October 10, 2024

Here are updates as of late Wednesday afternoon:
Royal Caribbean
Due to the predicted impact on Port Tampa Bay, Royal Caribbean's port logistics team has secured several back-up plans for Enchantment of the Seas, Grandeur of the Seas and Serenade of the Seas’ upcoming turns.
Port Canaveral and Port Everglades are being evaluated as potential options for disembarkation should Tampa not be available with transportation for passengers' onward journeys.
A final decision will be made based on the status of the ports post-storm.
PortMiami-based Independence of the Seas’ Oct. 5 sailing will have a delayed turn, now scheduled for Friday. The ship's revised Oct. 11 cruise will swap Labadee for a sea day on Saturday and visit Perfect Day at CocoCay Sunday.
Mariner of the Seas will have a delayed arrival at Galveston on Thursday.
Adventure of the Seas’ Oct. 5 cruise will have a delayed turnaround at Port Canaveral, now scheduled for Saturday. The ship's revised Oct. 12 sailing will skip Curaçao.
And Canaveral-based Utopia of the Seas’ Oct. 7 sailing will be late back, too, now scheduled for Saturday. On Thursday Utopia will call at Labadee instead of Nassau.
In order to steer clear of any adverse weather and get ahead of the storm for its return to Cape Liberty, New Jersey, Symphony of the Seas will skip its visit to Labadee on Thursday and have a sea day instead.
Princess Cuises
Sun Princess's stateside arrival and debut is delayed due to Port Everglades' closure. The ship is now expected to conclude its trans-Atlantic repositioning from Europe on Friday, port conditions permitting.
Then a short, non-revenue introductory cruise for the trade is planned before Sun Princess's scheduled Oct. 14 revenue sailing.
Disney Cruise Line
Though Disney Wish's Oct. 11 cruise from Port Canaveral was canceled, as earlier reported, Disney Cruise Line has not made any modifications to Disney Fantasy's Oct. 5 voyage, which is due back at Canaveral on Saturday.
MSC Cruises
Port Canaveral-based MSC Seashore was scheduled to return Thursday; now it depends on when the port reopens. The Oct. 10 three-night sailing from Canaveral is canceled. It's expected the Oct. 13 cruise will operate on schedule.
Miami-based MSC Magnifica is projected to turn around at PortMiami on Friday as scheduled.
Carnival Cruise Line
In addition to the earlier reported delayed returns of Carnival Paradise to Tampa and Carnival Elation to Jacksonville, the Miami-based Carnival Sunrise will not be able to return to PortMiami on Thursday. It's expected Friday instead.
Carnival Glory will not be able to return to Port Canaveral on Friday; it's now projected back Saturday.
