Hurricane Irma Watch

[BillOh]

Any thoughts on how Sept. 10 NCL Breakaway sailing to Bermuda out of NYC might be affected?

 

Royal is planning an announcement (according to their website ) at 6pm for their 9/9 cruise from that area. I'll bet NCL is also dealing with Florida and getting ready to deal with NY area soon.

Yes, you will get a 100% refund if they cancel but they've already made decisions on all sailings scheduled for Sunday. What ship are you on?

 

 

 

Great, thanks. Our ship doesn't leave until Monday, 9/11 on the Enchantment of the Seas, as far as I can see this trip hasn't been cancelled yet, since it's still too far away. I'm going to try calling RCI now and hopefully I'm not on hold too long.

Does anyone know what ports RCL are keeping their Oasis ship at? If they are not heading back this weekend, where will they be?

 

It would be ironic if one ended up in Galveston.

The current sailings for Oasis-class ships have just been extended.

Captain is announcing on Harmony the updated itinerary. We are stopping at Costa Maya on Friday and at our regularly scheduled Cozumel on Thursday. The latest we would get back is Tuesday.

My brother and his family are on Harmony in Star Class, the 4 bedroom Suite. I think they are going to enjoy the extra days.

Port of Miami closing at 8am Sat. I am sure FFL will not be far behind.

Just got off the phone with RCI. They told me the same information everyone has been receiving. It's a wait and see game. He did mention since I have the insurance to not cancel yet and to wait and see if they cancel the cruise. I would not be entitled to a refund or any other compensation they would offer, if I cancel before they do. So that's something to keep in mind for everyone who's considering cancelling.

Just getting a static picture from St Thomas webcam. St. Croix looks awful and the hurricane isn't even there yet. Water washing up on the boardwalk. Of course, Maho Beach webcam is down.

If the cruise line makes the decision to cancel the cruise, passengers get a 100% refund? But if the passenger decides to cancel (assuming they purchased the cruise insurance), they will get the 75% refund? Please clarify.

So we live in Orlando and are going to do the 5 day cruise of oasis now leaving on Tuesday.... how do i reschedule activities on the boat? I read somewhere shore excursions are done once we are on the boat. I'm grateful we can still go... I'd rather be cruising than stuck at home without electricity for the week! Lol

You would be able to go to the Shore Excursions desk once onboard to make plans.

Irma is a 400 mile wide storm. Much wider than the state of Florida from west coast to east coast. No matter where you

are in Florida, if it continues on the forecast path...you are not safe. Irma is a bulldozer that would cover the entire state

if it rips up the middle.

 

RCI (IMHO) is being generous to refund money...though they did not cause the situation. They are having to deal

with this thing also. As are all Florida residents. I just hope I have a home to go back to and am worried about my

friends and family too.

 

Be safe everyone.

Pat, you and Bucky are like turtles. You carry your home with you. [emoji2]

Don't know. They are already Pinnacle. Note on Sea Pass cards. They were given choice of White (PC) or Star Class (Dark Purple/Black). They choose the Star Class sea pass cards.

We were in Coco Cat yesterday. The new south beach area is very nice. It will be a pity if it gets destroyed. They were evacuating right after we left.

LOL!! Yeah, the home on wheels (turtle shell land yacht :p). Fortunately parked here outside of Bar Harbor Maine right now.

 

Hope you keep safe, and hope our homes come through without serious damage also.

 

Feel helpless up here, worrying about our neighbors/families/friends and if we will still have a home

to come home to....but at least we are safe.

Are ships able to even get into St Marten for the foreseeable future? The pics look like the island is wiped out.

Seems to have died down some in St Croix- the water isn't going over the boardwalk.

 

St Croix is much better than I saw it a few hours ago. The center is almost due north of there right now, too. So the worst may have passed them.
