With Hurricane Erin expected to gain strength into a major hurricane this weekend, Royal Caribbean has made the first cruise change due to the storm.

Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, is on track to rapidly intensify over the weekend and hit Category 4 strength next week in the open ocean. The latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center calls for Erin to cruise west for the next few days — staying comfortably north of inhabited islands — before hooking north early next week and avoiding direct landfall in the Bahamas or Florida.

Erin is forecast to become a Category 4 hurricane, threatening Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and U.S. coasts with flooding and surf. This live blog is closed.
