Royal Caribbean has canceled several upcoming U.S. sailings and relocated 77,668 berth-days to Asia while maintaining overall capacity unchanged. The liner Navigator of the Seas will navigate year-round from Singapore starting October 2026. These operational changes follow a bond deal and record fuel costs.
In a separate incident, a passenger described a scuba equipment explosion 50 feet underwater near St. Thomas. The cruise line also added four casino changes that will increase costs for guests.
These cancellations and new fees are sparking attention from both vacationers and industry experts. The company is attempting to manage its global fleet to address changing market demand.
