Instead, the ship was rerouted to PortMiami. It remained in the Gulf as of Monday morning.

The Port of Galveston has been closed since Friday, forcing Royal Caribbean to cancel Sunday's cruise.

Royal Caribbean said it anticipates that the Liberty of the Seas will be able to return to Galveston by this Friday, conditions permitting.

"We are doing all we can to help guests adjust their travel arrangements and appreciate their patience as we work through this," the Miami-based cruise line said in a statement.
