Voyager of the Seas sails from Los Angeles on Friday, November 13, on a 7-night Mexican Riviera sailing, and Royal Caribbean has already changed the plan. A weather system is expected to bring rough seas and up to an inch of rain to Ensenada on Saturday, November 14, so the ship will skip the port and spend the day at sea instead. Royal Caribbean emailed booked guests late Wednesday, November 11, less than two days before embarkation.
The trade is a good one for guests. Cabo San Lucas, originally a single day call on Monday, November 16, becomes an overnight: Voyager now arrives at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, November 15, a day early, and still departs at 6 p.m. Monday. That means an extra afternoon ashore, plus an evening in Cabo, with dinner ashore an option. Cabo is a tender port, so small boats will shuttle guests between ship and shore. The rest of the itinerary is unchanged, with Mazatlan on Tuesday, November 17, and debarkation in Los Angeles on Friday, November 20.
What it means for your sailing: if you are booked on Voyager's November 13 sailing, plan on a sea day Saturday instead of Ensenada, and pack for an overnight in Cabo with an extra afternoon ashore. Check the Royal Caribbean app for the updated tender schedule. If you had a prepaid Ensenada excursion booked through Royal Caribbean, watch for the line's update on it, as the guest email quoted in the report does not mention excursion handling.
