Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas Cancels Alaska Cruise, Leaving Passengers to Arrange Flights Home
Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas canceled its scheduled Alaska cruise after passengers had already embarked in Vancouver. The cruise, originally set to depart on August 30, was delayed until September 1 for maintenance but was ultimately canceled two days later due to incomplete repairs. Passengers were allowed to use the ship's amenities while arranging flights home. Royal Caribbean will provide full refunds, future cruise credits, and reimbursement for eligible flight-change fees to affected guests. The ship resumed service on September 6 for its next seven-night round-trip Alaska cruise.
