Probably the same mindset why they sail year round during Hurricane season in the Caribbean .. $$$$

I live on Barbados, in the Southern Caribbean

where people have no idea

how very calm our seas are, generally

during the peak months of Hurricane Season

i.e. Aug-Sept-Oct.

FLAT they are.

Unless a weather system comes along

-with days and weeks warning ahead of time,

re. said Wx system developing and where it's headed,

and therefore how to avoid it,

and  continue sailing the the annual calmest time of year!!

Was on the Carnivale in March of 1990.

Aplmac, do you remember if Malcolm Kennedy was still the CD when you went in September?

I'm a rank beginner compared to you!

My first cruise was a quick 3-day charter on DESTINY

ex Barbados, in May 2007 -decades after you started!!

No lives have been lost but still..

this incident

will cost Viking Ocean Cruises a small fortune!
