Hurricane Irma Watch

[perditax]

I didn't know they could do that.

 

 

They can't, they just wouldn't admit it until people had already gotten themselves stranded in Houston trying to get to a port that had been closed for a couple of days, at RC's insistence they would sail as planned.

 

(I'm supposed to sail RC out of Orlando on the 17th AND Irma is currently aimed at my state for around the time I would be leaving town for the trip, so I'm a little anxious. And yes, I have trip insurance.)

That's my biggest concern. I'm leaving out of Ft Lauderdale on Sept 10th. I just want to make sure we get out of port. If irma hugs the coast, will we be able to go out?

Going on Disney dream 9/4-9/8 to Bahamas's really wishing they change to Jamaica or somewhere else

My concern as well..but logic is why would it return to port of weather is bad

I hope all those that left this weekend from Florida will be able to get back on schedule.

The latest GFS model seems to have Irma coming up the east coast of Florida. It's starting to remind me a lot of Hurricane Floyd if anyone can recall almost devastated the central east coast(Canaveral). If the GFS is correct, it will ride the coast and plow into NC.

Good luck to you, I think we are escaping Florida just in time.

We agree, but wish it was a permanent change. Unfortunately it's our understanding as part of the lease agreement for Castaway Cay a stop in the Bahamas is required. Nassau was not one of our favorite stops.

I think it's headed North

I'm going to stockpile liquor.

 

Plus we board Oasis for 3 weeks, 2 days after we get off. 😁

First cruise ever and Ms Irma is making me nervous!!! Will Carnival call/email if the cruise is cancelled or do they make that decision last minute? I fly to Orlando 9/9 leaving on 9/10 Liberty to Bahamas, plus excursions are paid. Any help with what to do please share!! Ty.

Welcome to Cruise Critic.

 

Best to ask this on the dedicated Carnival forum here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=215

The way things are looking you may have more issues with boarding OA than you will departing MJ.

Welcome to Cruise Critic, Sooz77, and welcome to cruising! Hope you enjoy it.

Thank you!! Can't wait!!!:)

My worst case scenario is we fly down on the 9th and then last minute Royal cancels our Sept 10th cruise (similar to how they handled Liberty), then we are stuck in a potential disaster zone. I'd much rather deal with a cancelled cruise then risk the safety of my fiancee and me.

We are also on that cruise and are flying down on the 9th. I wish I knew what to do.

[Sooz77]

We are on the Allure 9/10 as well, flying in on 9/9..this week rccl made a decision only 1 day before in changing itinerary for the 9/3 sailing...I would be fine if it were only that. What happens if we fly in and now Allure can't return to port and we are stuck in a hurricane..what a mess..

We are also on that cruise (my first cruise) and I'm so excited to go but not sure if it will even happen. I'm thinking we should fly in on the 8th now.

[dandkcruise]

We are out in the Allure on the 10th as well. I'll be in Florida for work, but my wife, daughter, and mother in law fly in Sunday morning. Probably going to change that to Saturday. I lived in South Florida for 12 years and most of these turn north, but you never know. Only concern now is getting the Allure back to port on the 10th for our departure.

[barbarossa_hoosier]

Boarding Enchantment of the Seas in a couple hours. It looks like we will be in the clear (Irma should still be east of Cuba by the time we disembark Friday morning), other than our planned overnight in Miami. Saturday morning flight out is starting to look a bit iffy...

[sandebeach]

Watching the updated models this AM and here in South Florida not happy with the latest models. But too early to decide, if we have to evacuate, where in Florida we would go.
