Hi Everyone,
I received this information from Royal Caribbean and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com Tropical Weather Update September 11, 2004 - 10 a.m. Royal Caribbean International is closely monitoring the path and progress of Hurricane Ivan to ensure our guests enjoy safe and comfortable cruises and to make certain our ships steer clear of the storm. The company also continues to monitor its operations resulting from Hurricane Frances. The safety and comfort of our guests are always the foremost concern of Royal Caribbean International. Due to damage caused by Hurricane Frances, Royal Caribbean International is currently unable to bring its ships to Freeport, Bahamas; and Coco Cay, Bahamas, Royal Caribbean's private island. Also, Royal Caribbean International's Mariner of the Seas is currently unable to sail into Port Canaveral, Florida. In the case of Port Canaveral, a sand bar, 50 feet wide, was created by Hurricane Frances in the channel leading to the port. This has reduced the depth of the water in that area to approximately 30 feet. Mariner of the Seas, which normally sails from Port Canaveral, is one of the largest cruise ships in the world and requires a minimum water depth of 35 feet to safely sail. As a result, Mariner of the Seas is not currently able to sail from Port Canaveral. Given Hurricane Ivan's location and projected path, we are currently altering the itineraries of several Royal Caribbean International ships. We will update this information three times daily - at 10 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Ships sailing from Port Canaveral Sovereign of the Seas, normally scheduled to depart Port Canaveral yesterday, on a three-night sailing, departed Port Everglades last night. The ship is sailing a modified itinerary, visiting Nassau, Bahamas, from 8 a.m. to midnight today. The ship will spend the day at sea on Sunday and will now return to Port Canaveral on Monday morning, September 13. Royal Caribbean will transport guests from Port Canaveral to the Orlando airport and Port Everglades at the conclusion of this sailing. Sovereign of the Seas will resume its normal Monday and Friday departures from Port Canaveral starting on Monday, September 13. Mariner of the Seas, normally scheduled to depart Port Canaveral Sunday, September 12, on a seven-night sailing, will now make that sailing from the Port of Miami. The ship will depart from the Port of Miami at 5 p.m., local time, Sunday. The ship will sail its normal itinerary and return to the Port of Miami on Sunday morning, September 19. Royal Caribbean will transport guests from Port Canaveral and the Orlando airport to the Port of Miami for this sailing. Guests are requested to arrive at Port Canaveral or the Orlando airport no later than 12:30 p.m. on Sunday. The company also will return guests to those locations at the conclusion of this sailing. Due to Hurricane Ivan, port calls are subject to change. Ships sailing from Port Everglades Enchantment of the Seas will not make its port call in Cozumel, Mexico, today. Instead, the ship will make a port call in Labadee, Hispanola, today. Ships sailing from the Port of Baltimore Grandeur of the Seas will not make its port call in Grand Bahama Island, Bahamas, today. Instead, the ship will spend the day at sea today. Ships sailing from the Port of Miami Majesty of the Seas will not make its port call in Coco Cay, Bahamas, today. Instead, the ship will make a port call at Nassau, Bahamas, today. The ship will spend the day at sea on Sunday. At this time, no other Royal Caribbean International ships are being impacted by tropical weather. We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and update this information at 3 p.m. today. |

The following is an update of Princess' sailings in the region. Caribbean Princess Voyage B437 Caribbean Princess is currently sailing on a shortened, 5-day itinerary, which departed Monday, September 6 from Fort Lauderdale. The ship is currently headed for Fort Lauderdale and is on schedule for its turn-around on Saturday, September 11. Caribbean Princess Voyage B438 In order to stay clear of Hurricane Ivan, Caribbean Princess' next sailing, departing September 11, has been changed to an Eastern Caribbean itinerary from the original Western Caribbean route. The new itinerary is: Port Date Arrival Departure Port Everglades Sat 11 Sep 5 pm At Sea Sun 12 Sep At Sea Mon 13 Sep St. Thomas Tue 14 Sep 7 am 6 pm St. Maarten Wed 15 Sep 7 am 5 pm At Sea Thurs 16 Sep Nassau Fri 17 Sep 12:30 pm 6:30 pm Port Everglades Sat 18 Sep 7 am Golden Princess Voyage 5437 Golden Princess is currently sailing on her revised Southern Caribbean itinerary, and today is in Antigua and will call in St. Thomas tomorrow, September 11. The ship's routing is anticipated to avoid the effects of Hurricane Ivan, and the vessel is on schedule to return to San Juan on Sunday, September 12. Golden Princess Voyage 5438 Due to the US Department of State's Travel Warning advising against travel to Grenada in the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan, Golden Princess' sailing departing September 12 has been modified to replace the scheduled port call in Grenada with a call at Dominica. The revised itinerary is: Port Date Arrival Departure San Juan Sun 12 Sep 11 pm St. Thomas Mon 13 Sep 7 am 6 pm St. Kitts Tue 14 Sep 7 am 6 pm Dominica Wed 15 Sep 7 am 3 pm Isla Margarita Thurs 16 Sep 7:30 1 pm Aruba Fri 17 Sep 8 am 5 pm At Sea Sat 18 Sep San Juan Sun 19 Sep 6 am We will continue to post any updates to this information on our web site, www.princess.com.
