I think Radiance is sailing Mexico, not Splendour. Or did you mean something else? :D We are sailing on Radiance in 3 weeks. The storm will be long gone, but I hope there isn't a lot of damage to the port.

A couple of things to think about for cruisers sailing next week (AFTER the hurricane). That storm surge near Cabo is going to bring up a lot of colder water from down deep. So this "might" have an effect on the surface temps in the ocean, IE the water might not be as warm as it normally is in Oct. It's also "possible" that snorkeling may be fairly crummy depending on how cloudy the water gets after the storm. This will also be dependent upon how soon after the hurricane passes that you are there. It may not effect it at all, but it's something to consider. Mazatlan & Puerto Vallarta will also feel the effects of the storm surge but to a lessor degree. It's "possible" their snorkeling will be less than pristene as well, but they should fare better than Cabo.

DW and I are getting ready to go to the airport to start out 5 nighter on Radiance. We planned this trip because of the price so I'm looking forward to whatever the Captain decides to do :D

 

 

We feel the same way........safety is always first.

 

Enjoy your cruise, we'll be on right after you.

We were aboard the Mariner one week after the last storm dumped a great deal of rain on Cabo, and the only thing that we noticed was that,even tho there were no clouds in the sky, the air was extremely humid, and the high temperatures did not help.

 

We were off of the ship for less than an hour before getting back aboard, very sweaty from the humidity and high temperature.

 

It will be interesting to hear about the recovery from this one.

Hey Rick...this one has got your name written all over it. :) :)

Cabo is expected to take a direct hit....we'll be there next week. We don't plan on getting off ship so we should be OK.

I suspect you will not be going to PV, Mazatlan or Cabo next week.

 

I was on the August 30th Jimena hurricane cruise. We reversed our

order of ports, but made all ports.

 

Hurricane Rick will be lurking over Mazatlan and will hit Cabo on

Wednesday.

 

Be prepared to go to Ensenada, San Diego. Mariner cannot go to

Catalina as Capt. Per said on our August 30th cruise.

 

Also possible you will be doing the swine flu run to the north.

Rick, you trying to haunt Captain Johnny? :D:eek:

 

Your comments about after last storm...remind me of earlier this week here after the cold front last weekend when some of it backed up as a warm front and it was hot and steamy here...almost like middle of Summer.

 

Hopefully the storm doesn't do too much damage.

Just as an FYI, got off the phone with RCI and the current plan for Radiance departing tomorrow is to go San Diego to Ensenada then Catalina and then LA. They should have final plans by 7pm PDT. It's gonna be an adventure!

Why can't the Mariner go to Catalina?
