Bermuda storm?

[Mlake09]

Does anyone know how close a storm may need to be to Bermuda/embarkation port for NCL to change a cruise to Canada instead? I’m watching a tropical storm currently headed toward Florida, and wondering how that might impact our weekend cruise on NCL Pearl from Boston to Bermuda. Has anyone ever had a similar storm pop up before their trip? Or any weather buffs out there?
 

To be clear, I understand it’s totally NCL‘s decision should we need to change, and that’s no problem with me; we were on the Star this summer for the inaugural Greenland trip and instead took a sail around Norway, so we are understanding that changes do happen!

The storm is nowhere near Bermuda and in fact will be moving even further away from Bermuda as time progresses. Actually it will be moving toward New England and Canada so it's possible your departure from Boston on Friday could be delayed depending on the storm's progress. In no way would your ship be heading to Canada . Take a look at the storm's forecast track:

The ship will go to Bermuda. 

 

If you are watching the storm, you would know that sailing North to Canada on Friday would be sailing into the storm, not away from it. 

 

That being said, make sure that you get to Boston in front of the storm, else the ship will leave without you.
