Alert – Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship Cleared to Sail from Port Canaveral After Experiencing Safety Delay

The U.S. Coast Guard says Royal Caribbean’s Majesty of the Seas has now been cleared to embark from Port

Canaveral after a day-long delay due to a series of safety violations.

The ship was scheduled for a four-night sailing, with stops in CocoCay and Nassau in the Bahamas. It’s unclear

how the schedule will be altered to accommodate the overnight stay in Port Canaveral.

According to Florida Today:

Travel plans for more than 2,000 people were stymied since Monday evening after the

Majesty of the Seas cruise ship failed a Coast Guard safety inspection before its

scheduled departure from Port Canaveral.

The cruise ship was being held from leaving Port Canaveral following a safety inspection

Monday, partly because of the condition of some of its life jackets.

Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Ryan Dickinson, a public affairs specialist, said

Coast Guard inspectors just before 4 p.m. cleared the ship to sail after “they fixed all

their discrepancies.”
