MsMot Posted August 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I was hoping this would fizzle away, but I guess not. Hopefully no itineraries are affected. https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/tropical-depression-five-tropical-storm-earl-hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted August 2, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Every season they will alter itineraries to avoid storms. No reason to think this year will be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted August 2, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Going to affect ships at sea in Western C now. Cayman's and Jamaica today. Outside possibility of Roatan on Wednesday if the storm is wide enough and drifts south a bit.. But it will most likely affect ships scheduled for Belize or Costa Maya (and maybe Cozumel )on Thursday and maybe Friday. If you ship hasn't left the US yet, no frets.

evandbob Posted August 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm in playa del Carmen now beautiful weather. A few more clouds than yesterday Same with wind and waves. Still a glorious day! I'll post if any changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted August 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Just an FYI for those going to Belize in the next week. We were on a cruise 2 years ago in Oct, and a tropical depression had hit the country hard. It had rained for several days in a row before our arrival. ALL the excursions on the Mainland (ruins, cave tubing, etc) were canceled due to high water, washed out roads, etc. The outer island excursions still went out. This wasn't even a hurricane.... just a tropical depression. So if you are going on a cruise that goes to Belize, check out alternate excursions in case yours gets canceled last minute. No one on our ship knew until the night before port, so everyone had to scramble to rebook onboard and it was insane. Just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandbob Posted August 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 2, 2016 BYW, for those who may not know, Playa Del Carmen is directly opposite Cozumel. I watched as a Carnival ship left there yesterday in fantastic clear weather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except maybe if you are on the Liberty scheduled to leave Galveston Thursday and dock at Cozumel on Saturday. I would think that one would be iffy.

Fern Crest Posted August 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Well, this is one of the risks we take when booking a cruise. Just hope people are safe, wherever it strikes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted August 2, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Except maybe if you are on the Liberty scheduled to leave Galveston Thursday and dock at Cozumel on Saturday. I would think that one would be iffy. Maybe, maybe not. Should be over land by Thursday and in and out of the Bay of Campeche by Friday. Circle or path probability doesn't have it come close to Coz or Playa. Roatan looks on the south end with Belize and Costa Maya getting the frontal attack. https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?lat=16.3&lon=-80.8&zoom=6&rad=0&wxsn=0&svr=0&cams=0&sat=0&riv=0&mm=0&hur=1&hur.wr=0&hur.cod=1&hur.fx=1&hur.obs=1&fire=0&ft=0&sl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Original Itinerary: Glory: Miami At Sea Grand Cayman Mahogany Bay Belize Cozumel At Sea Miami Magic: Port Canaveral At Sea Costa Maya Mahogany Bay Belize Cozumel At Sea Port Canaveral Paradise: Tampa At Sea Grand Cayman Cozumel At Sea Tampa So, Glory is missing Mahogany Bay and Belize and is adding Freeport and Nassau.

Carnival Glory is replacing stops in Belize and Roatan with stops in Nassau and Freeport. Carnival Magic will no longer stop in Belize but will now have a fun day at sea.

Rare crewsweeper Posted August 3, 2016 #21 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Interesting that the changes in itineraries were made when they were. But the track now shows TS Earl going over Roatan today, but I don't think any ships were due there and heading toward Planancia with outside northern circle of track around Belize City. But rain squalls and winds cover a pretty broad area. https://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?lat=16.3&lon=-84.4&zoom=6&rad=0&wxsn=0&svr=0&cams=0&sat=0&riv=0&mm=0&hur=1&hur.wr=0&hur.cod=1&hur.fx=1&hur.obs=1&fire=0&ft=0&sl=0 https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/atlantic/2016/Tropical-Storm-Earl?map=sat Gonna be rainy in Coz later today and maybe tomorrow. The Breeze is suppose to be in Montego Bay today. http://www.cruisemapper.com/Carnival-Breeze-location?imo=9555723 But the tracker on this site might not be up to date.

evandbob Posted August 3, 2016 #23 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I'm in playa del Carmen now and we must have been brushed by the storm last night. Got some rain lots of thunder and wind Looking out this morning it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Any ships scheduled for Cozumel should dock as scheduled. Seas look much calmer than yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleg2949 Posted August 3, 2016 #25 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Do they ever cancel cruises? When they change itineraries, do they normally just move your ports to different days or do they actually change the port to another port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
