Several cruise ships have been forced to alter their itineraries amid civil unrest in Puerto Rico, it was reported.

“Due to demonstrations in Old San Juan, we felt it best to not take our guests there today. I’m sorry for the disappointment,” the Royal Caribbean told a person on Twitter on Tuesday, July 16 after the customer said the ship was rerouted from Cuba to Puerto Rico and the British Virgin Islands.
