Carnival and Royal Caribbean share a weather warning. All cruisers need to pay attention to what their cruise line is saying when a storm hits
Above all else cruise lines will work to protect the safety of their passengers and crew.
During a storm that can mean canceling ports of call, closing off parts of the ship, or even leaving late, coming home early, or staying at sea an extra day.
Cruise lines won’t put their ships into dangerous situations, but they may not be able to fully avoid storms. On Royal Caribbean’s Utopia of the Seas, for example, the outside decks were closed on the evening of August 1 due to rough seas.
