BigDoug Posted March 27, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Strong hurricanes to hit U.S. Gulf in 07 :eek: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070327/ts_nm/usa_weather_forecast_accuweather_dc_2 The same was predicted for 2006. http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2006/hurricanes/ and http://www.usatoday.com/weather/news/2006-04-04-hurricane-season_x.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted March 27, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2007 The same was predicated for 2006. http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2006/hurricanes/ No kidding... Cruise every year in October... and I always know it's hurricane season (have lived in NC most of my life, LOL). Cruise ships don't typically cruise into hurricanes... they go around. Hurricanes are predicted every year during hurricane season... and I will continue to cruise during that time :D If one is worried about a hurricane affecting their cruise... best not to cruise from June-November... and perhaps May-January.

Mikel1733 Posted March 27, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I hope they have the same accuracy as they had last year:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whimdriven Posted March 27, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 27, 2007 My entire first graduate-level class in risk management was spent analyzing the recorded history of hurricane activity. Lesson learned: hurricanes are one of those things that are almost completely unpredictable. There haven't been enough hurricanes to produce an accurate statistical sample. Three words: buy the insurance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halos Posted March 27, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Oh FTLOG Meteorologists can't predict the weather 24 hours ahead of time with any accuracy, I don't know how the hell they can predict a hurricane season. :rolleyes: Freakin fear-mongers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truecruiser Posted March 27, 2007 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2007 you guys beat me to it! they predicted the worst hurricane season ever for 2006, and thankfully, they were wrong. let's hope they are wrong again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruisin' Ron VA Posted March 27, 2007 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Last time I checked Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Everyone should cancel their cruises and only sail from December to May!! We all know how accurate Hurrican predictions are dont we? It is nothing more than a guessing game partially based on averages from previous years. Thanks for the panic post though! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrendaB1 Posted March 27, 2007 #18 Share Posted March 27, 2007 An extra day or two added on a cruise or alternative port would be fine with me. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted March 27, 2007 #23 Share Posted March 27, 2007 One thing I have learned here, if they ever DO announce a hurricane might be coming, the first thing I would do is look for a last minute bargain and book as fast as I can. I lived in Florida and know how bad they are to go thru, I was in a evacuation zone. That being said a part of me almost wishes for a little scare to lower prices. Yea I know that would be mean. I'm not wishing it to really happen to anyone....but I would book during hurricane season in a heartbeat. Maybe the price of my October 07 cruise would drop...hmmmm.

It's hanging my load time up, also, and I'm on a T1 at work. I think it's the slide show, that's a lot of bandwidth to load up for a message board!

beachbum6264 Posted March 27, 2007 #25 Share Posted March 27, 2007 We had a 7 day turned into a 9 day on the Inspiration a couple of years ago, during Huricane Frances. An extra day in Cozumel and an extra day at sea. Great for us (except we had to use paper napkins in the dining room the final night, don't know how we managed!!!!) But not so great for the group scheduled for the next cruise, we took 2 of their days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
