Royal Caribbean has issued a new update in regards to how Hurricane Sandy is affecting cruises and there are more changes to be aware of.
Enchantment of the Seas will not be able to call on Kings Wharf, Bermuda, as originally scheduled. Instead, the ship will sail out to sea in an effort to try to find the calmest seas possible.
In addition, due to high winds Monarch of the Seas' departure from Port Canaveral, Florida, today has been delayed. Consequently, the delayed departure and the time and speed needed now will mean Monarch of the Seas will not be able to call on Nassau, Bahamas. Instead, Monarch of the Seas will stop at Freeport, Bahamas. However, calling on Freeport will depend on the time the ship is able to depart Port Canaveral, as well as the most recent weather forecast. Royal Caribbean had previously announced that Monarch of the Seas would skip CocoCay.
Royal Caribbean is monitoring the situation with Hurricane Sandy which could affect guests sailing on Oasis of the Seas tomorrow, Saturday, October 27, and Explorer of the Seas and Jewel of the Seas on Sunday, October 28.
Royal Caribbean will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and will update this information again tomorrow, October 27, at 10:00 a.m. E.S.T.
