A lot of the other ships leave mid April In fact, HAL has hardly any ir NONE in Fla between May-Oct. Princess and Celebrity might each have one.

That's the norm for HAL - given how hot/humid Florida is that time of year, why anyone would want to cruise to the Caribbean is beyond me. HAL takes off for more pleasant cruising environments, leaving the crappy weather cruises to other lines. Granted, families with kids are stuck cruising when school's out - but that has no appeal to me (son is 36 years old - past the days of being tied to a school calendar)!

Actually Atlantic hurricane season is May 31 through November 30th. The peak tends to be Sept/Oct, although August has had it's share of hurricanes. Look at Ian last year - my home is still not right, and I was one of the lucky ones. Sue/WDW1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily@Sea Posted April 3, 2023 #7 Share Posted April 3, 2023 So we still have a blocker ship sitting at Pier 25. But usually with TransAtlantics they do tend to leave later. Maybe Rotterdam will break that custom and leave on time. I do plan to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Vict0riann Posted April 3, 2023 #15 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Things may be late today. Evidently when they were setting up the gangways, one blew a fuse and there was a small fire, no damage, but now there is just one gangway, for coming and going. We have 257 staying on board. We have requested-a-wave from the PTZ webcam, we’ll probably be 10 or 11on our verandah with a Canadian flag, a long verandah over the first/second lifeboats. Please take pictures! I’ll come back and check later, I can’t get the webcam to work on my phone. Thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
