Waiting to hear from Carnival on Hurricane Irma....

[NSWP]

I wonder if there are any passengers on it.

 

Some of the bridgecams should be interesting. Best wishes and good luck to all those affected.

Hi just read in the RC, D+ and Pinnacle chat forum that RCI has used one of it's ships to evacuate their employees and families from Florida. Great way to step up!

Good job, I suppose they may be at sea for awhile as Jose is following Irma.

Latest tracking of Irma has her hitting Tampa.

 

Just wondering on the impact of Paradise itinerary.

Hopefully once it hits land it will lose strength quickly.

Hope they are in a safe place and can make their next cruise.

Back up to category 4.

 

 

Not sure how Cuba fared.

[MicCanberra]

It is mayhem, at least Jose has veered north and away from the islands that have already been devastated.

[MicCanberra]

It has been downgraded to Cat 2 now so that may be a lot better for the people in Florida.

Thank You for sharing my twitter update :)

Hello from San Francisco.

 

We ended up not doing our cruise to Cuba, as there was a chance that we could miss our cruise to Alaska, as there was a chance we may not get back to Tampa on time.

 

It turned out the ship was only able to dock on Wednesday, so we would have missed our flight and would have had a hard time getting another flight.

 

So we ended up riding out the Hurricane Irma in Tampa and then the day before it was due to hit Tampa, as the Hurricane moved, we ended up doing a run for Orlando so we could get our flight here, when the Airport opened on Tuesday.

What an unplanned adventure you have had. I hope you receive a full refund for your planned Cuba cruise. Enjoy your time in San Francisco. Wishing you smooth seas and good weather for your cruise to Alaska.

We are still waiting to hear from Carnival on the refund.....

[MicCanberra]

Glad you got through it safely, as for Carnival, that may take a while as there are so many affected and communication is not their strong suit.

Looks like a Grand Day in SF to be on the Grand Princess. Heres a shot from from the port and bridge cam . I think that's The World at the nearer dock.

Cheers David, looks good.
