Micah Cooper and her mother LaQuinta Spears left their home in Dallas Friday for Micah's long-awaited high school graduation trip: A cruise on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas.
They arrived in Miami in the afternoon. Their cruise, which had been originally canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19, was meant to set sail Saturday. But as they waited to check into their Airbnb, they received a text message update from Royal Caribbean at 3:04 p.m.
