The following was released by Royal Caribbean on their website at 3.00pm EST on July 22, 2010

At this time, Royal Caribbean International is closely monitoring the itinerary of Grandeur of the Seas due to Tropical Depression #3. Royal Caribbean will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and will update this information again tomorrow, July 23 at 9:00 a.m. E.S.T.

Grandeur of the Seas is scheduled to depart Fort Lauderdale, Florida, today, July 22. According to the most recent weather forecasts, the ship will be able to depart on time and head south to Key West, Florida. However, U.S Coast Guard has closed the Port of Key West until tropical storm force winds have subsided.

If the Port of Key West has not reopened by early tomorrow morning, Grandeur of the Seas will be unable to make its scheduled port of call there tomorrow.

Should the ship be unable to visit Key West, Grandeur of the Seas will spend the day at sea tomorrow, sailing directly to Cozumel, Mexico, where it will arrive earlier than scheduled on Saturday. No other Royal Caribbean International ship’s itinerary is currently being affected by tropical depression #3.
