Cruise news for October 17, 2026

Oct. 17, 2026 has three stories. Open each link for the named source and the date it was checked. This page only restates those posts.

Vision of the Seas boards in Baltimore on Saturday 17 Oct 2026 for a 5-night cruise that was booked to Bermuda. Cruise Hive, Melissa Mayntz, 17 Oct, prints an email sent late on Friday 16 Oct. The ship sails to Saint John, New Brunswick, instead. That call runs from 6:30 p.m. Monday 19 Oct to 6:30 a.m. Tuesday 20 Oct, and guests cannot get off. It is the only port in the email. Non-refundable onboard credit is $75 for an inside or outside stateroom, $150 for a balcony, and $200 for a suite. A guest after the first two adds $25. Bermuda tours bought through Royal Caribbean refund to the onboard account. The article does not print a fare refund or a Baltimore return clock. No Royal Caribbean newsroom post for the email was found. The late-September Vision cruise that went to the Bahamas is a different sailing.

Brilliant Lady still leaves Los Angeles at 5 p.m. on Saturday 17 Oct 2026 and returns at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday 24 Oct. Virgin's advisory, updated 16 Oct, drops the run south for Hurricane Trudy. San Francisco is Monday 19 Oct, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. San Diego is Wednesday 21 Oct, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Ensenada is Thursday 22 Oct, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The page names Cabo and does not print Mazatlán or Puerto Vallarta. Cruise Hive and VV Insider name those two, with Cabo, as the original calls on 19, 20, and 21 Oct. Pack long pants, long sleeves, and a jacket. Shore Things for the dropped ports refund to the onboard folio. The advisory does not print Sailor Loot or a Future Voyage Credit. The 10 Oct sailing did. The app may still show the old route until the ship sails. National Hurricane Center Advisory 17 at 9:00 a.m. CST on 17 Oct put Trudy about 265 miles west of Acapulco with winds near 90 mph.

Norwegian Bliss, on the 19-night cruise that left Los Angeles on Tuesday 13 Oct and is due in New York on Sunday 1 Nov, skips Acapulco on Saturday 17 Oct. Saturday is a sea day. No replacement port is named. Cruise Hive prints the lost window as 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Cabo San Lucas on 15 Oct already happened. Acapulco tours bought through Norwegian refund to the onboard account. Neither report prints a fare refund. The Travel's table keeps Puerto Quetzal on Monday 19 Oct and the Panama Canal on Saturday 24 Oct. Advisory 12 on Friday morning had Trudy at 120 mph. Advisory 14 that afternoon had it at 85 mph, about 225 miles southwest of Acapulco.

If you board Vision, pack for the ship and match the credit to the cabin. If you sail Brilliant Lady, pack a jacket and watch the folio, not Sailor Loot. If you are on Bliss, treat Saturday as a sea day and check the onboard account for the Acapulco tour.
