This led to an announcement from Royal Caribbean, informing guests onboard that the LNG-powered ship would need maintenance. Consequently, the company cancelled the subsequent sailings scheduled for September 28, 2024, and the ship was redirected to the Grand Bahama Shipyard in Freeport for repairs, where it remained for nearly a week.<\/p>\n<p>Royal Caribbean later confirmed to the affected passengers that repairs were completed by Friday, stating: \u201cThe ship is ready, our crew missed our guests, and we are looking forward to resuming our normal itineraries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the first of the Icon class, the 250,800-ton Icon of the Seas was built at Meyer Turku shipyard in Finland and entered service earlier in 2024. Three additional Icon-class ships are currently on order, with the Star of the Seas set to debut at Port Canaveral in August 2025. Additionally, Royal Caribbean\u2019s fleet expansion includes a fourth Oasis-class ship, further enhancing its presence in the cruise market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royal Caribbean International\u2019s Icon of the Seas returned to revenue service on October 5, 2024, following unexpected repairs in the Bahamas.
