Default Anyone hear about tropical storm in caribbean?
Sailing in just two days and I heard there's a tropical storm somewhere in the caribbean. Didn't hear anything on the news today. Wondering if anyone has heard anything??? Would they change the route or skip an island because of a storm??

It made landfall. Probably dying as we speak.

Under no circumstances will your captain take you into a dangerous area. Stop stressing and start packing. Enjoy your cruise!

Pia is right it hit land and is weakening. Check out weather.com. By the time you are there it will be gone.

Have a great cruise. We are on the week following you

Ida is now considered a tropical depression; winds only 35 MPH. Sounds like she's bit the dust.

Princess has just announced a change in schedule for Crown Princess to avoid Ida. Check with Princess or see the article posted on Cruise Critic by the administrator.

One of my sites now indicates that it may regenerate once it traverses the warm waters of the Gulf. Those of us in Lee County are in the five day tracking cone. However, I believe that those on the Crown Princess will be safe, but it would appear wise to pack your dramamine.
