         Cruise Ship Damaged By Wind in Atlantic; No Injuries Reported

   by Associated Press

   A Royal Caribbean cruise ship ran into high winds and rough seas in the
   Atlantic Ocean, forcing passengers to stay in their cabins, but no
   injuries were reported.

   Royal Caribbean said in a statement Monday that the ship Anthem of the
   Seas was damaged in some public areas and guest staterooms. Royal
   Caribbean didn't describe the damages but says the ship's safe to be at
   sea. The statement doesn't say where or when the ship encountered the
   bad weather.

   The ship was headed to Port Canaveral, Florida. Royal Caribbean
   spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez says in an email that a noon arrival had
   been planned, but the weather caused a delay. She says she doesn't have
   an updated arrival time.

   According to Royal Caribbean's website, the ship departed from Cape
   Liberty, New Jersey.
