Welcome to this week's round-up of all the Royal Caribbean news and happenings. Hope you are staying warm and are ready to cozy up to some great Royal Caribbean fun.
Grandeur of the Seas had to go in for immediate repairs to fix an issue with her rudder earlier this week.
During a sailing, Royal Caribbean notified guests that Grandeur of the Seas was experiencing a technical issue which limits the operation of one of the two rudders used to steer the ship. As a result, the ship would be delayed in returning to Baltimore by two days.
The repairs took place on January 11, with the ship returning to Baltimore on January 13. This caused the current sailing to be extended by two days and the next sailing to be shortened by two days.
