Hurricane Maria!!

[fairytalelover]

Looks like there is another huge hurricane going towards the Caribbean and the Bahamas! May become a cat 4! There are going to be no islands left for DCL to go to except the Western Carribean We are scheduled on the Thanksgiving cruise to the Eastern Carribean and Im pretty sure our ports will be changed.

Thanksgiving is still two months away so you never know.

The islands depend on the tourism $$$$ for their economy, so they'll repair the ports asap.

I appreciated Trera's updating the board on the status of the hurricane. There wasn't another button to express my appreciation. If it makes you happy, I removed the "like."

Dominica is getting pummeled and I can't like that at all.

My hunch is that there will be no quick fix to the damage the Islands sustained from the first Hurricane--not to mention this one.

Will be surprised if there is an E. sailing for the remainder of the year.

There will be no Eastern Caribbean cruises to those ports this year. The military is there and are saying a minimum of 6-12 months to repair the docks. The western ports already have the those cruises on their websites for the remainder of the year.

I feel sorry for those people effected by all this devastation left behind by all these hurricanes. The last thing anyone needs is another hurricane.

Unfortunately these islands were practically wiped off the face of the earth by Irma. And now Maria... You would not want to visit even if you could. People there are struggling to survive. Donate generously to the charity of choice. And pray for them and that their homes can be repaired and rebuilt and that they may return.

Then why hasn't DCL announced this for our Thanksgiving cruise?

The "like" button isn't just used when you like what is said. You can also use it when you appreciate the information so settle down. There's no need to yell at this poster

You did nothing wrong. The "like" button is often used for when one appreciates someone posting certain information.

We are booked to do the repositoning cruise from San Juan - Miami. They already cancelled all cruises to Tortola... And now PC is going to get clobbered as well. I can't imagine the devastation that these storms are having on all these people. Mother Nature is truly pissed off with us this time. Praying this will be the end of HUrricane Season so these survivors can rebuild their lives.

Is Castaway Cay in its way?

 

[mom4fun]

Good question. You can look up the ports your self and see. Someone from our cruise group called and they were told that we would be hearing of new itinerary soon. Our cruise isn't until February.

I wasn't yelling. I was asking a question.

Well you had multiple question marks like this ???????
which is the equivalent of yelling and freaking out.

Did you mean PR for Puerto Rico? Because according to the current track and the spaghetti models Maria is not expected to hit Florida and Port Canaveral, Thank Goodness!

Is Castaway Cay in its way?

According to the latest model CC has a 10-20% chance of tropical storm force winds, 39mph or higher in the next 5 days. The same model doesn't show any chance of hurricane force.
