The next sailing of Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas has been pushed back three days to Nov. 17. 

During a transatlantic repositioning cruise that departed Barcelona on Nov. 2, the ship encountered an unexpected wind gust on Nov. 7 near Tenerife that caused it to list. A passenger was injured, and a medical disembarkation added days to the cruise.

According to a video posted on YouTube, chairs slid across the ship's Royal Promenade during the incident.

One guest was injured and required additional medical care. The ship did a medical disembarkation in Las Palmas, according to Royal Caribbean. 

The ship has since resumed its path to Miami with plans to arrive on Nov. 17.
