suekel Posted January 10, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted January 10, 2018 The tsunami warning reaches Puerto Rico and USVI, they certainly don't need anything else. Hopefully it all fizzles out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulanddarnell Posted January 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I was just on the Carnival Glory last week. We were in Roatan on Tuesday, and there were many cruise ships in the area. Praying that everyone on the islands and the ships are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickEk Posted January 10, 2018 #17 Share Posted January 10, 2018 FYI... if a ship is at sea, a tsunami would be barely noticeable. Docked, it'd be a much different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrivesLikeMario Posted January 10, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I have friends on a cruise in the area and they would've emailed me if there was anything to report. Haven't heard from them so I know all is going well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
