wolfcathorse Posted September 6, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 6, 2017 so when the cruise is canceled , where are the cruise ship? Just sitting for a week or shorter?:confused: the ship isn't empty, the prior cruisers may still be on...they get an extended vacation if the ship can't make it back to port. If they come back early, disembark passengers, and have canceled the next sailing, they head out to sea. The safest place for a ship is out at sea, not alongside a pier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empress is also cancelled for their next cruise. At least two of those ships will be without passengers, though one post says B2Bers are allowed to stay.

Rare Lionesss Posted September 7, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 7, 2017 The ships will still have crew members on board. So although technically no paying customers the still have workers.

waterbug123 Posted September 7, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Even when they get out to sea. They still could have excessive movement. Yes, but that's generally a much better risk for a ship, than facing the damage that can come from winds and storm surge when docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatonDoolittle Posted September 7, 2017 #16 Share Posted September 7, 2017 The RCCL Meteorologist is posting very informative videos daily on FB. The one from today tells exactly where all the ships are, or are going. Basically, Western, Jamaica, ABCs, or up north (NY). Cuban mountains will block any thing south of it from problems of the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted September 7, 2017 #17 Share Posted September 7, 2017 does your unlimited drink pack and internet still work or must you buy it again for the extended days Good question! Sent from my iPad using Forums The ships like Oasis and Harmony that are giving the passengers an extended cruise are offering the deluxe package and individually purchased drinks at half price. If you have bought the ultimate dining package, that is being extended without additional charge. The passengers are not being charged for the gratuities for the extra days. I would pay them anyway, but that's my choice. Internet can be purchased for 50% off, too, and free 30 minute blocks are being provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pumbaamd Posted September 7, 2017 #19 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Interesting pictures on Portfever today. CCL Liberty just sailed from PC with destination reading "Evac to Safe Area". EN, sailing to "Safe Waters", is in Miami with NCL Escape and MJ in PC with DCL Fantasy, most likely to sail soon with similar destinations.

JAMESCC Posted September 7, 2017 #20 Share Posted September 7, 2017 At what point do these ships having "extended itineraries" start running low on supplies? Food, drinks, other supplies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 7, 2017 #21 Share Posted September 7, 2017 At what point do these ships having "extended itineraries" start running low on supplies? Food, drinks, other supplies? When Harvey delayed Liberty's return to Galveston, the management on the ship said they had 10 days of provisions on board. They went to Miami and re-provisioned.

I would think not for both. Their insurance would probably pay for it all. They won't lose any money. The staff will have a little rest . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
