Tropical Depressioin

[norcalal]

Keeping an eye on a disturbance heading directly into our path for the July 8th Splendor. Might have a little motion to the ocean.

Noticed this. We're on the Dream July 16th out of NOLA. Not the best news but hoping the disturbance turns north at some point and the Gulf stays sunny and calm.

Same here, on Glory leaving the 8th. But having lived in La. for many years I know it's too early to worry about. Last I saw the 5 day forecast only showed a moderate likelihood of development, and no real clue where it's going.

Weather is really unpredictable. It may change its course.

We had that luck on dream last year. Instead of Key West and Bahamas, we re-routed to Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Roatan. WooooHooooo. Much better ports.

The five-day pattern shows a potential impact to the eastern side of the Caribbean.

 

 

It would be worth watching. I have seen this pattern go north into the Atlantic, or stay south and enter the Caribbean.

 

The good news: Cruise lines also monitor these and are preparing alternate plans for the cruises so the ships are not impacted by these storms.

Could be lots of itinerary changes

We were sailing on the Conquest during Steven last October. Missed the DR but we had a great wave pool for 5 or 6 days on the Lido deck. Carnival left it open as long as it was safe.

 

Travel safe. Carnival will keep you safe.

When I saw this post, I thought a Tropical Depression was the time between cruises.

Worth watching .... but way too soon to tell.

That's not actually a tropical depression at all. Currently it is listed only as a disturbance. It says there is a 10% chance of cyclone formation in the next 48 hours. There is actually a big difference.

 

Good luck!

[lderochi]

And a 70% chance over 5 days. But no telling where it will go. Hopefully it veers north.

We're going on the Glory leaving from Miami to PR, HMC, St. Thomas and Grand Turk on July 8th (this Saturday!). If this thing turns into a tropical storm or Hurricane ... what will they do? Will the captain just make itinerary changes? I'm nervous 😩 The cruise won't get canceled will it?

Many different answers but you can be assured that the Captain will do the right thing.

Yours is similar to mine. One of my first thoughts was that they would go out to sea to avoid it and do a reverse itinerary. Stay tuned

It appears my link above appears to auto update. Its looking good for the Caribbean..

[deborahjo]

You will be kept safe. Carnival captains are not going to risk lives and ship. They will change itinerary when approved by headquarters. Just enjoy the cruise.

I never worry about the cruise itself. They'll keep you safe because they are pros at doing just that and besides the Captain is on that ship, as well. He likes his life, too. AND...that's a 200,000,000 dollar ship we're on and they like their money.

 

I'm always more worried about my little car parked in a hotel parking lot in Port Canaveral. ;p

[OCruisers]

The big worry is always if the tropical disturbance will be hitting your embarkation port

or will cause problems getting there.

No worries! We were on the Sunshine two years ago and there were 2 hurricanes in our path. The Captain sailed around both and we only had about 5-10 minutes of rain total in 8 days. It was AWESOME & AMAZING! =)
