Explorer of the Seas was delayed on her repositioning voyage from Europe to Miami when a medical emergency saw her diverted to Las Palmas to disembark a passenger, who had been injured when the ship hit bad weather. Due to arrive in Miami on 14 November 2024, the ship actually arrived three days later.
Another changed itinerary on a repositioning voyage to Florida was that of Voyager of the Seas, which sailed from Barcelona a day late due to an over-running drydocking. The 16-night crossing to Port Canaveral dropped the call at Valencia in order to arrive on time.
Meanwhile, Anthem of the Seas arrived in Singapore on 21 November 2024 for her first season based at that port. She will mainly operate short cruises calling at Phuket and Penang, but there will be some longer cruises to ports in Vietnam and Bali.
