smokeybandit Posted Saturday at 07:28 PM #9 Share Posted Saturday at 07:28 PM Tampa cruise schedules, at least on paper, should be OK for this. But Tampa the port may not be ready to handle traffic by the time Serenade needs it on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandebeach Posted Saturday at 08:05 PM #10 Share Posted Saturday at 08:05 PM Breaking - The NHC has initiated advisories in TD 14 in the Gulf of Mexico. It is forecasted to become Hurricane #Milton before making landfall along the west coast of FL mid-week near Tampa, possibly as a 110 mph category 2 hurricane, maybe even a major. This storm will have the potential of causing impacts to a large portion of the Florida peninsula. Storm surge, flooding rains and hurricane force winds will all be impactful for Florida. All interests in FL and the NW Bahamas should track this storm closely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandebeach Posted Saturday at 09:32 PM #11 Share Posted Saturday at 09:32 PM I can’t believe a Cat 3 hurricane is possible in a few days when the Tampa/St. Pete area is still in the midst of clean-up from Helene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajathree Posted Saturday at 11:31 PM #12 Share Posted Saturday at 11:31 PM Yup not good for an already battered FL west coast. The streets of our coastal communities here in Central FL are currently piled high with appliances, sheetrock, furniture etc from storm battered homes due to Helene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we cant gr to roatan, let's go to the bahamas on a 6 day cruise out of Texas Problem with texas there really arent other alternate ports. I do feel bad for families with kids who all wanted to hold a sloth in roatan. Now we just go to Mexico and back. Many newbies booked this cruise, their first.

lovesthebeach2 Posted 21 hours ago #17 Share Posted 21 hours ago I’m reading that this time people may listen and evacuate, which is a good thing, as some of the hotels further east of the coast are already booked, including some Disney hotels (don’t know if that 100% accurate). Our daughter who lives north of Tampa asked if she and the kids can come to us and have hubby hold down the fort there…I said she better wait and see, it’s too early to tell. Irma was forecast to hit Tampa bad but it turned in and came over us in the middle of the night. We’re set, generator, gas, snacks, booze and water. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard gov desantis sent all our hurricane folks to NC who been working non stop now might have to call them back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInnocentAge Posted 18 hours ago #19 Share Posted 18 hours ago Still a few days out, but as of now it looks like Milton still has his sights set on Tampa Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahagan Posted 18 hours ago #20 Share Posted 18 hours ago I'm supposed to sail out of Tampa tomorrow, the 7th, on Grandeur of the Seas. So far, not a word from RCL, but my roomie and I decided to cancel today. We live in central Florida ( I actually live in Daytona Beach) and not only do we have our own hurricane preparations to take care of, but no way are we driving into the bullseye of a hurricane, parking our car there and then who knows what we'd come back to. Our safety and sanity are worth more to us right now than the money we'll most likely lose by canceling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingos Posted 16 hours ago #21 Share Posted 16 hours ago Hurricane Milton, and it looks like it’s going right through Port Canaveral on Thursday. 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWhoGirl Posted 15 hours ago #22 Share Posted 15 hours ago My son and I drove to FL from extreme upstate SC yesterday - we literally just went through the eye of Helene last week! We boarded Serenade in Tampa around noon today. After seeing the forecast path , we left my car at a family member’s house in the Orlando area and they drove us to Tampa this morning. I didn’t want to risk parking my car in Tampa with the threat of storm surge and flooding at the port. Haven’t heard anything about changing the itinerary, but won’t be surprised if we do. We’re ready for an adventure and will just go with the flow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of Cozumel and Costa Maya, it's now all seas except for Nassau. Doesn't matter, as we've canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always an adventure of unknown when cruising in hurricane season. Be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope Royal cancels it because it'going to be very unpleasant if not downright dangerous to be anywhere in this area this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
