Does anyone have any word on damage/lack of damage at Port Everglades and Tampa ports? Hope they made it through undamaged.

I have only heard of damage at Port Canaveral. The Mariner of the Seas is suppose to arrive there on Tuesday, and they have been diverted to Miami.
This is per someone currently on the Mariner. The RCI website does not reflect the change.

Good morning:) I don't know how much has changed since the Governor's Press Conference yesterday afternoon but I heard him say Port Everglades was supposed to open up this morning........

And that this particular port has MUCH MORE than just cruise ships....they have barges of ships with Oil for Gasoline that needs to be distributed~he said there are people (truckers)waiting to be able to get in there......to move that product all over the state.
Hoping the port didn't sustain too much damage (if any).......maybe they will have JEB or someone else In Tallahassee update us today.

Port Canaveral

Could the reason be that Miami's airport opened yesterday and Orlando's airport may still be closed?

Disney is supposed to have a cruise ship dock today at Port Canaveral. What happened to her?

Lois - thanks for the update.

So - wonder why RCI can't dock at Port Canaveral.
