eagleatr Posted October 4, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Going on the allure this Sunday and worried it may cancel or be delayed. Flying out of Detroit on Saturday morning.

MizDemeanor Posted October 4, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) You gave yourself the extra day....that will probably come in handy. I am hoping that the ship can sail a bit later than planned even it if makes its way in on time for those who may be impacted by delays in air travel. Fingers crossed for you, lets see how it shakes out, you have eveyone rooting for you! Edited October 4, 2016 by MizDemeanor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone have any onsite to calm a guy down? Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Don't see why it would be cancelled or delayed. We leave Sat on Oasis. By Sat the storm will be in Georgia at the least. Oasis docks in Sat and allure Sunday. Unless there is severe port damage can't see why anything would change.

Ken at the beach Posted October 4, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 4, 2016 By Sunday the storm will be long gone from FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panama Jack Posted October 5, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 5, 2016 To give you an idea of where they think the storm will go, Miami has not cancelled school yet for Thursday but Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach have cancelled Thursday and Friday.

Espn Posted October 5, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I am kind of surprised at some of the posts I have seen on the various threads about this hurricane, and some of those are from people that live in Florida. Just because the storm will not be over Florida on Saturday or Sunday does not mean that your cruise will be fine. There will be trees and power lines down. Who knows if the airport or port will have power and be open. And then you don't know if the hotels will be open either. There will probably be evacuations, so will the workers be able to get back in time to deal with the cruises. This will be a dangerous storm and not just an afternoon shower. Some of the models are now even suggesting the hurricane may move further west and make landfall in Florida. I hope everything goes well for all the people affected, but it is unpredictable. People should plan for the worst and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisemom4752 Posted October 5, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I'm on this sailing too. Also flying in Saturday from Detroit. I have my fingers crossed that all goes well. We've had this cruise planned for 16 months... and I need a holiday! Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joellendixon Posted October 7, 2016 #9 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I'm supposed to be on that ship too, flying into Fort Lauderdale on SAturday. Right now, the airlines and ports are closed and nobody is saying anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefishtwofish Posted October 7, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 7, 2016 We live about an hour north of Miami and storm will be way north by then....we are predicted to have sunny, beautiful weather this weekend!

Can't imagine sitting and just waiting to see what you will do. I am watching weather channel and reading all the threads on here. Hoping and praying for the best for everyone. The latest update just showed that the storm stayed a little off the coast around FLL. (And OP, I am only about an hour south of you, coming your way in a couple weeks for my son to check out UT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising grandma Posted October 7, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I'm on Allure now, and we are going to Labadee tomorrow...captain has reported we will be donating supplies to Haiti. I'm concerned of what will happen Sunday, too, since I'm supposed to be driving a rental car from Ft Lauderdale to Cocoa Beach to get on Freedom the same day! Depends on where the hurricane makes landfall and how much destruction....this is something I had not thought about when planning these cruises.

Kay, you should have better luck getting off Allure on Sunday than boarding Freedom on Sunday. Just be sure to call us on Sunday morning Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll have more information tonight or tomorrow as to where Freedom will dock. I think if Port Canaveral stays shut down, Freedom will dock in Ft Lauderdale, too. Looks like Matthew might make a u turn and hit the Bahamas and Florida again in another five days or so.:eek: our daughter's family are not very happy Matthew is ruining their fall break trip to WDW.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BillOh Posted October 7, 2016 #19 Share Posted October 7, 2016 The port webcam at PE doesn't look too bad today, will get a better look at day break. Marine traffic is showing Allure a couple of hours out of Labadee, maybe we will get a report there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The port webcam at PE doesn't look too bad today, will get a better look at day break. Marine traffic is showing Allure a couple of hours out of Labadee, maybe we will get a report there. I stated IF Port Canaveral stays shut down....that's why Freedom might not dock in Port Canaveral. If there's no power, and the Port remains closed, no ship will come in. They may, if they know it will reopen, keep Freedom and other ships out a couple of days longer. This all depends on how badly Port Canaveral gets hit by Matthew. Four years ago, we were given a five night cruise, instead of a seven night on Allure, because they closed Port Everglades. Other times, ships have docked in different ports after storms, and passengers been given bus transportation to/from. I'm on Allure, and our schedule is to dock at Labadee at 9:30. Captain announced yesterday that the ship will be donating needed supplies to Haiti. Edited October 7, 2016 by cruising grandma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champagne123 Posted October 7, 2016 #23 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Majesty's cruise scheduled for tomorrow departing Port Canaveral has been cancelled. Labadee didn't have storm damage, but other parts of Haiti had major impact from Matthew, with over 200 deaths. It has been on the news non stop. They show the devastation of Haiti. This morning they are concentrating on Florida and there are tons of reporters with "live" reports. The Port Canaveral Webcam is still working also and we see that "live". Thank you for keeping us updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
