Royal Caribbean International continues to closely monitor the path and progress of Hurricane Irene
In an abundance of caution, and in order to provide guests with a safe and comfortable sailing, Explorer of the Seas will depart Cape Liberty, Bayonne, New Jersey, today, Saturday, August 27 at 4:00 p.m. – one hour earlier than originally scheduled. We ask that all guests arrive at the pier no later than 3:00 p.m. today.
Regrettably, the island of CocoCay, Bahamas, was impacted by the storm, and we feel our guest’s experience ashore would be disrupted. Because of this, we have cancelled Majesty of the Seas’call to CocoCay for today, August 27, Monarch of the Seas’ call to CocoCay on Sunday, August 28, and Freedom of the Seas’ call to CocoCay on Monday, August 29.
Monarch of the Seas will now stay overnight in Nassau, Bahamas, arriving at 12:00 p.m. today and departing at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, August 28.
Majesty of the Seas will also stay overnight in Nassau, Bahamas, arriving at 12:00 p.m. today and departing at 5:00 pm. on Sunday, August 28.
Freedom of the Seas will call on Nassau, Bahamas, on Monday, August 29 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
At this time, Royal Caribbean has not altered the itineraries of any other ship that departs today or tomorrow. Royal Caribbean will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and will update this information again tomorrow, August 28 at 10:00 a.m. E.S.T.
