After affecting ships sailing in the Eastern Caribbean over the past few days, Hurricane Ernesto is now altering itineraries in Bermuda and the U.S. East Coast.

According to a statement sent to guests onboard, the Liberty of the Seas is the latest ship to have its scheduled itinerary changed due to the tropical storm.

“Along with our Chief Meteorologist, Craig Setzer, we’ve been monitoring the track of Hurricane Ernesto along our intended path,” Royal Caribbean International said.

Sailing roundtrip from Cape Liberty, the Liberty of the Seas began a nine-night cruise to the Caribbean and Bermuda on Aug. 15.

“In order to stay safe and clear of this hurricane, we will now skip our visit to Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda, and travel west of the storm and south to Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos,” the company continued.

As part of its revised schedule, the Liberty of the Seas is now set to visit Grand Turk twice, with visits planned for both Aug. 18 and Aug. 19.

The Freedom-class vessel is also visiting La Romana and Puerto Plata, in the Dominican Republic, as scheduled.

Before returning to Cape Liberty on Aug. 24, the itinerary includes four days at sea, cruising in the Atlantic Ocean.

“We’re terribly sorry for this last-minute change caused by the weather – your safety is our top priority. Please know, being onboard is one of the safest places because our ship can quickly move out of the way of any inclement weather,” Royal Caribbean added.

According to the company, pre-scheduled shore excursions for Bermuda will be automatically refunded to their original method of payment.

Earlier this week, the Icon of the Seas was also impacted by Hurricane Ernesto’s path in the Eastern Caribbean.

After departing from Miami on Saturday, the LNG-powered ship was diverted to the Western Caribbean to avoid the adverse weather conditions.
