Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises
continue to closely monitor the path and progress of Hurricane Ike to
ensure our guests enjoy safe and comfortable cruises, and to make
certain our ships steer clear of the storm.
The safety of our guests and crew members is always our foremost
concern.

Azamara are currently not altering the itineraries of any ships. Royal
