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