Royal Caribbean has scrapped multiple scheduled U.S. sailings and transferred 77,668 berth-days to Asia while preserving overall capacity unchanged. The liner Navigator of the Seas will navigate year-round from Singapore starting October 2026. These operational adjustments follow a bond deal and rising fuel costs.
In a separate incident, a passenger reported a scuba equipment explosion 50 feet underwater near St. Thomas. The cruise line also implemented four casino changes that will increase costs for guests.
These cancellations and new fees are attracting attention from both travelers and industry analysts. The company is working to balance its global fleet to match changing market demand.
