The Luna Landing: Norwegian’s Newest Ship is Basically a Floating Theme Park

If you’ve been following the cruise world lately, you know that the “bigger is better” arms race isn’t slowing down. But before we get into the Norwegian Luna, I should probably admit something I’ve said out loud on the modhop podcast. Despite being a travel pro, I’ve never actually been on a cruise. Yep.

If you’ve ever flown the older Lufthansa A330-300 business class seats, you know the struggle of the 2-2-2 “footsie” game, where you and your neighbor’s feet are practically […]

The Cathay Overhaul: Is the New Diamond Exec Tier and World Elite Mastercard Worth the Hustle?

Jake Redman March 12, 2026

Cathay Pacific just moved the goalposts for status chasers and credit card optimizers. Now, the new Cathay World Elite Mastercard is officially the ‘bridge’ to the 2027 status overhaul. The Threshold: Diamond Exec The old 1,200 Status Point (SP) target for Diamond remains — but the perks worth having are now locked behind a brand-new 2,400 SP ceiling called Diamond Exec. Everything changes January 1, 2027, with 2026 as the transition year to qualify. The Point Gap Diamond: 1,200 SP (unchanged — but pared-back benefits) Diamond Exec: 2,400 SP (new tier, launching Jan 1, 2027) The Squeeze: Regular Diamond members […]
