Adverse weather in the Atlantic has affected Cruise & Maritime Voyages' Azores from reaching the UK on time. Originally scheduled to arrive into Bristol Avonmouth on Wednesday 25th February, after her maiden voyage with CMV - a 30-night exotic voyage to the West Indies, the ship was forced to make an unscheduled call into Lisbon, where it took shelter, until conditions improved.
Thick fog is delaying the arrival of Royal Caribbean International's Brilliance of the Seas into the port of Tampa. The Radiance class vessel was scheduled to arrive into the Florida port during Monday morning, however the dense fog in the Gulf of Mexico, meant that it was unsafe to manoeuvre the 962ft ship through the twisting channel.
According to reports, Royal Caribbean International's Rhapsody of the Seas is in the path of a huge monster storm off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Cyclone Marcia, has been causing damage for the past couple of days.

Hurricane Gonzalo, which is currently battering Bermuda, has forced Royal Caribbean to alter Explorer of the Seas' upcoming schedule. The local authority in Bermuda, has asked that all tourists do not attempt to visit the island over then next few days, as the hurricane passes over the island and while the recovery efforts are underway. Therefore, Explorer's 18th October sailing from New Jersey, will no longer call at Bermuda and will now visit Halifax, Nova Scotia on Monday 20th October from 7am until 3pm and St. John, New Brunswick on October 21st from 9am, departing 8pm. The new itinerary now differs greatly from the original one and Royal Caribbean is asking guests to pack accordingly for the weather, which is significantly colder, than what guest would expect in Bermuda. As a gesture of goodwill, Royal Caribbean is providing each stateroom with an undisclosed amount of onboard credit. If guests are unhappy with the changes and would like to cancel their voyage, Royal Caribbean are offering guests a future cruise certificate for 25% of the cruise fare paid for their sailing. Explorer of the Seas was scheduled to sail a 5-night cruise from New Jersey to Bermuda and back. It is not known if Explorer's 25th October sailing will be affected. |
