The only reason hurricane Frances caused such a disruption of cruise ship business was that Frances paid her visit during the weekend when vast majority of ships come back to port, unload, reload & sail back out.

If Frances had arrived Tues, Wed or Thurs, there would have been nearly no disruption of cruise ship business, except for some 3 or 4 nighters or maybe a 10 nighter.

I would guess that Ivan will not likely disrupt stops at Jamaica, Cayman & Cozumel this week, as most stops to those ports occur mid-week.

If Ivan ends up in Gulf of Mexico or in Florida it will most likely be after this weekend!!
