suzski Posted July 28, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2008 This is the *best* source for predictions on these unpredictable things: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ We were worried about Bertha on our Southern Caribbean cruise....and needn't have as we had perfect weather every day.

tdogcruiser Posted July 28, 2008 #5 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Thanks suzski, I know I am being paranoid but we haven't cruised much during hurricane season before and the one time we did (October), we had lousy weather due to running from a hurricane in the eastern caribbean. We just thought we'd try it in August but I know the captain would never put us in harms way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
