smeyer418 Posted August 11, 2005 #5 Share Posted August 11, 2005 My bet is its going south(in the direction sense-not in the figurative sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffd64 Posted August 11, 2005 #6 Share Posted August 11, 2005 You could pick any one of those answers and roughly 50 percent of the people would be ticked anyway. It is a losing battle :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hve2cruise Posted August 11, 2005 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2005 As long as I'm on board enjoying the ship and not in harm's way, I don't care where we go! Quick question for anyone who knows..........how far is the straw market from the ship in Nassau? Thanks! Happy Sailing!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired not Expired Posted August 11, 2005 #8 Share Posted August 11, 2005 My bet is its going south(in the direction sense-not in the figurative sense) I have a feeling that if they have to go through it or change anything, there will be some on board that will make both true.

LOL but I also can sing "O Canada"...there is no good way on this one. If they cancel and refund the money people will be annoyed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsAmelia Posted August 11, 2005 #14 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I chose to go to Canada or a very very wide path to Florida. Can they do that?? I'll be leaving on Sunday and will be happy to just be on board. Make the best of it! Judy: See you on Sunday or Monday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnCruise05 Posted August 11, 2005 #15 Share Posted August 11, 2005 My only fear is that the captain on our cruise Sunday is the one and only Nikolas Peterstam (sp?).... hopefully he'll stay away from the waves!!!:eek: :eek: :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanW Posted August 11, 2005 #16 Share Posted August 11, 2005 If a hurricane is in the path of the Dawn as it leaves NYC, where would you like to go? If the HURRICANE is in the path, who has the right of way? Usually we say we're in the path OF the hurricane as we prepare to alter course. Riding out the storm on a passenger vessel is foolhardy at best. Leave that to the Navy and USCG. Take her south and west and allow people to disembark if they wish and fly them home. Cheers, Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenie Posted August 12, 2005 #17 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Judy, Amelia, and Dawn Cruise--aren't you lucky! You're going to have a wonderful time, don't worry about the weather. I wish I could be there too on Sunday! You'll be in good hands with Capt. Peterstam, no doubt about that. We had very rough seas coming home on Mother's Day (remember that debacle for thepoor M-Day cruisers!?) and I felt totally safe with him at the helm. Have a great time! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Host Caroline Posted August 12, 2005 #19 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I gotta tell you that the Canada/New England itinerary IMHO only is one of the "hidden gems of cruising"... esp. in summer and September.. Love Bermuda but if I can't go there my choice would not be Nassau over the TON of stuff to do in St John, Boston, Halifax.. not beachy I know but not sloppy seconds IMHO only...

I agree with you and as a person who has done the Canada route instead of Bermuda we had a great time but many of the people on the Cruise were from New England did wanted the other way for a change. Including a whole lot of people from Boston who wound up spending a day in Boston and couldn't get off permanently(a Jones Act violation)--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincella Posted August 12, 2005 #21 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Riding out the storm on a passenger vessel is foolhardy at best. Leave that to the Navy and USCG. Take her south and west and allow people to disembark if they wish and fly them home. I couldn't agree more. I believe that people who voted for that option have never actually been through a hurricane. It's not exactly a thrill ride...even for adrenaline junkies like me! My real answer to this question is that I really don't care if the ship ever leaves the port of embarkation. By the time I take vacation all I want is to not be at my desk (which is where I am now, at 5:25 am. Kill me now...:rolleyes: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongordon Posted August 13, 2005 Author #22 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Canada is not a bad option, but the fog that accompanies the cruise is a bummer. Just curious: Is the fog a usual happening on a cruise to Canada? I have only been on a cruise to Canada once and there was plenty of fog both coming and going in July.

I have only been on a cruise to Canada once and there was plenty of fog both coming and going in July. Don Yes, it is. I went to Canada last july and we also had fog both ways and it was very cold. It was July 4th. Talking to the crew they said it is always like that. Maritime Canada for me no more. When I cruise I want crystal blue water or Alaska. No foggy weather. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongordon Posted August 13, 2005 Author #25 Share Posted August 13, 2005 TITISSA: I think I was on the same cruise to Canada that you were on in 2004. I was on the Victory and it was a bit chilly and it was 4th of July weekend! Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
