To someone in Bermuda

[hannibal54]

We are suppose to be in Bermuda on Monday October 29. Could somebody who lives there keep us posted on Sandy. We sail out of NYC on Saturday. Thanks.

Will do!

 

If it makes you feel better, it doesn't "feel" like hurricane weather - humidity is pretty low and the temps are in the high 70's. If we get anything, it will probably be another Rafael - lots of rain, not much wind. Time will tell.

 

Safe travels.

Thanks.

There are two potential tracks, and one of them takes it directly toward Bermuda: http://www.weather.com/news/weather-hurricanes/tropics-scenarios-us-threat-20121022?pageno=3

Thanks, I got it!

Thanks for the info. We will have to wait to see what Princess cruises is going to do.

Looks like Sandy has decided to make a turn towards the East Coast instead. Not sure if this will still affect your itinerary. They're predicting rough seas and strong winds for the island this weekend as a result of her passing by so if your ship does sail, you might want to bring some seasickness pills with you (if you are susceptible to that sort of thing).

 

Good luck!

Yes, it now looks like we're going to get hit instead of Bermuda, but I suspect, like sousak78, that you're going to be in for a rough ride. The latest forecast calls for gale force winds, heavy rain, and possibly snow, beginning Sunday morning: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57540360/hurricane-sandy-may-slam-into-u.s-east-coast-as-halloween-week-frankenstorm/

It is now official, we will not be sailing to Bermuda this weekend. They said that they are looking towards the north for a port which means Canada. We would still have to get back to NY next Wed. We were looking forward to it because we had never been to Bermuda.

Same here, was really looking forward to it. Must not have been my year for beautiful beaches, missed HMC in June & now this:(

 

Now I gotta start looking at cruises for next year & hope for better luck.

Fortunately for me, I still have 3 more cruise scheduled for this year. Hoping for better luck.
