Vacations

Royal Caribbean Cruises put a bunch of tourists in a death trap by setting them up with a reckless Jamaican bus driver who ended up getting into a huge wreck ... according to a new lawsuit.

The 8 passengers suing were aboard the Independence of the Seas a year ago when they pulled into port and booked a day excursion to Dunn's River Falls ... which required them to take a bus, and their description of the ride is pretty hairy.

They say the driver was speeding, changing lanes and generally driving like a maniac. They repeatedly asked him to slow down, but were told he was driving "the way everyone typically drove in Jamaica."

According to docs, the only thing slow about the driver was his reaction to an oncoming truck ... which had swerved into their lane. The passengers say their wheel man failed to get out of the way, and the bus was broadsided and flipped multiple times ... causing severe and permanent injuries.

They say Royal Caribbean stuck them with an incompetent driver and failed to provide a safe excursion.

A Carnival cruise passenger sprang a major leak while playing mini-golf on the ship -- as in, his arm was ripped wide open, and we got the gory pics he says prove the cruise line's to blame.

Dzung Tran says he was mini-golfing aboard the Carnival Splendor last summer when he tripped and fell over a loose border on the course. He says he suffered numerous injuries ... the worst of which was to his arm.

Tran says he was impaled by a club which tore a major artery in his upper arm. If you want to know how major, check out the photos. You might want to sit down first.

Tran claims the golf course was poorly maintained and not built to code, so he's suing for a ton of dough. We reached out to Carnival. No word back yet.

Take a look at the course ... if you've recovered from the injury pics.

Kylie Jenner is in the running for Mexico's top MILF this winter ... well, step-MILF.

Turns out Tyga's son, King, is on vacay with his dad and KJ too. He was splashing around in the pool Wednesday down in Punta Mita. Kid looks like he's having fun.

Not as much fun as Tyga ... but still fun.

And if you're NOT into kids, there's this shot. Best babysitting outfit. Ever.

Chloe Grace Moretz isn't riding into the sunset, but she is getting some killer snow-packed mountain views for the holidays instead.

Chloe and her family hit up Telluride and they're chilling in this stunning Airbnb rental ... hooked up by the company.

The 4 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom pad has postcard perfect scenery outside just about every room ... and access to a 13 mile cross country ski course -- if you're into exercising as much as relaxing.

We're told the fam's been camped out there just over two weeks now.

#WishWeWereThere

And

Fergie can forget that tired old resolution about getting in shape -- 'cause girl's bikini body is already bangin'!

Fergie's splashing around in the Maui surf with hubby Josh Duhamel -- and after getting all wet, she made sure to dry her buns ... with some direct Hawaiian sunlight.

When Kylie Jenner goes on vacation ... Tyga wins big time. So do we, come to think of it.

KJ and Tyga are down at Joe Francis' famed estate in Punta Mita, Mexico ... and lounging by the pool. Kylie didn't leave much to the imagination Tuesday as she flaunted some ass-tastic swimwear.

Mariah Carey was even higher than 7,900 feet above sea level during her Aspen vacay ... assuming she indulged in any of the high grade marijuana she bought there.

Mimi stopped by a local pot shop called The Original Leaf at least a few times over the Christmas weekend ... according to our Aspen sources. We're told she went with a very popular strain called Amafu, which goes for $400 an ounce! Expensive anywhere other than Aspen.

According to OL's site ... it's a sativa strain that's "great for the great outdoors."

As for how much MC bought -- we're told she never breached the legal limit ... 1 oz. per transaction.

It's possible she was just buying a Christmas gift for a friend, or this explains her initially chill response to the New Year's Eve mess.

Mark Wahlberg's wife gets you coming ... and going.

Rhea Durham wore the hell out of a bikini while on vacation in Barbados.

Oh yeah ... and Mark was there too.

Prez Obama continues his cost-cutting initiatives by sharing a cup of shaved ice with Malia.

POTUS/daughter shared the moment during their annual vacay in Hawaii. She's taking a year off before going to Harvard.

Doesn't matter how powerful you are ... shaved ice is delicious.

Heidi Klum and Seal have the co-parenting thing down pat -- just take your kids on a luxurious ski vacation ... works every time.

The exes reunited with their 4 children in Aspen. It's an annual holiday trip for Klum and the kids, but Seal hasn't usually attended since their big D.

Hugh Jackman's mouth says he's hanging up his Wolverine claws, but his ripped beach body says otherwise.

Hugh took a dip down in Australia, where someone tried to show him up by flashing even more skin ... downstairs, anyway.

Smuggling. It's not just for drug dealers anymore.

If the walls of Nicki Minaj's Turks & Caicos birthday rental could talk, they'd whisper something about Kylie Jenner's ass celebration on the same $35 million estate.

Nicki's been there with her mom and several friends celebrating her 34th. We're told Meek Mill was there too, but left early.

If you look past Nicki's body, you might recognize the house ... since this is where Kylie had her 19th birthday party in August. She got the pad comp'd through Airbnb, but we're told Nicki threw down major stacks to stay there. The going rate is about $10k per night for 3 oceanside villas.

One look at the place, and even that steep price feels worth it.

Ricky Martin and his new fiance -- Swedish stud Jwan Yosef -- turned their private beach in Mexico into muscle beach ... complete with some serious-ish ink.

44-year-old Ricky showed off his tan, ripped bod and clearly has no problem rocking a Speedo these days. They appear to be wearing matching diamond rings, so it's possible they're already married.

We wonder if Jwan has a lower back tat to match Ricky's though.

Hilary Duff and her BF did some hardcore beach combing down in Mexico ... with minimal clothing, muchas gracias.

In case you forgot ... Jason Walsh made sure everyone in Puerto Vallarta knew he's a personal trainer by flexing through their day on the beach.

Jessica Biel's got us drooling again, and wishing we were Justin Timberlake ... again.

Jessica flaunted her toned bod during a Caribbean vacay with Justin. It's the first time we've seen her rocking the hell out of a bikini since giving birth to 1-year-old son, Silas.

Speaking of toddlers, Justin looks like he's salivating too ... and ya can't blame him.

'Bachelor' couple Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell finally took in their first post-show vacay, but even downtime for them requires cameras.

Scene: Gansevoort Turks + Caicos for 10 days at a $845 a night oceanfront suite.

Action: They spent the week snorkeling, taking dips in the infinity pool and getting rubbed.
