Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas Shortens Calls in Two Ports

Royal Caribbean International’s 5,400-passenger Allure of the Seas is shortening its stay in two Eastern Caribbean ports as because of a problem reaching its top speed. The 225,282-ton vessel now will call on Nassau from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. (instead of 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and on St. Thomas from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (instead of 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.) No change was made to the Western Caribbean itinerary.

Royal Caribbean said the all equipment is fully operational and that there is no impact on the maneuverability of the ship or on passenger safety. “We are currently exploring various options that would fix the problem,” the company said. “The plan is to get Allure back up to top speed.”
