Norwegian Cruise Line said it has canceled port calls to Roatan, Honduras this week following the death of a NCL crew member from the Norwegian Pearl during a robbery attempt on April 6.
"In an abundance of caution for our guests and crew, we have canceled calls to Roatan this week for Norwegian Dawn and Norwegian Jewel," the line said on its Facebook page, adding that a suspect is in local police custody.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of the crew member."
The Norwegian Pearl was the only ship in port on Sunday, the day of the attack.
Other cruise ships due in Roatan this week include the Caribbean Princess, Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the Seas and Carnival ships Liberty, Legend and Conquest.
Royal Caribbean spokeswomen Cynthia Martinez said: "We are working closely with the Honduran government to improve security."
There are no immediate plans to cancel or change or port calls, she said.
Earlier this year, a family from the Carnival Conquest was robbed at gunpoint in the town during a shore excursion and Carnival now issues information sheets to cruisers offering advice and safety tips.
The US State Department issued a travel warning in December for US visitors.
It noted that resort areas such as Roatan have lower crime levels than the mainland but are "still high by international standards," it said.
