Propulsion Issue Prompts Mid-Sailing Change for Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas
If you're sailing on Allure of the Seas' May 24-30, 2026 western Caribbean cruise, note that Falmouth, Jamaica has been dropped in favor of two Nassau visits. Check for onboard credit tied to any prepaid Falmouth excursions, and visit the shore excursions desk on Deck 6 or the Royal Caribbean app to book activities for your bonus Nassau day, including the new Royal Beach Club Paradise Island. Watch for onboard credit ($100-$200 depending on cabin type) applied to your account before disembarkation on May 30.
A propulsion glitch mid-cruise is the kind of thing that could easily sour a sailing, but Royal Caribbean's fix here is instructive: swap Falmouth for a second Nassau call, keep the sea day, and throw in $100-$200 in onboard credit per cabin. That's a cheap way to blunt guest frustration while steering more traffic to Royal Beach Club Paradise Island, the new outpost that opened there in January 2026 — guests who might have skipped it now have a full extra day to spend money there instead. The irony is that this is one of several recent Allure schedule disruptions, including two 2027 sailings cut a day short and a March 2027 charter cancellation, which makes we wonder how the ship's maintenance schedule is holding up. If I were on this sailing, I'd bank the onboard credit toward the Royal Beach Club and keep an eye on Royal Caribbean's app for any further updates before the May 30 return to Fort Lauderdale.
