[jayhawk66]

I just checked on Port Everglades status and it is is closed through 11/10 due to the incoming tropical storm. Sadly this affects both the Eurodam and Rotterdam due in port 11/9. Below is link to relevant report:

That's disappointing.  First time I have had weather issues getting on or off a cruise.  Booked with Flight Ease and Transfer, so we'll see how this works.

This is why I do not cruise during active hurricane season.  

[HappyInVan]

Its an adventure!

Not sure if I should be flying to FLL tomorrow now... Hope we hear from Holland America soon

If you look at the webcam, it's still open, Celebrity in town.

Yawn....It's a tropical storm.

Correct. The possible closure was as of 8 am today. Beyond had already docked. It appears it up to port when and if the Beyond can leave on its five day cruise.

What a shame for the people who thought they would be boarding  😞

[Banditswife]

how will this affect those on the ships at this time?  Will ships off load at another port?

[StLouisCruisers]

They will have to remain onboard until the ship can safely proceed to Port Everglades, I would think.  This happened to my DD several years ago when their ship couldn't make it into Galveston due to fog.  They had to change flights (3 times in one day) and the ship didn't get into port until a day later.

Rotterdam is another day, can confirm as I’m onboard.

That's 5 months of the year.  Some of us don't have the luxury of that. 

 

I do hope everyone in the area stays safe.

Well, I  live in Fl and it's like the day before Christmas here. Stores are mobbed. I'm in the warning zone. ⚠️

How can you tell in the announcement that it may re-open on the 10th?

[rafinmd]

Beyond is leaving now.

If the Celebrity Beyond is departing now then the port is NOT closed.

 

That Coast Guard document was in government speak and I did not understand.

Closed is not an all or nothing thing but takes place in stages.  The port closed to arrivals at 8AM today and all ships are strongly urged to leave (required except under certain circumstances).  At 8PM no one will be allowed in or out.

Thank you.  "Maybe" on Thursday best wishes with getting home.  I'm hunkered down in a Fort Lauderdale hotel.

We were scheduled to sail out of Galveston a few yrs ago when fog kept our ship from coming back in.  They did get in the same day, but much later than scheduled.  We boarded ship around 8-9PM. 

 

I am just happy they try to keep us safe while at sea.  Hope everyone is safe & the storm blows over quickly.
