Cruise passengers are facing frustrations over disruptions caused by Hurricane Erin, but are relieved to avoid the storm’s path.
Jennifer Chomiak, a Maryland resident on her first cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Vision of the Seas, experienced a last-minute change. The ship, which left Baltimore on Thursday, had been set to dock in Bermuda but instead rerouted to Port Canaveral, Florida, on Sunday, tripscan top CNN affiliate WBAL reported.
“They decided two days before our cruise to go to Orlando and Port Canaveral, where Cocoa Beach is,” Chomiak told WBAL. “So, that was a little disappointing to hear.”
For some passengers, safety took precedence over plans.
“We’d rather be safe. It is disappointing because we wanted to be in Bermuda, but I see the hurricane is heading right there,” Sherry Teycer told CNN affiliate WESH.
Other cruise lines, such as Princess Cruises, are among the companies rerouting ships to avoid Hurricane Erin’s path as it moves through the Atlantic.
Princess Cruises told CNN about the major changes to four of its routes:
Island Princess remains docked at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in New York, delaying its departure for Bermuda until weather conditions improve.
Enchanted Princess will make a stop at Port Everglades, Florida, where passengers can disembark before the ship continues to New York, arriving two days behind schedule.
Majestic Princess has canceled its scheduled stop in Sydney, Canada, while sailing the Canada and New England region.
Crown Princess is extending its stay in New York as part of its world cruise.
