| Freedom cancels

ROYAL Caribbean has cancelled multiple sailings on Freedom of the Seas due to the ship’s redeployment, with thousands on board at least 18 cruises thought to be affected, according to the unofficial Royal Caribbean Blog.

Passengers are being invited to rebook on a certain number of other sailings, with the original price they paid to be protected, or if the replacement cruise they choose is cheaper, the price will be lowered.

Those who cancel are being offered a full refund on any portion of the fare paid.

Royal Caribbean has not announced where Freedom is being repositioned to.
