Weather experts are tracking another potential deadly storm developing in the Atlantic just days after Florida and other parts of the US took a battering from Hurricane Debby.

As a result of forecast bad weather in the eastern Caribbean later this week, Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line have moved two ships away from the region.

Royal’s Icon of the Seas, which set sail from Miami on Saturday, will cruise to the western Caribbean instead of the eastern Caribbean islands, cancelling calls at St Kitts, St Thomas and the US Virgin Islands.

It will visit Cozumel, Roatan in Honduras and Costa Maya instead, before spending a day at Royal’s private island in the Bahamas on 16 August.

NCL’s Breakaway, which left Miami on Sunday, has also moved its itinerary away from the eastern Caribbean to sail instead to the western Caribbean, visiting Roatan, Harvest Caye in Belize, Mexico’s Costa Maya and Cozumel.

The US National Hurricane Center is warning a tropical depression could be forming near the Lesser and Greater Antilles, including the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Cuba and Hispaniola.
