My ship 1 returns to New York early - storm causes chaos!
TUI Cruises' Mein Schiff 1 had to change its route due to a storm and returned to New York early.
My ship 1 returns to New York early - storm causes chaos!
The cruise ship Mein Schiff 1 from TUI Cruises docked in New York City on October 12, 2025. The ship was originally in operation on the “Florida & Bahamas” route from October 3rd to 13th, 2025. A change to the itinerary was necessary due to a storm. The planned call in Nassau in the Bahamas was canceled, which meant that the ship had to return to New York.
After departing Miami on Thursday evening, Mein Schiff 1 was docked at the port of Freeport on Grand Bahama for regulatory reasons. The return trip to New York City included two days at sea before the ship docked at the Manhattan Cruise Center at Pier 88 today.
Changes in the itinerary
The changes to the route came about, among other things, because the regular berth in Bayonne, New Jersey was occupied by the cruise ship Symphony of the Seas. The current situation could also lead to a port closure, which would mean that the disembarkation of guests and the embarkation of passengers for the following voyage could take place in Manhattan and not in Bayonne as planned.
The original itinerary called for the ship to sail to Bayonne, Norfolk, Port Canaveral and Miami, with a call at Nassau. The new itinerary changes these plans and includes a return to New York City instead of Nassau. Travelers are advised to contact TUI Cruises directly to take into account any further changes.
