Two adorable Stowaways have become the most commented passengers on a transatlantic cruise in the charm of Royal Caribbean's seas.
When the ship left for Miami on February 10 for a 12 night trip through the Atlantic to Barcelona, Spain, its crew did not know that two additional passengers had reached the ship.

Allure of the Seas is one of the largest cruises in the world, so it was not difficult for the little and cunning Stowaways to find a place to hide on board. But a few days after the transatlantic trip, the observer passengers discovered them in the Central Park of the Barco area and began to share photos and videos of the unexpected cruises on social networks.
“We were hunting ducks but we found something better,” Passenger Mini.cruisers shared on a facebook reel to detect the Stowaways.
A passenger said they could not believe their eyes when they realized that additional passengers were real and not the realistic characteristics of the central outdoor and outdoor park of the ship.

Two owls are kept in the charm of the seas of Royal Caribbean
A couple of small excavation owls, which are native to Florida, where the ship left, took refuge in the Barco del Barco space and ended up passing on a holiday cruise through the ocean.
In the Royal Caribbean community in Reddit, a user has been sharing updates about the two beautiful Stowaway adventures through messages provided by their parents who are passengers on the transatlantic trip.
“Two excavation owls have been stored on the cruise to Spain and have caused a great uproar,” Reddit User Gamesyns wrote. “This is what my parents sent me with respect to the situation.”

“We have two excavation owls and a small curruca that was kept in Central Park to make the cross,” the parents wrote. “Unfortunately, the owls have caught so much attention that they now need to be trapped and are not allowed to enter Spain until it is put in quarantine and then … deported? The little bird is difficult to find, so I don't even know if the ship is aware. One of the owls has also explored the solarium and miniature golf course. It has been exciting! “
The Reddit user also shared an update of the ship's captain on the game plan designed to help excavation owls, which are designated as a species threatened in Florida.

“The 2 owners have been collected and placed in cages/temporary boxes. It was stressful for them and less safe being in Central Park as much as we enjoyed looking at them, “said Captain's update.” Now they are being fed, watered and care according to the patterns of animal experts. “
Later, the update was edited to add that one of the two owls managed to escape and fly back to the central park of the ship. The owl was still evading the capture on February 19, one day before the ship arrived at its first call, Cartagena, Spain.
According to a passenger who commented on Reddit's thread, the owl was recaptured on February 20 while the ship was in the port.
The captain's update also declared that the owls would be landed in Cartagena in the care of local authorities, which would handle the process of returning them to Miami, where they could be released safely in their native habitat.

As a Reddit user pointed out in the thread, this is not the first time that an owl is discovered in the Central Park area of one of Royal Caribbean's Oasis ships.
“We had a Stowaway Owl on our Oasis cruise in 2022,” Bundtkate wrote. “The crew apparently took care of him. They called him with due time and made sure he had food. ”
“He was traveling through the Caribbean, so he never attracted that level of attention, but apparently he had been on the ship for some time on our cruise,” Bundtkate continued. “It seems that it could be the same race (like) that. Do I wonder if something about Central Park attracts them?
In 2023, the Florida Fishing and Wildlife Conservation Commission also reported that it helped the Royal Caribbean crew to rescue an owl of the rebel burrow from the Central Park of the Symphony of the seas.
