Royal Caribbean International said a ship suffered minor damage after it was battered by a strong winter storm.

The 4,180-berth Anthem of the Seas (built 2015) experienced unexpected “extreme wind and sea conditions” a day after leaving New York, the Miami-based cruise line told USA Today.

There were no serious injuries. Royal Caribbean said there was damaged to cabins and public areas that “in no way affect the seaworthiness of the ship”.
