Hmm, Morpheus, i live in south Florida and have never booked a cruise during an impending hurricane, although i have been on a cruise in stormy weather. I am one of those who board up, remove all potential missiles from the yard, fill the bathtub with water, get a lot of drinking water, beenieweenies and hunker down. In the future, as i am now in my dotage, I will have to consider the other evacuation option.
