Friends, it’s true: Everyone poops. It’s true on the ground. It’s true on the go. And that means it’s true on airplanes. Now, listen, no one is arguing that going to the bathroom on a plane is the most pleasant part of your travel experience. Airplane bathrooms are tiny, not always tidy, and you often have to wait in line to use them. But it doesn’t have to be awful every time. A few professional tips and tricks can help make your airplane potty break better. Next time you get the urge to go on a plane, here are a few things to keep in mind. And please, for the love of God, keep your shoes on in the lavatory.

Everything you never wanted to know about why airplane bathrooms are annoying.

Icebergs have more in common with Instagram than you might expect. With both, what you see is only 10 per cent of what’s really there. For every towering wall of blue-tinged ice, every Viennetta-slab of pristine, swirly white, every pebble-dashed shard scraped from the base of a glacier floating on top of the frigid waters, there’s a far larger monolith, lurking beneath the surface. Greenland, the vast island with two-thirds of its landmass above the Arctic Circle, is one of the very best places in the world to see icebergs. Head to the Ilulissat Icefjord – a Unesco world heritage site on the country’s crenellated west coast – and you can’t move for the things. This is the home of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the fastest-moving and most active glaciers in the world, which calves a hard-to-comprehend 35km cubed of ice into the sea each year.

With a new airport opening in the capital later this month and a clutch of expedition cruise itineraries available, Joanna Booth finds out how Greenland is becoming more accessible

The planned move of the SS United States to Florida from its South Philadelphia pier on Friday has been delayed, according to a release by Okaloosa County. Previously, officials had planned to tow out the historic ocean liner down the Delaware River at low tide around 7 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 15, but plans are now "delayed to ensure logistical details and procedures maintain ideal conditions for the move." The county is also monitoring a tropical system developing around the Gulf of Mexico that could impede the ship's safe delivery.

The historic ship is set to rest off the coast of Florida after Okaloosa County acquired it to convert it into an artificial reef.

When planning an international trip, having a valid passport right when you plan to travel may not suffice at the airport. In fact, many countries require passports to be valid months after your intended departure date. While specifics can vary by country, the small detail can, of course, become a very big problem. Many destinations require travelers to have at least three or six months left on their passport before entering the country, and an airline may not allow travelers to board if they have less than the required amount, according to the U.S. Department of State. Additionally, other destinations — like Canada, Mexico, and Ireland — require passports to be valid at the time of entry or for the duration of a stay.

A guide to which countries require U.S. passports to be valid three or six months ahead of a traveler's planned departure date.

The next sailing of Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas has been pushed back three days to Nov. 17. During a transatlantic repositioning cruise that departed Barcelona on Nov. 2, the ship encountered an unexpected wind gust on Nov. 7 near Tenerife that caused it to list. A passenger was injured, and a medical disembarkation added days to the cruise.

In the days when my husband, daughter and I cruised as a family, we took checked-in luggage – but even then, it was only a single, modest suitcase, which we shared. It was always far less than the other passengers brought onboard, but we still found that we each only wore half the clothes we’d brought. It was for this reason that I eventually opted to (excuse the pun) pack that in, and started cruising (in fact, travelling entirely) with only hand luggage. There were protests from husband and daughter (“But cruising bag allowances are so generous! What about the formal nights?”), but not for long: they soon saw the benefits.

Cruising with carry-on only can be a thoroughly liberating experience; you just have to know the tricks

The sticker price on your cruise might look quite different from the bill by the time the trip is over. Vacations at sea can offer passengers value with pricing models that roll accommodations, entertainment and dining into one. However, first-time passengers may not realize how many features on and off the ship may come at an extra cost.

Embarkation day routines may have changed a bit in the current era, but long-time cruisers still have favorite things they like doing as soon as they get on the ship. Some make a beeline for the poolside bar, while others head to the buffet. Some want to explore the ship, posting photos and videos online before they lose cell service. Others start unpacking their belongings into their proper places.

Learn these important do's and don'ts -- where to eat, what to wear and whether that drink package is worth it -- for your first day on your next cruise ship.
