Hurricane Expert Posted August 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hopefully some good news for those following this system. Models have reverted to the scenario of a few days ago of a farther east track. If correct, this system will move past the eastern Bahamas tomorrow or tomorrow night, then out to sea. Thundershowers not associated with this system may last after the storm moves away. Christobal may move in the vicinity of Bermuda around Tuesday night, so that is something to be watched.

Hurricane Expert Posted August 24, 2014 Author #7 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Actually it will be passing Bermuda Thursday night - not Tuesday...sorry! It's too early to tell if there will be any significant weather there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted August 24, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Probably not going to be the best weather conditions for those leaving out of Charleston or Jacksonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seesalt Posted August 24, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Actually it will be passing Bermuda Thursday night - not Tuesday...sorry! It's too early to tell if there will be any significant weather there. This article posted today, cruise itinerary changes due to Christobal http://http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=5959 My family is on the Oasis of the Seas, left Ft Lauderdale 8/23 - anyone have any updates if they have family on the Oasis? I see on some "cruise tracking sites" the Oasis is at sea, destination 8/26 St. Thomas, first stop. I do not know if the sites online are reliable or not. If anyone can suggest a site, that is real time, or that updates, I would greatly appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted August 24, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) http://www.marinetraffic.com BUT once a ship is out to sea they are out of range, therefore the tracking will be out of date. I don't believe there are any real time trackers. There is a CC member who has immense knowledge in this. Hopefully he can chime in I did a search for Oasis of the Seas bridge cam, but it seems that they only have cameras on other parts of the ship and not the bridge.

meatball_nyc Posted August 24, 2014 #13 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Yup that's a good one as well. You're welcome! I wouldn't worry too much. The captain will keep everyone safe as can be.

Safe Sailing! ~Robin Every Day at Sea is a Great Day Safety, yes, my main concern. It was though, a Wedding was scheduled upon the ship, once Ported Bahamas. As I've read, Nassau/Bahamas is no longer a stop, due to the weather. No stop, No Wedding. Yes, Hurricane Season, a risk, and so it happened. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted August 24, 2014 #15 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Oh. So sorry to hear about the wedding!! Maybe things will change again. Good luck. I hope things work out. Well wishes to all. ~Robin Every Day at Sea is a Great Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seesalt Posted August 24, 2014 #16 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I agree " as long as all travelers/persons residents of effected areas are safe" Capt's doing their best -is what matters. the Wedding License is of valid " ceremony on ship" (only) port of Bahamas (only)- no other options / Capt was to officiate, It's pretty doubtful, at this point,... it was scheduled, date & time, package, paid for upfront, via the contract, it they are not ported on the scheduled event (due to,out of the control, weather, etc ) it's a no go.

Hurricane Expert Posted August 25, 2014 Author #18 Share Posted August 25, 2014 A badly sheared Christobal is slowly pulling away from the Bahamas. The SE Bahamas are still experiencing heavy rain. The rest of the Bahamas nice weather. Christobal is now expected to move a little faster and past west of Bermuda Wednesday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypiano Posted August 25, 2014 #19 Share Posted August 25, 2014 Norwegian Dawn will depart Bermuda at 6 am tomorrow, Tuesday, August 26. If conditions prevent Norwegian Gem from anchoring at Great Stirrup Cay, tomorrow, Tuesday, August 26, the ship will proceed to Nassau and stay overnight through 6 pm on Wednesday. Norwegian Breakaway will modify her Bermuda itinerary and sail south to arrive in Port Canaveral, Florida on Wednesday, August 27 and will call in Nassau on Thursday, August 28.
