Thanks for joining us for another weekly look at all of the Royal Caribbean news from this week. The late-summer heat is still on, and we have plenty of Royal Caribbean news to share from this week.
A tropical storm in the Atlantic caused three Royal Caribbean ships to change itineraries in order to avoid being impacted by the storm.
Royal Caribbean announced changes for Freedom of the Seas, Oasis of the Seas and Empress of the Seas that resulted in some variations to the pre-set plans.
The changes for each ship were made to ensure the safety of every guest and crew member aboard. There have been no futher itinerary updates announced for other ships.
