A passenger on a cruise ship en route to Miami was hurt by a wind gust and had to disembark to receive medical attention in Spain, according to a spokesperson for Royal Caribbean.

It happened on Thursday aboard the Explorer of the Seas.

"During an unexpected wind gust near Tenerife, Spain, one of our sailings experienced sudden movement. One of our guests was injured and requires additional medical care, so the ship will make a call in Las Palmas, Spain for a medical disembarkation," a spokesperson said.

More information on the injuries suffered by the passenger were not immediately available.

The ship departed Barcelona, Spain, on Nov. 2 and is supposed to arrive in Miami on Nov. 14, according to vessel trackers.

Royal Caribbean said it was communicating changes about the sailings with guests.
