The sailing has been delayed by two weeks

The line has told guests the inaugural sailing, a seven-night Eastern Caribbean tour scheduled to depart Port Canaveral on 17 August 2025, has been cancelled “after a review of the work that remains to be done”, without specifying the exact reason for the two-week delay.

 

“We’re truly sorry for the impact that this delay has had on your vacation plans,” Royal Caribbean said in an email to guests.

The sailing has been pushed back by two weeks to 31 August 2025, with Royal giving guests booked on the original sailing the opportunity to board the new date and be assigned a like-for-like stateroom.
