boscobeans Posted September 9, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Royal Caribbean International announced on Saturday afternoon that it was sending ships to St. Thomas and St. Maarten in a bid to not only provide supplies, but transport evacuees following Hurricane Irma. The Adventure of the Seas will make a humanitarian stop in St. Maarten on Sunday and Majesty of the Seas will make humanitarian calls in St. Thomas and St. Maarten to provide supplies and also assist in transporting evacuees in St. Maarten to safety, the company said. The September 15 cruise aboard the Majesty of the Seas has been cancelled and the ship will be utilized for rescue efforts in the Caribbean. The Empress of the Seas and Enchantment of the Seas are also ready to assist Key West and Tampa once the impact of the storm is known, Royal Caribbean added.

Jeremiah1212 Posted September 9, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 9, 2017 NCL is sending the Sky to St. Thomas to pick up stranded people also. What an awful situation for everyone involved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachnative Posted September 9, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I am not surprised at this because Royal Caribbean has helped before. This news should quell some of those claiming Royal is greedy but I doubt that it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkacruiser Posted September 9, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I applaud what Royal Caribbean is doing as well as NCL. I am waiting to hear what Carnival's plans may be as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
