Cruise Lines Postpone Departures After U.S. Flight Halt

  • November 15, 2026
Legend of the Seas

Cruise lines postponed the departure of some ships after a national flight halt on Friday led to the cancellation of thousands of flights across the United States.

According to passenger reports on social media, vessels sailing from different U.S. homeports on Saturday adjusted their schedules to accommodate guests arriving later.

Having just started its maiden season in North America, Royal Caribbean’s new Legend of the Seas was one of the ships that operated on a revised schedule.

Starting an eight-night cruise to the Eastern Caribbean, the 5,610-passenger vessel delayed its departure from Fort Lauderdale, extending its final check-in time to 6:15 PM.

Also sailing from Fort Lauderdale, the Star Princess postponed its departure by approximately four hours, leaving Port Everglades at 7:00 PM.

A similar change was carried out for Holland America Line’s Eurodam, which sailed from Fort Lauderdale two hours later at 6:00 PM.

Norwegian Cruise Line also adjusted its schedule, delaying the departure of vessels such as the Norwegian Luna.

According to a statement shared with guests onboard, the ship started its seven-night cruise to the Caribbean four hours later at 8:00 PM.

Other vessels delaying their departures from PortMiami included the Carnival Magic, which sailed for an eight-night cruise to the Caribbean two hours later than scheduled at 5:30 PM.

Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas started a seven-night cruise to the Western Caribbean two and a half hours later at 7:00 PM.

MSC Cruises also postponed the departure of the MSC World America from Miami by two hours to accommodate passengers impacted by flight delays.

In addition to delaying departures for arriving guests, companies stepped up for passengers disembarking this weekend.

Disney Cruise Line offered free Wi-Fi for passengers arriving on Saturday who would like to contact airlines for the latest flight information.
