spleenstomper Posted September 29, 2017 #201 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Maybe the cancellation of jet blue means they are going to consolidate to a few major carriers to cut down on the amount of air traffic. Certainly cruise ships will not wait till 2018 to resume? It was one MPH less than a category 5. If this is true about jet blue and 2018, then it speaks to the level of destruction, and it might be that cruises won't go out of San Juan for 6 months.

Certainly cruise ships will not wait till 2018 to resume? They aren't going to have a choice if people cannot get into SJU to sail from there. They surely will not sail empty as that doesn't make them any money. They need to home port AOS out of FLA and do it quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how do enough people get there to fill what would normally be numerous ships per day, starting in November? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SensFan11 Posted September 29, 2017 #204 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I just checked with my credit card co. I seem to have trip cancellation and interruption coverage. Sounds like we will fall in to at least one of those categories. Last time I take a trip without proper coverage. Good for everyone to check the details on this, because every policy is different. In particular, many credit card trip cancellation coverages have lower $$$ cap on what would be reimbursed. Also - if you're Canadian, many insurance policies kick in if a government advisory has been issued warning against travel to a given country. The Government of Canada continues to advise Canadians to AVOID ALL TRAVEL to Puerto Rico: https://travel.gc.ca/destinations/puerto-rico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leosmom08 Posted September 29, 2017 #205 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I received this email just now from the Marriott Courtyard Isle Verde We are grateful for the outpouring of concern, prayers and well wishes we have received in the past couple of days for our property, staff and island. Thankfully, all our staff and guests during this event are safe. We continue to provide service to current guests and government agencies, that are helping our island to get back on its feet. Even though our hotel sustained some damages, the restoration has already begun. We feel positive that our hotel will be fully operational by Dec. 1 and that the rest of the island might do so as well. During the next 60 days, our staff will focus on rebuilding our property to return better than ever. Therefore, we will proceed to cancel reservations with no penalties. For any special inquiries please contact us at reservations@sjcourtyard.com or sales@sjcourtyard.com. Our entire staff is committed to continue providing the same superb hospitality to all our guests. The resiliency of Puerto Rico has been put to the test. We accept the challenge head on, with our heart and soul, for we will be The Island of Enchantment once again! Sincerely, Jose Padin General Manager Courtyard by Marriott Isla Verde Beach Resort http://www.SJCourtyard.com That is word for word what we received from Hotel El Convento! Except it had an 11/1 date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobal Posted September 29, 2017 #206 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Jet Blue is telling people that the airport is closed to commercial traffic. They have also told one person there won't be a commercial flight until 2018 to SJU where did you see this? who is this person? You seem to be getting some kind of perverse pleasure out of being a prophet of doom over this whole scenario :rolleyes: Whilst it's true many flights are cancelled flightstats are also showing commercial flights in and out of SJU. Take a look on flightradar24 and you can see planes taking off and landing 'live' on their website - just saw a flight land from Orlando and watching AA flight to Philadelphia taxiing to the end of the runway ready for take off. Delta from Atlanta just landed Edited September 29, 2017 by Bobal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiiergirl Posted September 29, 2017 #225 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Just received a text from a friend that has just spoken with some friends in SJU. The friends work at a restaurant very near the Marriott Stellaris. They say they are doing wonderfully....they have phone, power, and food and are looking forward to folks coming. This is "third hand info" I know....but my friend is a very reliable source! Just passing it along FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
