Here comes Nate!

I just wish carnival could tell us anything. We are flying out tommorow for the 8th and watching closely. No insurance so can't cancel. So we are going ahead with original plans and hoping for the best

We fly out tomorrow as well. And like you said are hoping for the best. If not I guess we will have a story to tell later.

The captain on the Dream just announced the Port of New Orleans will be closing at noon tomorrow. The ship won't be back on Sunday.

2 different people from our roll call just called the New Orleans Port Authority and were told that is not true. So I'm not sure what's going on.

I don't know. Just got a text from family on the Dream who said he just made that announcement.

The Captain said the river is being closed tomorrow at noon so perhaps the port itself will remain open for a bit.

That's probably it.

As jokingly as this is, the huricane is my name, Nate. I want to know about this because I fly out tomorrow Saturday, for the cruise out of New Orleans on Sunday. I’m wondering what to do.

Has anyone heard anything about the Triumph? We are supposed to leave NoLA on Monday!

Sorry, hit reply to soon.. current Dream cruisers have said that the port will be closed and that they are cruising to stay away from the storm

I'm surprised this storm isn't getting discussed more. Surely it must be affecting some western itineraries if it's about to roll over Cozumel?

LOL, I am being entertained by this post.

First of all, NONE of the Carnival ships go under the bridge in New Orleans..............why that isnt the way to the gulf? They all turn around.

The River is still open. The storm is supposed to hit on Sat night and be very quick. You should be able to cruise on Sunday AM.

Is it true that the river is closing at noon today though? Have you heard that?

I'll be an Atlantic storm in 2018. My name is replacing Sandy. Yay me.:rolleyes:

We are supposed to sail on the Dream this Sunday as well. I think until we hear something definitive from Carnival plan to leave on Sunday. Although I believe a Monday departure is most likely. And we are traveling today with a plan b, c, and d.

I am feeling a sense of deja vu. Our cruise on the Norwegian Escape was 2 weeks after Irma and our cruise got re-routed to the Western Caribbean. We are booked on the Carnival Fantasy in 2 weeks out of Mobile to the Western Caribbean and now Nate is predicted to go right over the islands we are supposed to go....again. What are the odds???

As of now, the projected landfall is Sunday at 2am as a cat 1, passing NOLA around 6am. If that holds true, I would plan on a delayed transit up the river resulting in a delayed embarkation.

You should be fine. It's grazing Nicaragua and the Yucatan. There's dangerous flooding in Central America but the Yucatan will be fine as will the islands. It will be long gone and on the Gulf Coast early Sunday morning. Once it turns north Nate will be blasting forward like a freight train. At any rate, Nate is not Irma.

Port of Mobile is restricting traffic advising ships to leave by 6pm today.

I don’t understand why Carnival hasn’t let people know they won’t be boarding Sunday.., when the current cruisers have been notified they will NOT be disembarking then.

Not right !!!!!

They haven't been informed that they definitely won't be. It's just very likely they won't be.

The forecast is still changing. I am sure there will be some sort of an announcement tomorrow.

The storms path is shifting to the East already. I think maybe Sunday will be okay. Remember the west side of the storm is the less intense, dryer side. Fingers crossed.
