Since the collision, Harmony of the Seas has been successfully repaired, and is currently scheduled to continue on its normal sailing itinerary as planned.
The Oasis-class Royal Caribbean ship is currently on a 7-night itinerary in the Western Caribbean. Previously to visiting the port in Jamaica, Harmony of the Seas had visited The Bahamas, and ports such as Nassau, and Royal Caribbean’s private island, Perfect Day at CocoCay.
The incident at Falmouth, Jamaica occurred around 7 a.m. local time on Thursday. After striking a piling on the dock, the ship sustained cosmetic and minor damage.
In a statement from Royal Caribbean, “there were no injuries to guests or crew and only minor cosmetic damage to the ship’s stern. The sailing will continue as scheduled.”
