Royal Caribbean has changed the itinerary of the upcoming cruise of the Navigator of the Seas due to the impact from Hurricane Polo. Sailing from Los Angeles the Voyager-class vessel is scheduled to offer a seven-night cruise to the Mexican Riviera starting on 25 September 2026. According to a statement sent to guests planned visits to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada will be dropped due to adverse sailing conditions. The Navigator of the Seas will also drop its planned visit to Cabo San Lucas replacing it with a new stop in Puerto Vallarta.

The vessel will spend the full day docked at the destination arriving at 8:00 AM and departing at 6:00 PM. A planned visit to Mazatlán will be moved to Monday 28 September 2026 while the remainder of the itinerary which includes three sea days will be operated as scheduled. Royal Caribbean stated that any pre-paid shore excursions booked through the company for Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada will be refunded to guests as onboard credits.

After operating year-round on the West Coast for five years the Navigator of the Seas is currently wrapping up its deployment in the region. In early October the 2003-built ship is scheduled to embark on a repositioning voyage to Singapore ahead of a winter season in Southeast Asia.
