I hope they make changes. I don't see it being possible to travel down there.

Yeah thanks for the positive vibes. I am nervous about the rain but it is what it is. I think we'll be fine. A little delay never hurt anyone if that happens. We shall see, but I bet I get on my boat and have a good time. I don't need to be on the deck to drink fruity drinks. LOL

Yeah could be a mess huh. Vacations are supposed to be for stress relief and it's only adding to mine lol.

Yeah weather is hard to predict. Thank you

I'm pretty sure if you're on a carnival transfer bus they won't leave you. Plus if that bus can't make it I'm sure a ton of cars couldn't. I guess you get to be the guinea pig before my trip lol. I wish you nothing but the best. And since I live in Oklahoma I too never really paid much thought to there being weather worries. And man I'm jealous, 11 days? I could sail on a hundred day cruise, I'm sure of it...

I haven't ever had a thunderstorm issue that didn't have snow related to it. Growing up I flew to my dad's in Erie Pa for Christmas, from Florida, and I got to see quite the difference in weather and snow and especially ice can really mess up air plans. On a plane they usually fly above all that and when they need to land they know when to land to avoid the storms. I am sure there are others that may have a different story but this is my experience. I personally don't care to fly the day of, for a cruise because any thing can occur but I have also flown the day of and had no issues. I'd say most of the time we worry more than we need to. But hey you know I am worrying about flooding and that's why I've been posting haha. But really I just wanted to know what streets to avoid and what I may come across during my travels to Houston and Galveston.

I've flown quite a bit and all over the world. I've been significantly delayed and/or canceled for ice/snow and mechanical issues. Never a way to predict the mechanical part but I'm betting no snow or ice shows up.

To you thanks as well. Always love the people that post on here. I think cruise lovers tend to be pretty awesome people.

Wow I must say I really appreciate such a thorough reply to my question. I will check these sites out and follow them closely. I am actually driving from Oklahoma but my fiancé is flying in to Hou Saturday evening. Again, thank you for the reply, much appreciated.

I am slated to leave out of Galveston on the 25th (this sunday) and I of course am tracking the weather. It shows it is going to pour down rain Saturday and Sunday. My question is, how easily does it flood in Houston and Galveston and how likely can a flood alter the plans of the cruise leaving out? I understand no one may really know, but I am just trying to be prepared and have an alternate plan if need be. Thank you...
