I Luv Crusin Posted August 8, 2010 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Does anyone know where the Fantasy may go if there is a hurricane warning around the Bahamas?? Just curious since we are sailing at the end of Sept? I'm kind of hoping for Bermuda but where else would they go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASMUNK Posted August 8, 2010 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2010 If there is a Hurricane, the itinerary will be based on where it is at the time of departure, where it is aiming during the cruise, etc....No way anyone can !) predict a hurricane or b) predict where the ship might go with a clear indication of the storm's size, direction, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering if anyone had experience sailing from the East coast and there was a hurricane gunning for the Bahamas, what alternative Carnival would have??? 5 days at sea??

It could head to COZ, but there are more factors in the decision i.e. time, port availability, etc... there is no way anyone can predict or give a sure fire altered itinerary in the event of a looming weather system.

golfadj Posted August 8, 2010 #5 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Wherever the hurricane is not is where the ship will go. There was a case about a year ago where the ship went to Rhode Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cozumel? From Charleston? If they can't get to the Bahamas, how can they get past them and all the way to Cozumel in five days? She's not sailing from NOLA or Mobile any more...EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted August 8, 2010 #7 Share Posted August 8, 2010 It could just as easily be yet another hurricane cruise to nowhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothomeonacruise Posted August 8, 2010 #8 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I've read posts where people say it's all part of the adventure of cruising during hurricane season. They will take care of you in any event. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisinManiac Posted August 8, 2010 #10 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Although it would be nice, I doubt that Bermuda would be a choice because they have very limited ship space. In addition, most ships spend the night, making a berth even more scarce. Good question, though. I've been wondering the same thing. ;) We sail out of Charleston on November 1st. if we cruised to nowhere, or to Bermuda, the weather could be quite chilly. I am keeping an eye on the weather forecast, right up until we leave. Want to make sure I take the appropriate clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXASMUNK Posted August 8, 2010 #11 Share Posted August 8, 2010 A WEE BIT HARSH REPLY! Sorry, your question was so vague and general, the other replies basically said the same thing I did. Again, no Crystal Ball currently available...Promise, in the future, I will keep it handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsywych Posted August 9, 2010 #12 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Bermuda's port fees are also more expensive than the Bahamas. That would be a factor, as well as the lack of space for ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, it WAS a stupid question since I do know that Carnival will go where they can go safely! Maybe we'll end up in Baltimore!:p I really don't care since we'll be away from home.

jessemon Posted August 9, 2010 #15 Share Posted August 9, 2010 This is going to be fun if a hurricane/tropical systen interfers with the Fantasy out of Charleston. Can she go to Bermuda? Yes, as long as there is a berth for her. If not can she go north to the New England states? Yes but, is there enough time to get to Canada to beat the Jones act and get back to Charleston? hmmmmmmm...... This is a real up in the air until they first time it happens..... I say it is a stay tuned on this one......;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
