With 15 percent gratuity added: Aiming to keep smuggled alcohol off ships, Carnival Cruise Line has banned passengers from bringing bottled water and soda pop.
New motto for Carnival: “If your friends could see you now, they’d say, ‘You’re gonna need a second job to pay off that bar tab.’”
Keeping up with youth: In a bid to stay relevant to their young-skewing customers, Taco Bell executives are boning up on what they’re told is millennial lingo, such as “on fleek,” which is said to mean “on point” and which a Taco Bell executive mispronounced as “on cleek” during a meeting with industry analysts.

Don’t know much about history: On this day in 1938, Johnny Vander Meer of the Cincinnati Reds threw the first of what would be back-to-back no-hitters.
