Nanookz Posted January 22, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2016 We are in that boat. We are in the ballpoint area. Had a flight for Saturday to San juan for a cruise on Sunday. Now we have switched to Sunday flight hoping to get out. . Glad the ship doesn't leave until 10pm if that helps at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseBride926 Posted January 22, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Not in that boat but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hopefully everything calms down enough early Saturday that you don't have an issue on Sunday. I know where I am it actually changed from being bad on Saturday to the brunt being overnight Friday into Saturday .

Nanookz Posted January 22, 2016 Author #3 Share Posted January 22, 2016 That is what I hoping for as well. We have insurance but I would rather go. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakersdozen12 Posted January 22, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I live in NH, and while it looks like this storm is going to just spare us, it's typical for us to get hit hard in the wintertime by blizzards and other bad snow storms. This is the one thing that will probably always keep me from scheduling a cruise in the wintertime. While I would love nothing more than to get away from the freezing cold temps to someplace warm, I don't think it's worth the risk of missing a cruise due to not being able to fly to port. In any case, hope that somehow things work out for everyone with a cruise this weekend that lives where the storm is going to hit. I don't wish the stress and anxiety that you guys must be under right now on anyway. Best of luck, sincerely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfromCT Posted January 22, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 22, 2016 With DC expected to get up to 2' of snow, they will be building snowmen on the Lido of the Pride. If she even makes it back to port on Sunday.:eek::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she even makes it back to port on Sunday.:eek::eek: She will get back but unless they delay the cruise for a day or two think she will sail pretty much empty.

beachnsnowbunny Posted January 22, 2016 #7 Share Posted January 22, 2016 She will get back but unless they delay the cruise for a day or two think she will sail pretty much empty. The Pride is on a 11 day journeys cruise to San Juan and the a 10 day back to Baltimore so she won't be back for a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katfncy Posted January 22, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 22, 2016 i'm not in this boat this year but i was last year. We all decided to pay the extra and we flew a day earlier than planned. As we were sitting in BWI airport at the diner all of our phones started to beep with messages from SWA telling us our original flight had been cancelled. Whew glad we made it out the night before. I hope everyone was either able to leave today or tomorrow morning or on Sunday and makes it to their cruise! i don't wish this 2 feet of snow that we are scheduled to get on anyone.

Rare Tapi Posted January 22, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Here in Atlanta, Delta has already announced 120 pre-cancellations in preparation for the storm. Good luck to everybody traveling this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanookz Posted January 22, 2016 Author #13 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Got the email from Southwest this morning that all sw flights from bwi on Saturday and Sunday are cancelled. Better than being at the airport all day and then have it be late and still miss the ship. A couple of days ago we thought about changing the flight to friday but it was too late because all flights were gone.

paul929207 Posted January 22, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Good luck to all with the flights. We have a month until ours, so not worrying yet. Our concern now is an ice storm. We are hoping to keep power. In past storms we have lost power for up to 6 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennmaybe Posted January 22, 2016 #15 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Good luck to all with the flights. We have a month until ours, so not worrying yet. Our concern now is an ice storm. We are hoping to keep power. In past storms we have lost power for up to 6 days. I'm with you! We're up here in Winston-Salem and we're expecting a foot of snow and 1/4" ice! URGH!! We spent the last 2 days preparing for a power outage, so, if it does happen, we're prepared. We always lose power when we have ice and it's not fun. I was just thinking last night about all the cruisers trying to get to their ports today and tomorrow. I feel so badly for everyone who doesn't make it. :( I just want everyone to be safe--we have already had 2 vehicle deaths in our area earlier this week when we got snow, so it's nothing to mess around with.

momoftwinteens Posted January 22, 2016 #16 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Winter weather in the Northeast is precisely why we are taking the AMTRAK down to NYC in March, instead of driving or flying. If a storm hits then and airports get shut down, I am relatively sure the train will get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navybankerteacher Posted January 22, 2016 #19 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The Pride is on a 11 day journeys cruise to San Juan and the a 10 day back to Baltimore so she won't be back for a couple weeks. It's not Carnival Pride --- it's RC Grandeur that is turning around in Baltimore on Sunday. I hope most of those looking forward to sailing her have followed the advice so often posted on these threads to allow for weather delays when planning winter cruises. Amtrak will have to be a popular option this weekend - but even they can be seriously impacted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Yeah, I saw that, as well. I guess all I can do is hope my plans don't go up in smoke. Or snow, as the case may be. I also hope everyone cruising this weekend makes it to their ships safely and in time for sailaway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
