Are you on the ship now or supposed to get on tomorrow? (alot of information coming in quick and sure what is right). No.....I sail 9/1. But, am affected by whatever happens to the current cruise trip back to Miami. I am supposed to fly out tomorrow to Miami, though.

Rare blueslily Posted August 30, 2019 #53 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Do most travelers know that airlines are also aware of the hurricane and may make flight changes as well because they want to keep people safe also? Changes happen all the time. Traveling requires having some flexibility and resourcefulness hopefully. But, that's spoken from someone who loves travel planning, lol. I have to remember that many of us here on CC enjoy planning, but not everyone functions like us 🤔 Also, I thought that for NCL booked flights, if there is an issue, they do assist with arrangements. Of course that doesn't help people who booked their own flights, but the NCL flight folks may be able to chill out a bit. I missed a flight once and had to leave the next day. It was annoying, but I survived. Hopefully things will calm down on the ship some as people get their bearrings. Maybe the "shock" of a change was just too much for some people. 😁 I agree, rudeness is not necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never book a cruise in hurricane season. I want to be able to secure my house if one should hit my area. During hurricane Ike I prepared around my house and yard as well as I could and then evacuated with my pets. The ships coming back to Galveston went to another port. As for the people whose cars were in the parking lots around the cruise terminal found their cars completely flooded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_sobe Posted August 30, 2019 #57 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Gee, a captain puts his passenger's safety first and they complain. A cruise is a different kind of vacation. Anything can happen from the weather to mechanical issues. Roll with the punches. If the captain got them stuck in a hurricane, people would be complaining how their life was in danger. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. "Cleared by Coast Guard" = "PortMiami is open for incoming ships" (i.e., the Coast Guard has not elevated to Hurricane Condition YANKEE or ZULU (both of which do not allow incoming ships)). The port is current at WHISKEY and can be closed at any time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare blueslily Posted August 31, 2019 #68 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) I guess I can think about it like an airplane. The pilot can't just go a different way because he or she wants to. Someone has to clear the new plan because there is a lot more to consider than that one plane in the sky. There are a lot of ships to navigate right now with an ever changing track. Just my thoughts. Maybe this consideration will help some folks stop yelling at staff who have nothing to do with decisions that other people are making. Plus, regardless of which decision is made, someone will be unhappy with it. Try to enjoy the cruise folks!

All those babies in the Haven being nasty about the change in the itinerary can get off and book a flight home. Nothing is stopping them. Open up your wallets and you can get to where you need to be...stop being rude as****es. I spoke to a friend who was in the atrium at the time of the first announcement and seems there were way more babies who aren’t Haven screaming at the front desk.
