Mike45LC Posted September 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Unless the embarkation port is damaged (or actively being deluged), cruise lines rarely cancel cruises for hurricanes. They might change the intended cruise plot, they might cancel or substitute ports of call, but they do NOT want to cancel the cruise and return $$ to the passengers! They can sail around the storm. A slow moving storm can easily be out-sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slow moving storm can easily be out-sailed. We rode out a hurricane anchored in Tokyo bay on the last night of a b2b cruise. Princess was able to get 2000 people off the ship and 2000 new ones back on with airport issues, trees blocking roads, mud slides etc. We left a few hours late but it was amazing how they were able to deal with the situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Princess cancelled or delayed any cruises? I think the hardest part would be getting to FL if you’re flying. i cannot image the call volume for PCL, EZAIR and the airlines. Really glad we aren’t going this weekend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

californiagirl Posted September 29, 2022 #8 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Carnival cancelled some as well. There were approximately 5 ships including Carnival and Norwegian at sea unsure if they could dock either yesterday or today. A few pre-determined to stay at sea one or two days extra. The cruises directly following were cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A slow moving storm can easily be out-sailed. Cruise lines have indeed cancelled cruises because of Ian. There are at least three cruises on Carnival, MSC and Royal Caribbean that were due to start the day of the hurricane. The cruises that were ending have been extended for one or two days, which took away days from the next cruise. Instead of trying to make itinerary adjustments for thousands of passenger bookings, with all the cost adjustments and related partial refunds, those three cruise lines chose to cancel them in their entirety.

paradiselivin1 Posted September 29, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I can understand that cruises may have been canceled from the port of Tampa as this area was the target for a direct hit originally. We dodged a bullet but with high winds our airport was closed for 2+ days and will re-open tomorrow making it tough to get into the area. That being said, FLL was never in the "bulls-eye" and can't imagine why they would have canceled. This was a West Coast event except for departure of the storm.

AtlantaCruiser72 Posted September 29, 2022 #11 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Princess do not have any ships sailing from Port Everglades until November. Only North American East Coast departures in the next few weeks will be NYC/Quebec for Canada N/E sailings, which may be affected with the aftermath of Fiona with itinerary/port changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
