put me on a ship Posted October 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I don't know, but our stop there this week isn't happening.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paper1122 Posted October 8, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 8, 2016 John said a seaplane was heading there today.we might get an update tomorrow, doubtful that we'll hear anything today. I am assuming our call on the Valor for next week will be canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeleBrat Posted October 8, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) Hey! We're on the 10/13 Valor too. We've been to HMC before, and know that it's an amazing paradise. And, hope that if we skip it we don't end up in Freeport. EDIT--UGH!!! After checking the 10/8 Valor roll call, I see that they are staying in Nassau for 2 days in lieu of going to HMC. Nooooo!

CeleBrat Google Cable Beach in Nassau. You can get there by bus or taxi. Has a great beach, restaurants, hotel and a casino. You can make lemonade out of your lemon.

Has a great beach, restaurants, hotel and a casino.You can make lemonade out of your lemon. Thanks for the suggestion. But we've been to Nassau probably 20 times on various cruises, and have done just about everything they have to offer: various beaches, snorkeling excursions, van tour of island, walking tour of downtown, Straw Market, Atlantis... It's not a thrilling port, and I can't imagine having to spend 2 days there. CeleBrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree it was a great place and I'm sure even better now. Gotta make lemonade out of those lemons. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your choice, is that lemonade glass half full or half empty. How many times do we read on CC that your cruise is what you make it to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water was excellent and locals weren't too pushy. Had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted October 8, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 8, 2016 It could be worse. They could have added Freeport. Extra day at Nassau which leaves a lot to be desired is sure better than Freeport. Guess GT was not available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeofthedogs Posted October 9, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Praying HMC survived. I agree with Cable Beach. Or stay on the ship and relax. Any day on a ship is better than being home or at work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keene state mom Posted October 10, 2016 #18 Share Posted October 10, 2016 it just states that the Conquest that left today will not be going to HMC because of too much damage but it did not say what was damaged or how long for clean up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlayne Posted October 10, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Found this, which doesn't have a lot of info, but it does say that the first expected call post Hurricane Matthew to Half Moon Cay is scheduled for October 15. Damage must be fairly minimal. We are supposed to be there on October 30 and haven't been yet, so we're definitely hoping it's intact and ready for us! http://cruiseradio.net/hurricane-damages-half-moon-cay/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy cruzin Posted October 10, 2016 #20 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) John Heald did a LIVE post to fb this morning. He says HMC had some wind damage - and needs some clean up but that ships will start to call again on HMC beginning with the Valor itinerary this Saturday, the 15th. Here is the link to the video: https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FJohnHeald%2Fvideos%2F1370007649708459%2F& Edited October 10, 2016 by happy cruzin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
