Tropical Cyclone Alfred is expected to make landfall in Brisbane on late Friday or early Saturday, causing several ships from Carnival, Royal Caribbean and others to stay far from the area until the storm passes.

Cruise lines are adjusting operations as Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches Queensland, Australia. Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Luminosa ship will be delayed returning to Brisbane, the cruise line told USA TODAY.

Two cruises have been stranded at sea due to a "once in a generation" tropical storm hitting the coast of Australia this weekend.
