Narrative:
Enroute to mmun at FL380; I was pilot flying and captain; pilot not flying. Both heard loud pop and immediately noticed R1 cockpit window had cracked. We put on O2 masks immediately as we assessed the situation. Captain took control of aircraft and I got the QRH out. We accomplished window damage checklist. After contacting maintenance and dispatch we were told to divert. Dispatch provided us new weather and fuel burn and was given new clearance to our diversion airport. We had to burn off 11;000 pounds of fuel to land at max landing weight. We landed uneventfully.
