HURRICANE UPDATES

Royal Caribbean 

CocoCay Closure & Hurricane Dorian Update
August 28, 2019 at 06:00 PM EST

We've been closely monitoring Hurricane Dorian, as it enters the Caribbean. Based on current projections of the hurricane’s path, we decided to close CocoCay on Wednesday, August 28th, 2019, and it will reopen on Wednesday, September 4th, 2019. Our CocoCay Team is made up of over 400 people, and the majority are locals. So, it’s important that they evacuate to care for their families and secure their homes, as soon as possible. We evaluated all options, and this is the best decision, as there is no room for error when it comes to the safety and security of our guests, crew, and employees. This is our top priority.

As a result of the CocoCay closure, guests that pre-purchased Royal Caribbean International shore excursions for CocoCay will receive a refund to their onboard expense account in the form of a credit. If guests’ onboard spend does not reach this amount, the remaining balance will be refunded to their credit card on file.

The following sailings are impacted:

Navigator 8/26/19 Adjusted Sailing
We’ve replaced our visit to CocoCay with Nassau, Bahamas.

Navigator 8/30/19 Adjusted Sailing
We’ve replaced our visit to CocoCay with a day at sea.

Mariner 8/26/19 Adjusted Sailing
We’ve replaced our visit to CocoCay with Nassau, Bahamas.

Mariner 8/30/19 Adjusted Sailing
We’ve replaced our visit to CocoCay with a day at sea.

Empress 8/24/19 Adjusted Sailing
We’ll sail to Cozumel, Mexico, as planned, but now, we’ll stay there overnight. We’ll depart Cozumel on Friday, August 30th, 2019, at 5 PM and then enjoy a sea day before making our way back to Miami.

Symphony 8/24/19 Adjusted Sailing
We’ve replaced our visit to CocoCay with Nassau, Bahamas.

HARMONY 9/1/19 & HARMONY 8/25/19

Currently, the two main weather models used for prediction (American & European) have the hurricane going different ways. So, we’re going to wait a bit more to evaluate the new data, which we’ll receive this afternoon. Then, we’ll confirm alternate ports and share your final itinerary changes with you by 3 PM on Thursday, August 29th, or sooner.

SYMPHONY 8/31/19
While this itinerary was never sailing to CocoCay, it may be impacted by Hurricane Dorian, as we want to steer clear of any adverse weather.

We are sorry for this last-minute change and thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this unusual and unfortunate circumstance.
