skylock Posted October 9, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 9, 2011 What kind of info do you want? If a storm is hitting a port, you will be rerouted. If there is a storm on your tail, a port may be cut short. If you hear the ship blowing it's horn, get moving back to the ship. For the most part they will avoid the worst of it. Take sea sick pills becasue if it gets real rough, it can be hard to get them on the ship. I have only been sick once, but I have seen may people rolling around on the floor. If you see them putting out the white bags, grab one and put it in your pocket. I knew about 1 min before I needed mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PenguinLife Posted October 9, 2011 #4 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Don't worry too much, this is very late in the hurricane season, most likely any hurricane this time of year will be a weak one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please join me in prayer for it to clear up by then & no more futher developements!! Going with you! Don't fret - if you look at my signature, you'll see my Paradise cruise got rerouted multiple times due to hurricane Charley. Honestly, we were having so much fun on the ship, most didn't even know that Miami was about to get flooded off the map. Carnival found us a replacement port when Grand Cayman wasn't available.

okgirl Posted October 9, 2011 #6 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I frequently cruise during the fall and I've been rerouted several times. I've missed ports 3 or 4 times and been in moderately rough sea's a few times. I have pretty good sea legs, so the rough sea's don't bother me too much. I agree though with a PP to carry a barf bag with you if you see them put out. The ships are large enough to out run the worst part of the weather so I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.

Socref124 Posted October 9, 2011 #7 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Don't fret. We cruise in Oct every year and have only missed one port beacuse of weather, and that wasn't a hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spcopps Posted October 9, 2011 #10 Share Posted October 9, 2011 We sail tomorrow :eek: and seas are pretty high as of now. I watched the weather all week and let me tell you, no need to worry about it just be prepared. A disturbance can pop up anytime, anywhere this time of year as I saw last night, one popped up on the west coast of mexico without any warning to us LOL. Take sea sicks pills with you and enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonicbuffalo Posted October 9, 2011 #11 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Don't worry too much, this is very late in the hurricane season, most likely any hurricane this time of year will be a weak one. Wilma hit Halloween week and it was the most powerful hurricane ever in the Atlantic Basin. Had the lowest pressures ever recorded. Don't say they will ALL be weak this time of year...maybe say usually they are weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waldos Posted October 9, 2011 #12 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Looks like the storms in the Pacific will mostly be further south although it is likely that you will feel some effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilpo Posted October 9, 2011 #16 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Wilma was the worst! I live in SE Florida and even after crossing the state, Wilma was worse than either Frances or Jean! As long as there is no hurricane in Tampa and we actually get to board the ship, I'd be okay with a 7-day cruise to nowhere!!:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi121210 Posted October 9, 2011 #17 Share Posted October 9, 2011 We are leaving on Saturday and I sure hope that we have a good ride for a week. Now I don't know if I could do a 7 day cruise to no where, but I am sure my kids would LOVE a whole week in camp carnival! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted October 9, 2011 #18 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Since there's absolutely nothing any of us can do about the weather (and I personally believe praying about it is rather, um, silly), why worry? Just be prepared if you think you may suffer from motion sickness. And if you have independent excursions booked, and end up being rerouted, they'll know about it. If you get rerouted, there will be excursions in whatever port you end up, if any. If not, you get an extra day at sea to relax (or play). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
