marnie2005 Posted October 12, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 12, 2014 We are on the Bermuda sailing on the Dawn this coming Friday sailing from Boston. Looks like TS Gonzalo may be heading to Bermuda on the weekend. Any ideas where we might end up sailing to if this happens? Anyone ever experienced this.... Really don't want to miss Bermuda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njhorseman Posted October 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2014 You could go to the Bahamas...you could go to Canada...it depends on the timing and path of the storm. You could end up doing what the Dawn did today...sailing in circles near Bermuda until the storm cleared. They ended up docking several hours behind schedule. It's far too early to speculate about the storm's location next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godiva830 Posted October 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I was on the Breakaway in August and got diverted from Bermuda bc of Cristobal and we went to Florida and Nassau. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toad Posted October 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We too are on that sailing and it should be interesting....... I am sure it will be a wonderful adventure at any rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuninWB Posted October 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We were diverted to Nassau a few years back because of a storm in Bermuda. We are on the Dawn the week after you are, so we will be watching anxiously... again. Good luck. Let's hope the storm goes out to sea away from Bermuda.

shellmisi Posted October 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Please not Florida, please not Florida, please not Florida. I thought that diverted Bermuda cruises went north and I didn't know south was a possibility. I don't have it in the budget for one day tickets to Disney and I really just want to be exploring a place that's not Florida. We will have a wonderful time no matter what, but please not Florida. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear their playlands are almost as good as Disney's.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebas030 Posted October 13, 2014 #9 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hi, It might be early to start the speculation...but : Sailing from Boston...I don't know what is the first "escape route" ?? If it is Florida/Bahamas I bet they would have to cancel one port to make up for the distance... Let's continue to monitor this TS... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveOdore Posted October 13, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 13, 2014 We are packed and heading out tonight to get to Boston for the Dawn to BDA on Friday. What's with Canada? We would look pretty stupid in shorts and Tank tops. Would we have to chip through the ice to get in the pool? Hot water freezes faster than cold so the hot tubs are out. What port do you go to? if we divert. We'll take the Bahamas over Canada. We spend more money on drinks around the pool, than drinking tea to keep warm. Marley and rum go better than hockey. NCL might want to fatten up the bottom line...GO South if need be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL might want to fatten up the bottom line...GO South if need be! The new forecast I posted above shows the predicted speed of the Hurricane is now greater, the Island could be hit on Saturday morning...that might let the Dawn going to Bermuda. This week the TS was over Bermuda at 3am Sunday and the Dawn was able to dock about 14 hours later...so if the storm hits Bermuda around 8am Saturday...the Dawn should be able to dock on it's scheduled time of 11am Sunday. In what shape would the Island be ? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LrgPizza Posted October 13, 2014 #13 Share Posted October 13, 2014 In what shape would the Island be ? :confused: Nothing has happened yet, so how can anyone answer this? I'd guess it will be somewhere between no effects whatsoever and utter complete devastation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbryan5 Posted October 13, 2014 #15 Share Posted October 13, 2014 This has me nervous! We will also be on the Dawn this coming Friday to (hopefully) Bermuda. This will be our honeymoon so I really hope we can get to someplace warm! No matter what we will have a great time tho. Won't let it ruin our honeymoon!...

Mr305 Posted October 13, 2014 #18 Share Posted October 13, 2014 So the Norwegian Getaway is on her way to St. Marteen, due to arrive tomorrow.

Rare Lupush Posted October 13, 2014 #24 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hope this hurricane doesn't impact the booze shops in St. Maarten for next week. I'm planning on coming back with quite a bounty of single malt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
