Tif1171 Posted May 26, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I was wondering, with the new forecast of a possible hurricane hitting the Bahamas in the next 5 days, how that may affect my Western Caribbean cruise on the Allure out of Fort Lauderdale leaving Sunday 5/29?

There really is no way of knowing until the day draws closer. RCI will avoid any dangerous weather and so your cruise may be impacted. In my books, losing Nassau (I assume that's one of your stops) is not a big deal. They may substitute another stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul65 Posted May 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I wouldn't worry too much about it - just keep an eye on the forecasts. Right now, it's just a low pressure system that is predicted to maybe turn into a tropical depression. It's a long was from hurricane status. But if that forecast changes, there is, of course, the possibility that your itinerary could be modified to avoid the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tif1171 Posted May 26, 2016 Author #5 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thank you. I will keep an eye on the itinerary changes pages, the forecast, and be positive and flexible. I'm hoping my flight down the east coast from New England will be ok on Saturday as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryano Posted May 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Its weather and can change by the minute but I really doubt you will be affected at all. You are sailing out of FLL and arent going anywhere near the Bahamas :) You will be well south of where the storm is brewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzeluver Posted May 26, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 26, 2016 At this point they think it will not strengthen past a tropical depression. I would not be overly concerned. We are leaving Monday and I'm sure all will be well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyitsmema Posted May 26, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Keep an eye on this site. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ I wouldn't be overly concerned about your cruise, especially since you are going western. The ship is on the eastern route this week but that shouldn't be a major problem either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted May 27, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) The current estimate of affected areas is Georgia and north. It would have to change directions a lot to go SW toward FLL and the Bahamas. Now if you were sailing out of New Jersey, I would be concerned. It is far enough out it shouldn't impact your flight, either. You will likely get a bumpy ride the first night of the cruise but this has nothing to do with a storm - ship will be in the Gulf Stream.

The price you pay when booking a cruise during the summer months and hurricane season. You are never guaranteed a port of call, so you might not get to stop in the Bahamas if the weather is a problem...but the cruise line is very capable of avoiding storms at sea...so there is always a possibility of having a cruise to nowhere and all sea days.

cb at sea Posted May 27, 2016 #12 Share Posted May 27, 2016 The "experts" make predictions EVERY year....they are seldom correct on the number of storms, or where they might hit, if anywhere! Assuming there are no storms in your area during your sailing, your weather will not be affected in the slightest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hurricane as per the weather channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
