Sotermarler Posted March 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Just for fun, I'm taking bets on wether my BA cruise in peak hurricane season makes a stop in GSC. I'm betting we don't make it. If we do, I'll do a handstand on the beach and post the photo. I'll be psyched if we make it, but I know there's a good chance we won't make it. What's your bet?

frank212 Posted March 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I've been on 2 cruises with stops to GSC....We lucked out and stoped there both times. The first time it was very rough. So I'm betting on you stopping there. I'll keep on eye out for that handstand photo. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcoy Posted March 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2017 You have a better chance making it on a 10/8 cruise vs 8/10 one. August is a heavier month for hurricanes compared to October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neblinosa Posted March 27, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 27, 2017 What do they do if they don't make it...just spend another day at sea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatball_nyc Posted March 27, 2017 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2017 We didn't make it on our November 4th trip. Hope you do :) I don't bet so good luck to you. Have a great cruise getting into Nassau a day early. Every Day at Sea is a Good Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClevelandCruisin Posted March 27, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2017 You'll still be on vacation... plus it's in the fine print. Can't always count on the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alatraveler1 Posted March 27, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I'll bet you could have offered to bet a one-hand handstand in a pit of hot coals while drinking water and humming showtunes and you wouldn't have to make good on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasinoCruzGirl Posted March 27, 2017 #15 Share Posted March 27, 2017 If I was on your cruise I would bet a million dollars it would not make it. I'm a jinx lol never made it all 3 times I did that run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a jinx lol never made it all 3 times I did that run Ha ha ha! Me too! That's why I bet I would do the handstand, because I don't want to do it....so now I've pretty much guaranteed I'm going to have to do it. I think I reverse psychology'd myself!

Rare BirdTravels Posted April 1, 2017 #20 Share Posted April 1, 2017 What do they do if they don't make it...just spend another day at sea? A non-trivial number of GSC port calls are cancelled yearround due to weather preventing tendering. 10/07. I think that a hurricane will prevent you from sailing south and you will have your beach towel and snorkel gear in Halifax. We have made it to GSC 5 of 5 times at all times of the year.

NowHeather Posted April 2, 2017 #23 Share Posted April 2, 2017 We took a short trip on the Sky and were supposed to be at GSC on 10/4/15... we didn't make it due to hurricane Joaquin. Instead we spent an extra day at sea. They had extra activities planned for us and we didn't care at all that we missed our stop. When we returned home from our trip we learned that the El Faro cargo ship sank in the Bahamas during that storm. The news made us more thankful to have had the fun (and safe) trip that we had. If you don't make it just know that the captain has a good reason and enjoy the ride! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
