RMM34667 Posted July 18, 2011 Author #9 Share Posted July 18, 2011 It might not even stay at Tropical Storm strenght long. Only effect could be some rough seas for anyone crusing along the east coast. The cruise lines know what they're doing. It is just a reminder that it is that time of year!

Our pump went out in the swamp cooler a couple of weeks ago (yeah in the West we add humidity to our coolers). But that was a quick trip to the store, buy, and put in. We were back in business in under an hour. Stay cool however you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthworm Jim Posted July 19, 2011 #17 Share Posted July 19, 2011 They will not take the ship anywhere near danger.They will change what islands they will be visiting Not necessarily so. I was on the Miracle and we passed within 90 miles of Hurricane Katrina. The storm went a little further south than they expected, and the ship could not head any further south to avoid it because Cuba was in the way. That said, I don't know that it really amounted to any danger. It was definitely a dark, windy, rainy, wavy, stormy, day, but I don't think it was ever dangerous. The outside decks were all closed though. With the stabilizers, and due to the fact the waves were coming at the ship from the aft, it wasn't even rocking the ship too terribly badly.
