Another hurricane

Looks like something might be brewin g in the western carribean. Was watching the weather channel earlier. 40% chance it becomes a hurricane. Not good I'm booked on the harmony for dec for the western carribean.

Your cruise is in December and you're worried about a disturbance in Central America in October?

We are booked in December too....it is over a month away. :rolleyes::D

I assume OP is giving a heads up for future possible weather events and possible after effects...

You never know what could happen plus it's almost november

My guess is that he/she is concerned as to the affect said possible hurricane will have on the ports he/she is slated to visit.

Bolt fish that's is correct. And since I had to cancel a cruise too the eastern due to irma. I'm just a bit concerned.

Given all the uncertainty and the low probability of a storm this late in the season, maybe one should wait till more realistic forecasts are given?

Biker19 the weather channel has pretty accurate this year and in years past. Granted more will be known within the next few days.

Granted more will be known within the next few days.

And my suggestion was to wait at least till then or later to start panicking.

Gee, I was so busy arguing over on the This is Crazy boards about going back to St Matin too soon that I missed this.

We have a cruise booked in Nov for Western Carib so I guess I should be more concerned than you. Life happens, we have insurance,

You posted way too soon. Chill!

Criticize me all you want but I'm not really thrilled about potentially cancelling 2 cruises in the same year.

NHC has designated it as "Disturbance 1" and indicates it has a 50% chance of formation within the next 5 days. Movement is expected to be slowly northward.

Western Caribbean itineraries may be clousier than normal, much like our last one was. (We were a day ahead of TS Nate.)

Criticize me all you want but I'm not really thrilled about potentially cancelling 2 cruises in the same year.

Ironic...........our son's honeymoon was cancelled in Key West at the beginning of Oct. They honeymooned in your fine state of Arizona and had an amazing time.........very ironic!

Seems this on off the coast of the Caribbean side of Central America now has a 50% chance of becoming a named tropical storm in the next couple of days.

Guess it's too soon to tell how strong or where it will go is too soon to tell at this point.

That thing will be LOOOONG gone by December. Doesn't look to have a path that will hit any of the areas that are still trying to recover. Relax, all will be fine!:D

Why spend more than a month worrying about things that you have absolutely no control over? :p

OK..... MY Western Caribbean cruise is NEXT WEEK! Guessing I should start watching the weather a bit closer! Gulp

YEP!!:eek:

Why would you cancel your cruise based on possible itinerary changes?

Some people search every thread just to criticize. I have no problem starting a thread for conversation. If I didn't like it, I would ignore it. I just booked another short cruise for September after having Majesty shortened this year by a day. I'm going to watch the NOAA site every day till then! I'm starting to get worried!

The party mentioned likes to invoke fear as has been demonstrated on previous threads involving storms. More or less said entire State of Florida would be devastated after IRMA.

Mark - I understand your concern. Sorry for the misunderstanding about your initial post.

FYI... the percentage is not to develop into a HURRICANE, it is the potential to develop into something tropical.

1. Tropical Depression
   
2. Tropical Storm
   
3. Hurricane
   
4. Major Hurricane
   

It's definitely not a 40% chance of developing into a hurricane at this point.

Living in FL, I like to keep an eye on potential storms. But not all invests will develop into devastating tropical cyclones and destroy ports (ie Major Hurricanes). This year has been bad, with record breaking Cat 4s and Cat 5s, so I get it that people are exceptionally worried. And I do have a cruise booked Dec 2 to Western Caribbean. But even the models can't decide if this will amount to anything yet and if so, not a particularly impressive development this late in the season if it does.
