Miami-based Royal Caribbean International will redeploy two of its ships, Rhapsody of the Seas and Grandeur of the Seas. Both ships, originally set to cruise in Europe next summer, will instead have itineraries in North America.

Royal Caribbean International President Jack Williams said that Europe was still considered a viable market, “However, with the unpredictable nature of the current vacation marketplace, we think it is prudent to reposition some of our ships.”

Princess Cruises, based in London, was changing some routes that would have taken cruises to the Indian Ocean, Middle East and Africa region.

Celebrity Cruises has also moved several ships around. Hubs and I were booked on Mercury for a European cruise next June; I cancelled it on September 10 because of a business conflict. Celebrity announced yesterday that the Mercury won't be sailing in Europe next Summer.
