Royal Caribbean Cancels Cruise to Use Cruise Ship for Humanitarian Efforts

Royal Caribbean has canceled the September 15 sailing on Majesty of the Seas so the ship can be used for humanitarian efforts in areas of the Caribbean that are in urgent need after Hurricane Irma.

In addition to Majesty of the Seas, the cruise line has announced that Adventure of the Seas will also aid in bringing relief to the Caribbean islands.  Royal Caribbean also has two cruise ships on standby to assist Key West, Tampa and other locations if they need assistance.

Royal Caribbean released the following statement regarding their use of cruise ships in the humanitarian efforts:
