Hurricane Matthew

Anybody know how that hurricane is going to affect the 10/1 escape?

Keep track of it at Weather.com. Their Hurricane Central section does a good job of updating regularly.

https://weather.com/storms/hurricane-central

Also keep an eye on NCL.com. Cruises changes due to weather will be posted on the front page.

The cruiseline will keep you up-to-date on any changes to the Itinerary. Remember, when we choose to sail during Hurricane season we are just rolling the dice that it doesn't happen to us.

Should create some cheap last minute cruise deals. :cool:

Too soon to know right now. Just keep an eye on the weather, and check NCL website.

Well, if the Hurricane Center is correct, Matthew will not be turning north until late Sunday. Sunday is projected to be SSE of Jamaica. We should have sailed, and be past it's projected path by then leaving Matthew way behind us.

Our problem is, how close to Miami will it pass? Looks like we will be working Friday putting up window shutters and securing the yard.

Nuts.

Cheers.

hhhmmm

Seems like Matthew will be way East of our path and not close to St Thomas and Tortola. The question is how far out the wrap around clouds and wind extend. It could make it rough or cloudy[emoji22]

Guess we need to keep our fingers crossed and hope.

Also it looks like the Allure will for sure be rerouted somewhere since both the ship and MAtthew are schedule to meet in Hati. They could show up in St Thomas I guess.

Actually I was trying to say Matthew would be West of our path.

The Oct 7th NCL Dawn to Bermuda could be interesting. Matthew will be a strong storm passing just south of Cape Cod on the 7th or 8th.

That's my thoughts on our October 8th NYC to Halifax!

You can contact her on the ship if you would like to check on her.

We leave NYC on the 9th and curious to see how this all plays out as well!!

We sail out on October 3rd to the Bahamas on the Sky. Disembarkation is on the 7th in Miami. Seems like it will be out of the way when we get back but I'm not sure our itinerary will happen for Freeport and Nassau. They might have to swing us to the Caribbean instead. Guess we'll see.

Ship is in the Bahamas today ahead of the storm. Should be no issues, now those of us leaving tomorrow may be different
