Royal Caribbean’s Newest Ship Forced to Make Last-Minute Port Cancellation
Passengers aboard Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas were informed just hours before arrival that their scheduled stop in Naples, Italy, on July 28, 2026, was canceled. The ship, currently on an 8-night sailing from Rome to Barcelona, turned away from Naples after reports of rough waters and potential docking hazards. Guests expressed frustration, especially those who had booked expensive tours, as Royal Caribbean typically refunds only those excursions booked directly through them. While the ship will not dock in Naples, passengers will instead spend the day in Provence, France, with future visits to Naples still scheduled for August.
💡 What This Means For You
Passengers on Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas faced a last-minute cancellation of their Naples port call due to weather conditions, impacting planned excursions.
