Cruising89143 Posted September 1, 2004 #1 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Well I am now packed and ready to leave tomorrow morning and head down to Florida for my three night quickie.:) The only problem is where will we go? We leave out of Pt. Canaveral on Thursday but Fran has kind of put a kink in things. I plan to approach this as an adventure. I know that we will be rocking and rolling our way around the Atlantic. Of course if we just sail around for three days that will be fine with me. Just being on a cruise is a good thing. That means that I am not at work. I can only hope that somehow Fran has a change of heart and heads out to sea as I do not wish this storm on anyone. She is going to be bad. I only hope that all in her path take notice and get the heck out and be safe. I shall report from the ship on what is going on if the internet is up and running. To all others cruising this weekend, I hope that your cruise goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunkie103 Posted September 1, 2004 #2 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Good Luck. I'll be curious to see how they handle this mess. With the projected path a lot of weekend sailings could be affected. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted September 1, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted September 1, 2004 It will be interesting to say the least but whatever happens will happen for a reason and I am going to take it as it comes. No stress here. :) :) :) :) Just get me on a ship and I do not care where it goes!!!!!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoinCruisin Posted September 1, 2004 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Gordon, have a great time... I have my fingers crossed that this does not affect anyone cruising this weekend, and also hope that it just disappears... I hope that you have a very smooth sailing and safe trip!!!!

hstrybuf Posted September 1, 2004 #5 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Good luck, Gordon! We'll be keeping our eyes on Frances from land. Hope all goes well with your cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianfarmer Posted September 1, 2004 #6 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I'm leaving on the Legend this Saturday going to San Juan St Thomas and Totola....or am I ? I too do not care where the ship goes but am curious to find out what will happen. How ever I am going with 80 others that are already complaining. Maybe we'll go to Bermuda instead . Or worse Canada. It wouldn't matter to me but these people were ecpecting a beach in the caribbean.Oh well a bad day at sea is still better then a good day at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted September 1, 2004 Author #7 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Here it is at 2:45 in the morning and I am still up. I am listening to a live storm broadcast about Frances. I'm glad that someone else is driving tomorrow as I cannot sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pungo3 Posted September 1, 2004 #8 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Gordon, keep us posted on your cruise. We will all be hoping for the best. My DH is all worried about our house, etc., and I'm all worried about my cruise friends and the cruiseships. Have a great cruise regardless!

Timshaun Posted September 1, 2004 #9 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Hi DianFarmer!! I guess I'll be playing the guessing game with you, as we are also leaving out of NY on the Legend this Sat. I see you live in Balt. Were you bumped from another ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCHARGE Posted September 1, 2004 #10 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Have a safe trip to all cruising this week. We will also be cruising Sunday on the Miracle from Baltimore. We were supposed to go Key West,Nassau, and Freeport. Heaven only knows where we will end up. My prayers are with all in her path. Gordon..Do yoy know how much it costs for internet service? One of my friends has an online college assignment. I have never used it on the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvwater Posted September 1, 2004 #11 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I am also on the Legend September 4. I agree just get me on the ship but I do pray for decent weather where ever they take us. I did check the weather in Canada and it is only 70. For some of us that live in the snow belt, I really wanted one last blast of hot weather. We are all worried about our trips but my heart does go out if this hurricane hits land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gailisacruzin Posted September 1, 2004 #12 Share Posted September 1, 2004 HI - My husband and I as well as our 21 year old daughter are also on the Legend 9/4 - I think we might be lucky and go east and then south and by the time we get south Frances will be north - just concerned about the hit the US coast is taking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted September 1, 2004 Author #13 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Well hello from Orlando. Cancelled our room in Cocoa Beach and moved a little closer in. As most of you know Carnival is giving us the option to cancel or go and at this point I am not sure what to do. My main concern is if the eye passes over the or near the port as it is now forecasted to do I may not have a car as it will be totally underwater. After making the trip down from Atlanta I am ready to go. I guess I will make up my mind tomorrow morning. I am going to keep watching Fran and hope that she goes another way but I am not holding my breathe. Later!!!!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
