At Norwegian Cruise Line, the safety and security of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance. Therefore, the company is closely monitoring the paths of both Hurricane Danielle and Tropical Storm Earl.

Hurricane Danielle is forecasted to pass near the island of Bermuda this weekend. Therefore, there is a possibility that we will have to slightly modify Norwegian Spirit’s itinerary. The ship will depart Boston as scheduled today; however, Norwegian Spirit’s arrival time into Bermuda, currently scheduled for Sunday, August 29, will be dependent on the speed and the path of the storm.

All ships will depart their respective homeports according to the published schedule. Any possible itinerary changes will only relate to port content based on the path of the storm.

Due to the forecasted path of Hurricane Earl, Royal Caribbean International is altering the current itineraries for Enchantment of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas.

Enchantment of the Seas will call on San Juan, Puerto Rico today, as scheduled, but will cancel the call at St. Thomas tomorrow in order to avoid inclement weather from the storm. On Monday, the ship will call at Samana, Dominican Republic, and Labadee, Haiti, on Tuesday. The ship will spend Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at sea as it returns to Baltimore on Saturday, as scheduled. Enchantment of the Seas is currently sailing a nine-night Eastern Caribbean itinerary, which departed Baltimore on August 26.

Oasis of the Seas will be unable to make its scheduled port calls to Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas on Tuesday and Phillipsburg, St. Maarten on Wednesday. The most recent forecast simply places the storm too close to these ports of call during the time Oasis of the Seas would be sailing there. The ship will now call at Costa Maya and Cozumel, Mexico, on Wednesday, September 1, and Thursday, September 2, respectively. Oasis of the Seas is sailing a seven-night Caribbean itinerary, which departed Ft. Lauderdale on August 28.

No other Royal Caribbean International ship's itinerary is currently being affected by Hurricane Earl. Royal Caribbean will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and will update this information if there are any additional itinerary alterations due to the storms projected path.
