ORLANDO, Fla. - Royal Caribbean's Vision of the Seas docked unexpectedly in Port Canaveral, Florida, due to Hurricane Erin. Passengers were informed of the change only two or three days prior to the stop. The original itinerary included a visit to Bermuda, which was canceled.
According to reports and a statement from Royal Caribbean RCL, the passenger did not fall through the hole, but was nevertheless injured when a piece of acrylic glass broke off from the slide. Icon of the Seas, which can hold up to 7,600 passengers plus crew, was dubbed the largest cruise ship in the world when it launched in 2024.
Royal Caribbean has named a new 'godmother' for its 'Star of the Seas' cruise ship. The announcement comes after Diana Ross unexpectedly pulled out of her appearance.
