Summary
Royal Caribbean scrapped Serenade of the Seas’ seven-night Alaska sailing after passengers had already spent about two days aboard in Vancouver, where the ship never departed.
Aug. 22 emails had already cut the Aug. 30 trip to five days for added maintenance, but the line later said ongoing technical problems forced a full cancellation.
2,143-guest Serenade passengers were allowed to stay on the docked ship while arranging travel home, and the line offered full refunds, 100% future cruise credits and eligible flight-change reimbursement.
Sept. 6 marked the ship’s return to service on its next seven-day Alaska cruise, after repairs were completed, according to Royal Caribbean.
The cancellation follows other recent issues on Serenade, including July 2025 engine trouble that sent it back to Vancouver and caused missed Alaska stops.
