Royal Caribbean is moving ships around to avoid a blizzard and bad winter weather along the east coast of the United States.
So far two cruise ships have had their itineraries changed because of the poor weather, and additional changes could be announced.
Passengers on Star of the Seas and Odyssey of the Seas have both been notified of changes to their cruise plans as a result of the storm.
Here's a look at what's changed so far.
Star of the Seas will skip Perfect Day at CocoCay
The February 22 sailing of Star of the Seas will have to skip Royal Caribbean's private island.
"Due to a weather system expected to bring unfavorable conditions and rough seas to Perfect Day at CocoCay on Monday, February 23, we will be skipping our visit and enjoy a Sea Day instead."
Because the ship will bypass CocoCay, they will now arrive in St. Thomas earlier.
"We're terribly sorry for the last-minute change caused by thee weather - your safety is our top priority."
This is one of a handful of visits to CocoCay that has been scrapped this winter so far because of bad weather conditions.
Odyssey of the Seas will stay in homeport overnight
Odyssey of the Seas will return to Cape Liberty on February 22, but will be delayed in leaving on her sailing because of the expected blizzard.
A letter sent to guests booked on the sailing they’re expecting “high winds and rough seas.”
A cruiser posted on Reddit, "We’re due to sail out of NJ tomorrow on the Odyssey and just heard from RC that we won’t be leaving at the original 2pm departure time, that we’ll likely be docked overnight, meaning we wouldn’t leave til Monday morning."
The ship is scheduled to visit Port Canaveral, Florida on Tuesday, Nassau, Bahamas on Wednesday and CocoCay on Thursday. All of those plans could be changed if the ship is delayed in leaving a day.
The issue will be when it's safe to depart and if the Port of New York will be open or not.
Biggest winter storm in years expected
Officials along the east coast are expecting a major winter storm that could dump up to 20 inches of snow in parts of the Northeast starting late in the weekend.
The National Weather Service said on Saturday this winter storm is now expected to bring "significant impacts" across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Sunday into Monday.
Blizzard and winter storm warnings were issued for tens of millions of people across a swath of the Northeast, concentrating around New York City.
Blizzard conditions from heavy snowfall and strong winds are expected along the East Coast from Delaware through southeastern New England.
The nor'easter comes from a storm moving from the Gulf Coast over the weekend, spreading accumulating snow from West Virginia through the mid-Atlantic and into southern New England from Saturday night through Monday.
New Jersey, where Cape Liberty is located, has already declared a state of emergency by its governor.
