI leaders to shield their AI deployments from security risks as they scale. Co-developed with leading financial and healthcare institutions over the past two years, Harmony AI delivers enterprise-grade security and control in production, achieving 90-100% runtime alignment with enterprise safety, compliance, and brand policies, detecting 40% more hallucinations and policy violations than baseline systems, and reducing AI operational costs and carbon emissions by 83% and 64%, respectively. 'Our mission at Health Innovation Network is to find, test, implement, and scale the best of responsible innovation in health. Partnering with Trustwise allows us to work with the providers in our region to deploy agentic AI systems with confidence, underpinned by a trust layer that meets the highest standards of safety, security, and compliance. This isn't just about protecting data, it's about protecting lives,' said Dr. Hatim Abdulhussein, CEO of Health Innovation Kent Surrey Sussex. Traditional Security Models Fail Against Agentic AI Threats Enterprise adoption of autonomous agents is exploding. Gartner predicts that 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, and at least 15% of day-to-day work decisions will be made autonomously through AI agents. Developer usage of agents is also surging, with 99% of developers surveyed by IBM exploring or building AI agents. However, the enterprise stack is not ready. AI agents act unpredictably, overspend, and leak data, amplifying chaos, cost, and compliance risk. They are the next insider threat: unmonitored, deeply embedded, and operating at machine speed. Anyone can build agents, from code writers to copilots, but few can secure and control them. Existing tools like observability and prompt filtering can't stop prompt injections, toolchain exploits, or message compromise that hijack agent behavior. Without AI-SPM, enterprises are flying blind. 'AI agents are transformative, but unshielded agents introduce a new class of insider threats,' said Manoj Saxena, CEO and founder of Trustwise. 'Just like human employees, they require oversight and runtime enforcement. Harmony AI provides the missing trust layer, securing digital workers at runtime while giving developers speed, security teams control, and enterprises the confidence to scale AI safely.' Harmony AI Shields Provide Modular Defense for AI Behavior Harmony AI delivers plug-and-protect security through six modular shields that secure and control both generative AI and agentic AI stacks across any model, agent, or cloud. Built for runtime by default and designed to scale, each of the following shields can operate independently or work together as a layered defense system, giving developers and security teams full visibility and control over AI behavior in real time: MCP Shield: Secures agent-tool execution using Model Context Protocols (MCP) to block tool misuse and unauthorized automation Prompt Shield: Prevents injection attacks, hallucinations, and off-policy outputs through dynamic prompt-level safeguards Compliance Shield: Aligns AI behavior with 17 global standards including ISO 42001, NIST Risk Management Framework, EU AI Act, HIPAA, and FCA Brand Shield: Maintains brand tone, persona, and use case discipline across all agent outputs Cost Shield: Reduces operating costs by intelligently routing between models, controlling token usage, and preventing recursive loops that drive budget explosions Carbon Shield: Reduces carbon footprint through energy-efficient model selection, carbon-aware scheduling, and real-time emission tracking aligned with ISO/IEC 21031:2024 SCI standards 'Developers aren't just securing text anymore, they're securing actions,' said Matthew Barker, head of AI research at Trustwise. 'That demands real-time controls that help both developers and security teams monitor how agents think, decide, and act. Harmony AI acts as a runtime shield, enforcing security and control directly in the decision loop and preventing drift before agents go off course.' Harmony AI Shields are powered by the proprietary Trustwise AI-SPM Engine, combining industry-specific red-teaming datasets, tuned small language models (SLMs) engineered for low-latency performance, synthetic personas, and more than 1,100 mapped controls from OWASP, ISO, NIST, and the EU AI Act. Award-Winning Technology Trustwise has earned industry-wide recognition for innovation, impact, and enterprise readiness. These accolades include: Fintech Leader 2024 by Hitachi Digital Services Winner of the 2024 A.I. Awards InfoWorld Technology of the Year 2024 in the AI and ML: Development category Most Innovative AI Product 2025 by theCUBE Technology Innovation Awards Tech Trailblazers 2024 award winner These honors reflect Trustwise's leadership in building the AI trust layer, delivering real-time security, compliance, and performance optimization for enterprise-grade generative and agentic AI systems. Built for Real-World AI Environments Harmony AI is live in production with top financial and healthcare enterprises, and currently offered in private preview to select Trustwise customers and OEM partners. It is built to integrate seamlessly with: Agent frameworks: LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, and LangChain Foundation models: GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Llama 3, and Mistral Infrastructure: AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premises, and edge Additional Resources Book a free demo Learn more about Trustwise on the company blog Follow Trustwise on LinkedIn and YouTube About Trustwise Trustwise is an AI Security company specializing in securing and controlling the behavior of generative AI and agentic AI systems.

Royal Caribbean passengers demand key onboard change
Cruise passengers have plenty of opinions about the way cruise ships are designed and the activities they offer on board. These kinds of opinions often vary immensely from one passenger to the next, however. Related: Royal Caribbean, Carnival Cruise Line dealing with booking issues Although many cruisers love to discuss their thoughts and onboard suggestions in cruise line fan communities on Reddit, it's rare to see hundreds of passengers agree that their cruise experiences would be better if one key change was made on board. When it comes to designated smoking areas on Royal Caribbean ships, however, cruisers on both sides of the debate for and against cruise ship smoking overwhelming agree that the current location of these areas on many ships has a negative impact on their vacation. That became clear recently when one first-time Royal Caribbean cruiser took to the cruise line's fan community on Reddit with an opinion that got a lot of attention. Sign up for the Come Cruise With Me newsletter to save money on your next (or your first) cruise. "The smoking area shouldn't be right in the middle of the pool deck," MongooseLive2058 posted in the Royal Caribbean community on Reddit. This was MongooseLive2058's only complaint after sailing on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship for the first time. "I just went on my first Royal cruise on the Harmony and loved everything except the fact that I found myself randomly walking through the smoking section when just walking through the pool deck," MongooseLive2058 explained. The post received a lot of attention from Royal Caribbean passengers - more than 700 signaled their agreement with an upvote and more than 300 added their opinions in comments on the thread. Even some smokers agreed with MongooseLive2058. Related: Royal Caribbean makes casino smoking, loyalty program change "As a smoker, I don't want to bother you either. I'd much rather be tucked away than in the center of a pool deck…the glares from non-smokers must be so uncomfortable," ThiccNtaTTd noted. "Yea, I feel the same way as a smoker. Like that's the one thing about Royal ships I always felt was weird. The location of the smoking area by the pool deck," ManyRanger4 added. "Usually the second smoking area is in a much better location away from large crowds. I understand on the top few decks that may be hard but there must be somewhere better." The general consensus among Royal Caribbean Redditors was that cruise ship smoking areas should be moved away from high-traffic areas like the main pool deck. Be the first to see the best deals on cruises, special sailings, and more. Sign up for the Come Cruise With Me newsletter. A number of other passengers suggested that the cruise line should take the proposed smoking area change one step further. "Just ban smoking 100% already," Hype474 wrote in a comment that received more than 350 upvotes. Others pointed out potential problems with introducing a total ban on cruise ship smoking though. "As much as I like the idea, it's not practical," xjaspx commented. "Also, from a safety perspective I would much rather smokers smoke in their designated area with proper disposal for the cigarettes than for them trying to sneak in a smoke in what they perceive as a [less] conspicuous spot that may not have a place for them to dispose of their smoking materials." Related: Carnival Cruise Line offers stern message on vaping, smoking At one time, Carnival Cruise Line had a fully non-smoking cruise ship in its fleet. Carnival Paradise, which launched in 1998, was built as the first non-smoking cruise ship and a smoking ban was strictly enforced on board for a few years. The non-smoking cruise ship didn't generate as much revenue as others in the fleet though, so the cruise line decided to reverse its policy and add designated smoking areas on board by the end of 2003. Although a non-smoking cruise ship wasn't successful at that time, it's very possible that one would perform better today. Cigarette smoking rates among adults have declined significantly over the last 20 years, falling from 22.5% in 2002 to 11.6% in 2022, according to American Lung Association statistics.

Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (HRMY): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (HRMY) on Capital Curiosity's Substack by Taylor Nichols. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on HRMY. Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (HRMY)'s share was trading at $35.03 as of 5th June. HRMY's trailing and forward P/E were 13.37 and 9.45 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. Copyright: zneb076 / 123RF Stock Photo Harmony Biosciences stands out as an overlooked gem in the small-cap biotech space, combining strong financials with pipeline potential in a niche therapeutic area. With a $2 billion market cap and a focus on rare neurological diseases, Harmony's flagship drug WAKIX for narcolepsy has underpinned impressive fundamentals—35% revenue CAGR since 2020, 25% net margins, and consistent free cash flow conversion above 30%. Despite these metrics, the stock trades at just 13x earnings and an EV/EBITDA of 7.9x, reflecting investor scepticism largely tied to single-product dependency and unresolved legal risks from 2023 fraud allegations. Still, Harmony boasts over $480 million in cash, negligible debt, and a stable share count, which enhances confidence in long-term shareholder returns. While WAKIX remains the core revenue driver, the company is aggressively diversifying through M&A, including the Zynerba and Epygenix acquisitions, bringing promising assets like ZYN002 for Fragile X Syndrome into the pipeline. Phase 3 data expected in Q3 2025 could catalyze upside, alongside the development of Pitolisant HD and other preclinical candidates. A DCF valuation incorporating conservative assumptions yields share prices between $38 and $62, implying a substantial upside from current levels. Analyst sentiment is bullish, with eight of nine recent ratings being buys and a $51 average price target. Although risks like competition from Jazz Pharmaceuticals, FDA hurdles, and prolonged legal overhang remain, Harmony's profitability, cash strength, and strategic execution offer investors a compelling asymmetrical opportunity. For those seeking exposure to a profitable, underappreciated rare disease player with both pipeline and financial momentum, Harmony merits close attention. Previously, we covered a on Harmony Biosciences by Long-Access-2143 in April 2025, which aligns with Taylor Nichols' analysis. The stock has seen an appreciation of approximately 13% since then. Both highlight WAKIX's strength and undervaluation, while Long-Access-2143 stresses the mispricing post short-seller attack and details a WAKIX-driven DCF, Nichols places more emphasis on pipeline expansion and cash strength. Together, they reinforce Harmony's appeal as a profitable, underappreciated biotech. Harmony Biosciences Holdings, Inc. (HRMY) is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 27 hedge fund portfolios held HRMY at the end of the first quarter which was 26 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of HRMY as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Eid-ul-Azha: A Call For Peace, Justice & Spiritual Renewal
Nagpur: Eid-ul-Azha, the Festival of Sacrifice, profoundly honours Prophet Abraham's (peace be upon him) unwavering devotion to God. His readiness to sacrifice what he cherished most, in submission to divine will, stands as a timeless symbol of faith, surrender, and moral excellence. Beyond its rituals, Eid-ul-Azha urges Muslims worldwide to reflect on justice, spiritual growth, and the duty to foster peace in a world divided by conflict and hatred. The Quran provides clear guidance: "Be steadfast in your devotion to God, bearing witness to the truth with equity; and never let hatred of anyone lead you into straying from justice. Be just: this is closest to God-consciousness" (Quran 5:8). This verse emphasises that righteousness must transcend personal animosity. Upholding justice, even for adversaries, is a cornerstone of faith and essential for global harmony. Acting justly in favourable settings is commendable, but true moral integrity shines when fairness is extended to those who harbour enmity. This higher ethical standard defines authentic morality and reflects divine wisdom. Prophet Abraham's life embodies these principles.
