RCL Itineraries Affected by Hurricane Milton


Recommended Posts

There will be many RCL itineraries impacted by Hurricane Milton. This one is going to be a devastating one. Wonder of the Seas, Symphony of the Seas, and Utopia of the Seas will all have impacted itineraries. Harmony of the Seas will also be impacted, missing a call in Rotan. As of late, Symphony of the Seas will be staying out in the ocean avoiding Port Canaveral on October 8, 2024. Will anyone's RCL cruises be impacted by Hurricane Milton?

@Ang I'm seeing recent itinerary changes for Icon of the Seas and Grandeur of the Seas. In addition to what other listed above, we may see more changes in the coming days. I will keep my eyes out for an Adventure of the Seas update, but I haven't seen one yet. Will you be cruising on an upcoming Adventure of the Seas itinerary?

Are there any itineraries change for Adventure of the seas?

Hey @Ang, it Looks like guests are starting to receive communications about the October 11 departure out of Port Canaveral. Here are the details:

 

Dear Guest,                                    

We have an important update to share with you regarding our upcoming Adventure of the Seas, October 11, 2024, sailing.

Along with our Chief Meteorologist, Craig Setzer, we have been tracking the progress of Hurricane Milton. Due to the closure of the Port Canaveral, our previous sailing will be delayed in returning. As a result, our sailing will now take place on Saturday, October 12, 2024, and we’ll have to skip our visit to Willemstad, Curacao.

To ensure a smooth boarding process, all guests should plan on arriving at your new arrival time as listed below. If you have not selected an arrival window, please arrive at 6:30 PM. Kindly note that the terminal will be closed until 4:30 PM. All guests must be checked in and onboard by 7:30 PM and we'll now set sail at 8:00 PM.

Shore Excursions

Any pre-paid Royal Caribbean International shore excursions booked for Willemstad, will automatically be refunded as an Onboard Credit. These credits can be used anywhere onboard, and any remaining, refundable amounts at the end of our sailing will be reimbursed to your card on file in up to 14 business days from final disembarkation. Once onboard, feel free to visit the Royal Caribbean App and select the RTFImage_6706e8d3bcf2687b4b0fbcf6.jpg icon or pass by our Shore Excursions Desk on Deck 5 so our destination experts can help you plan your time in port.

Compensation Details

To make up for this last-minute change and because we’re cutting our sailing short by one (1) day, we’ll provide you with:

  • A refund of one (1) day of your Cruise Fare paid as an Onboard Credit.
  • Additionally, to give us another opportunity to make it up to you – we’ll be providing you with a pro-rated refund as an Onboard Credit for your daily packages (Beverage, Dining, VOOM) and pre-paid gratuities.
  • All Onboard Credits can be used anywhere onboard, and any remaining refundable amounts at the end of our sailing will be refunded to the card on file up to 14 business days from final disembarkation.

Flights & Travel

  • Guests who booked flights and/or transfers through Royal Caribbean International that have been impacted will have arrangements rescheduled for them automatically.
    • Our teams will provide you with your updated transfer details via email.
  • If you’ve pre-purchased your air and transfers independently, please reach out to your carrier to arrange alternate accommodations.
    • We’ll reimburse any travel change fees up to $200 USD for domestic travel and $400 USD for international travel.
    • Please upload your receipts at rcg.questionpro.com/travel for review and reimbursement. 

Loyalty

You’ll receive loyalty points for the original sail nights, instead of the nights sailed. For this sailing, you’ll still receive eight (8) nights’ worth of loyalty points.

This situation is still evolving, and we’re committed to keeping you informed every step of the way.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. We look forward to welcoming you onboard Adventure of the Seas this Saturday.

Sincerely,

Royal Caribbean International

@Emrys Thanks for this update! @Ang Will you be cruising on this Adventure of the Seas itinerary? It's a bummer it had to be pushed back, but at least the cruise wasn't cancelled completely like Disney Wish. Speaking of Disney, I actually had friends that went to the Epcot park yesterday. Apparently they had the whole park to themselves with the shortest ride lines and barley any rain in the morning. That's a true Floridian for you.
