Royal Caribbean Offers Guests Incentives to Change Bahamas Cruise Plans
Ahead of the September 4, 2026 sailing of Utopia of the Seas, Royal Caribbean sent an email to guests offering incentives to change their travel plans. Guests can switch to one of three alternate sailings in exchange for a full refund of their cruise fare and a free upgrade to an Ocean View Balcony stateroom. The alternate sailings are scheduled for September 11, September 18, and October 2, 2026, all departing from Port Canaveral. All three cruises are 3-night Bahamas itineraries, visiting Nassau and Perfect Day CocoCay. The full email was not shared publicly, so it is unclear what other alternatives Royal Caribbean may have offered passengers.
