Tropical Weather Update

 

September 23, 2004 - 7 p.m.

 

 

Royal Caribbean International continues to closely monitor Hurricane Jeanne, Tropical Storm Ivan and other tropical weather conditions, to ensure our guests enjoy safe and comfortable cruises and to make certain our ships steer clear of any storms.

 

The safety and comfort of our guests are always the foremost concern of Royal Caribbean International. We are pleased to report that our ships in the Caribbean are sailing in calm seas and warm, sunny weather.

 

Based on Hurricane Jeanne's location and projected path, Royal Caribbean International may need to alter the itineraries of two ships. Tropical Storm Ivan will have no impact on any Royal Caribbean International ships. Itinerary changes are listed below. We will update this information three times daily, at 10 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m.

 

Royal Caribbean International is currently unable to bring ships to Coco Cay, Bahamas, our private island. Storm-related repairs are ongoing and should be complete in the coming weeks.

 

Additionally, storm recovery efforts in Freeport, Bahamas, and Georgetown, Cayman Islands, prevent us from visiting those ports. We look forward to returning to those locations in the very near future.

 

Ships scheduled to make port calls at these locations in the coming weeks will make alternative port calls or spend the day at sea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ships sailing from Port Canaveral

 

 

 

<LI>UPDATED: Sovereign of the Seas, departing Friday on a three-night sailing, may not be able to make its port call at Nassau, Bahamas, on Saturday. If not, the ship will make a port call in Miami, Florida, that day.

 

 

Ships sailing from the Port of Miami

 

<LI>UPDATED: Majesty of the Seas, departing Friday on a three-night sailing, may not be able to make its port call at Nassau, Bahamas, on Saturday. If not, the ship will make a port call in Key West, Florida, that day.

 

<LI>UPDATED: Explorer of the Seas, currently on its September 19 sailing, may not be able to make its port call at Nassau, Bahamas, on Saturday. If not, the ship will spend Saturday at sea.

 

 

At this time, no Royal Caribbean International ships are being impacted by tropical weather. We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and update this information at 10 a.m. Friday.

Hmm. This is strange. The Port Authority announced earlier this afternoon the closing of Port Canaveral effective at 10 AM Saturday. You'd think there would be some statement concerning this, as it effects the Mariner.

The Mariner has been unable to dock at Port Canaveral since Hurricane Frances. All other ships have since resumed cruising from Port Canaveral, but due to the deeper draft of the Mariner, it has not yet been able to return. They have been dredging the channel, but in the meantime, I believe the Mariner has been cruising from either Miami or Fort Lauderdale.

Mariner docked in Port canaveral last weekend and departed from there. RCCL announced it on the website and I watched it on the webcam.

Port Canaveral is tentatively scheduled to close, but due to the very unpridictable course of Jeanne they will not close the port if it does not proceed as prdicted. Remember it eas supposed to be in about this position last weekend before it's loop. :)

Hasn't moved much, but is expected to start moving west tonight or Friday. Hopefully it will wait for us to get out on Mariner Sunday.

As stated above the Mariner left from PORT CANAVERAL last Sunday on schedule

Not true. I stepped off the Mariner Sunday Sept 12 in Port Canaveral!

OK, I stand corrected; one of our local news channels had been reporting that the Mariner had not been able to return. I should have read all the press reports on the Port Canaveral website before assuming the news report was accurate.
