CruiseCritic.com reports that Royal Caribbean confirmed that 13 passengers on the "Serenade of the Seas" (pictured) were involved in an accident last Friday during a ship-sponsored shore excursion in St. Thomas. Their open-air "safari cab" went down an embankment and struck a parked vehicle. Twelve of the 13 passengers continued on the cruise, while the last passenger (who suffered a broken hip) remained in St. Thomas. The line is paying the passengers' medical expenses and will offer them additional compensation.

Royal Caribbean rolled out its annual "Travel Agent Appreciation Month" last Friday. Through the entire month of April, the line will offer new selling tools such as Royal Incentive Rewards gift certificates for consumers. It's also introducing a new "Royal Advantage" module in its University of Wow! online training program for agents, focused on new sales opportunities among its various ships.
Royal Caribbean shifted three vessels to ports in the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend for new routes through next April. The "Mariner of the Seas" (pictured) will operate weeklong western Caribbean voyages from Galveston (from $549 ppdo) to Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Falmouth. The "Voyager of the Seas" will be based in New Orleans (the largest cruise ship ever homeported there) to run a similar seven-night western Caribbean route (from $499 ppdo). Finally, the "Jewel of the Seas" will offer four- and five-night western Caribbean sailings to Cozumel and Costa Maya (from $329 ppdo).
