We leave the 9th from Fort Lauderdale on the Conquest for our first cruise. I am watching this hurricane like a crazy woman. I know I can't change the weather but I did so much research into our ports!!!

 

I hope she doesn't cause to much distruction or ruin to many vacation plans.

 

 

I will be on this exact same cruise with you. If anything, they might change our Eastern Intinerary to a Western.. due to Irma..

So we're on carnival conquest on the 9th. This is my first cruise. Does carnival usually give you good notification if the cruise is canceled? The way its looking if it hits Florida its going to be around the 9th. I'm worried because we're flying in the 8th and staying in ft lauderdale. I don't wanna fly all the way there to just be stuck in a hurricane.

We are cruising on a 4 day Bahama cruise leaving on 9/14. Watching both Irma and the one brewing right after.... forgot to add insurance to my booking.. is it too late?

Also, since it is only a four day, wondering if they reroute us Western... will we have any stops? or maybe will it become a longer cruise?? Who knows... after most cruises that I have taken, only a few out of the 28 have been rerouted. Never cancelled.. and all worked out fine... With the Bahamas being in Irmas path, they could sustain much damage... prayers for all in Irma's path.

i am booked on the Liberty, leaving Port Canaveral on the 10th and going to the Bahamas (where Irma is possibly headed late this week). I haven't sailed out of Port Canaveral much; does anybody know if there is an alternate itinerary from PC instead of the Bahamas on a 4-night cruise?

Roll with the situation! When choosing to cruise during hurricane season, Mother Nature dictates what happens.

 

It is what it is! Once on the ship the captain and crew aren't going to put you or the ship in peril.

I'm supposed to be sailing out of Port Canaveral on the 9th. I'll be bummed if we don't get to but I'm trying not to worry about it since I can't control the weather. I'm just going to cross my fingers and hope for the best!

We r sailing on 9/9 from Canaveral too. Leaving on the Magic. We can sail wherever as long as I get a week away on a ship. Its our honeymoon lol:D:hearteyes:

They could do a cruise to Key West

I'm going on the Pride next week also. My 10th time on this boat. Hope to see you there. I'll be at the casino, the piano bar, trivia and karaoke.

 

Hello. I'm new here and we are going on our first cruise next Sunday the 10th, out of Baltimore. I've never paid much attention to hurricanes so don't know much about them. Should we be concerned? We are supposed to go to Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay and Freeport.

UPDATE: Carnival Cruise Lines confirms that additional itineraries are being modified in order to keep their ships and crew out of Hurricane Irma’s projected path. In addition to the Carnival Glory changes mentioned below, three other ships will see their itineraries altered.

Carnival Magic: The six-day cruise departing out of Port Canaveral today originally was slated to to visit Nassau, followed by a day at sea, Amber Cove, Grand Turk and another sea day before returning to Florida. Instead, she will spend tomorrow at sea before visiting Cozumel, Belize and Costa Maya, followed by a final sea day as she returns to Port Canaveral.

Carnival Splendor: This six-day sailing out of Fort Lauderdale was originally slated to visit Nassau, Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk and Amber Cove before spending a final day at sea on its way back to Port Everglades. Instead, she will spend tomorrow at sea before visiting COzumel, Mahogany Bay and Belize, followed by another sea day on her way back to Port Everglades.

Carnival Pride: The ship’s seven-day cruise out of Baltimore was originally slated to spend two days at sea before sailing to Grand Turk and Half Moon Cay, followed by two sea days on her way back to Baltimore. Instead, she will now spend Monday at sea, then call upon Charleston, Freeport and Nassau before spending two days at sea sailing back to Baltimore.

We leave the 9th on the conquest too! I'm really praying it doesn't effect the cruise or we don't get caught into the storm!

I'm on the Friday departure of the Victory out of Miami. It's a 3 nighter that overnights Nassau, and if Irma doesn't change course, it looks like the entire trip is in the hurricane zone. I'm not even sure what they could do to re-route this.

 

Time to go make some sacrificies to the weather gods so Irma heads back out to sea and doesn't make landfall anywhere!

This will sound stupid but what dates are these changes for?

Oh I hope so. Maybe there's still hope for us next week.

 

 

When are you supposed to leave? Unfortunately there is some chance for an East Coast landfall later on as far north as Maryland. (I'm in the storm's possible path myself, and supposed to sail on the 17th from Florida.)

The 10th. I didn't realize going on a cruise would be this stressful.
