Cruise Cancellations and Delays Plague Royal Caribbean and Carnival Ships

Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines has cancelled a 7-day cruise on the Radiance of the Seas ship departing from Seward, Alaska, due to mechanical issues with the vessel's propulsion system. Passengers will receive a full refund, and those who booked air travel through the cruise line will have their flights rebooked or receive a credit. Passengers can stay on the ship until September 3 and will receive complementary services. The impact on future sailings is unknown.
