Hurricane Update

 

Updated October 12, 2010 at 10:00 AM EST

At Norwegian Cruise Line, the safety and security of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance. Therefore, the company is closely monitoring the path of Hurricane Paula.

Currently, all of our ships are sailing as scheduled. Norwegian Pearl will call on Roatán, Honduras today as planned.

Should there be any updates they will be immediately posted on www.ncl.com.

We will continue to closely monitor the weather conditions and will update this information and notify our guests if there are any additional itinerary changes because of the storms’ projected paths.

No, don't worry...I'm plenty panicked.

The good news is that as of the latest forecast run (11 pm EST 10/12/10) this storm is forecasted to be a depression over central cuba on Saturday. Other than clouds and a bit of rain, both the Sun and Epic should not experience any problems heading out to the western carribean.

This is great news. I've been watching the forecasts and the hurricane tracking models very closely for the last 24 hours. The changes are both frequent and nerve wracking. Here's hoping for the best!

No, not true

It will go over cuba and turn into a tropical depression but no plans for Florida (yet).

In any event, a tropical depression in Cuba is no reason to cancel cruises to Mexico or western carribean ;)

How do you know that it will not turn northwest towards Florida. There are many different projected paths. It could even go in between Florida and Cuba. I wouldn't be so sure about the projected path. Even with a tropical depression in the area, the ocean could be extremely rough.

hi all, they might have to cancel the ports if the docks in mexico are not usable and have to be repaired. happen a few years ago!

Don't forget that the Pearl is in the Western Carib this week, and essentially has to follow the storm home to Miami. Any storm deviations could impact the Pearl's arrival in Miami on Sunday morning. Which would stink for me since I'm supposed to board that day!

Big cold front coming down from the north is keeping it south of FL. No worries for FL with this one.
