loubetti Posted October 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I see Ocho Rios for Thursday. Matthew will have passed by then, but not sure what shape Ocho Rios will be in. It is well in the path of "Matt". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce39 Posted October 2, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) I'm thinking any ships leaving from north of florida will be heading north. Hello Canada??? Fortunately for me, I'm sailing next Sunday! Stay safe folks. Edited October 2, 2016 by bruce39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapphire_407 Posted October 2, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 2, 2016 The ports on the western route will be jam packed with ships. Not a good week for a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swodog94 Posted October 2, 2016 #15 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm thinking any ships leaving from north of florida will be heading north. Hello Canada??? Yep. Pride out of Baltimore has changed from Grand Turk/HMC/Freeport to NYC and St John. Kinda sucky, if you ask me.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybumpkin Posted October 2, 2016 #16 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Yep. Pride out of Baltimore has changed from Grand Turk/HMC/Freeport to NYC and St John. Kinda sucky, if you ask me.:( Halifax would be better than Saint John, but this time of year is busy in the Maritime ports and Carnival was probably pretty limited in its choice of ports. OTOH, I wouldn't want to be in Cozumel on Tuesday with the number of re-routed ships in port. It's going to be mobbed.:eek: Off Topic: Love your screen name. My oldest son is a SWO, right now in Bahrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatterasbride2008 Posted October 2, 2016 #17 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I am so upset that Carnival Elation embarking tomorrow is now going to Key West. I understand that we can't go to the Bahama's, but they could have rerouted to Cozumel. I didn't book a cruise to go to Florida from Florida! Ugh! Won't do this again!

Cozumel is not possible out of Jacksonville for 5 days. Don't blame Carnival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggielover68 Posted October 3, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Cozumel is not possible out of Jacksonville for 5 days. Don't blame Carnival. This. Cozumel is far. Just be thankful that you are going somewhere and not circling around in the ocean for 5 days. Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCruisers Posted October 3, 2016 #22 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Have there been any additional itinerary changes? Especially interested in Charleston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted October 3, 2016 #23 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Looks like GT and HMC are in the path of Matthew, the hurricane is forecast to be there Wednesday (GT) and Thursday (HMC). Anyone's guess what damage might be done and whether future cruises will have those ports still on their schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnival_Brides Posted October 3, 2016 #24 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Have there been any additional itinerary changes? Especially interested in Charleston. Nothing yet. We're waiting to see if Sunshine out of NYC changes for Saturday--I suspect we have a few more days to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the change in itinerary upsets you so much...don't book a cruise during hurricane season... Happy Sailing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
