@mcmomny safe travels 🙏🏻

As of 8pm advisory, it looks like direct hit on port canaveral as cat 1 so let see how it turns out the port. If you want to get glimpse of the port conditions the app "Windy" lets you see certain webcams around port canaveral 

@TheCenterOfTheLabyrinth sorry meant to say that brightline has been more communicative the  cruise lines on updates 

@TheCenterOfTheLabyrinth Brightline is suspended until Friday to Orlando, not sure FLL. Check out their website, they have been communicate about then cruises. Uber should be working FLL. I am currently in miami and everything is fine. they may delay or cancel flights due to TS winds

@mcmomny That is a great idea. Just take a plane from Nassau back to NY. Port Canaveral and Airport may be open but does not mean it won't be hell getting to the airport. 

@TheCenterOfTheLabyrinth Yup they can do pretty much whatever they want. You can board and pretty much not get off any port and come back to disembark when they say. Yes, I think there should be a reform about cruise industry policies when there is a named storm.

Just saw the update. I dont know how they expect people to fly in or stay Wednesday during a hurricane to board the next day nor do I know how they are going to arrive to port on Thursday when there will still be tropical storm winds 

@TheCenterOfTheLabyrinthI am currently trying to get a cruise credit for the cruise I did not board. I did not board because I fear my safety and that of my family and not personal reasons and I think that should be sufficient enough. However, if they do cancel a cruise, they do automatically refund all money. But most like they won't cancel. What they would do is "delay" and shorten your cruise. So if you were scheduled to leave Thursday, they may tell you new date for embarkation is Friday or Saturday and same return date. Otherwords, shorten your trip and  receive no compensation. They MAY depending on ship and cruise line offer on board credit of like $50 if that  

@cherryharley this is tampa port hotline as well so you can find out port information and open or not. +1-813-905-7678

@cherryharley Even if they can get to the port, the port has to be open. Workers have to be there to operate the port and the port must be "ok" in regards to damage (the cruise has to be be able dock) 

You are going to have to keep contacting Carnival and see your options and if they maybe can give you a cruise credit for a future cruise

@Nestsimar I am really disappointment at MSC on the communication. I believe they should have sent an email to everyone with at least saying they are monitoring and no change at this time. Since Saturday, I predicted that MSC Seashore was not going to be able to return on Thursday and what concern the most was that Port Canaveral floods and if a storm surge occurs most of people cars are going to be total loss. So that being said, I decided not to go. Plus, I was afraid with a 5 year old that motion sickness may take place because even if they hid around bahama islands you will still feel something come Wednesday and Thursday. How was the ride down to Ocean Cay since you guys left with storm conditions?

Based on this morning update on the hurricane, you may still be able to board later in the day Friday (if not Saturday) from Port of Miami. We are not in the cone. BUT, I feel like there should be a reform from cruise industry to allow cancel or reschedule at no extra change when your embarkation or disembarkation is in cone of uncertainty like they do with flights.. 

@mcmomny We were suppose to leave with you and decided last minute not to board. I knew we were going to be ok but was concerned with the weather and rockiness of the boat and nausea (I have a 5 year old son). Just wondering how the ocean has been? I know there was some rain and storms going down. I called 3x times to MSC yesterday and they told no changes to plans and I was really, how are you suppose to dock on Thursday when Hurricane will still be passing?? The lack of communication from MSC really put me off especially since Royal, Virgin and Carnival had all emailed passengers with changes or at the very least communicative about the situation.
