Well it's a week away from the official start of hurricane season. Here it comes.

Doesn’t sound like much to worry about. 24 hours and I’ll be boarding the Valor!! Tropical depression is the name of a drink I believe!

:-( I thought this was going to be a "Star Wars" thread.:-(

We're in Curacao today, and it is windy, out of the east, 30-45knts. (1knt=1.15mph) so that's breezy;p!

[gerelmx]

40-60% possibilities in the next 5 days to become Alberto

[spleenstomper]

Alright, let’s keep updating as we experience conditions!

 

And, lol, about the Star Wars theme: sorry to disappoint! Lol

With TS Bonnie, we were delayed leaving New Orleans but got to see the mouth of the river in daylight so that was cool

Safe travels to everyone! Lots of schools getting out last week and this week and I'm sure lots of people headed to the Gulf and out on cruises. Hope everyone has smooth sailing and enjoys a great vacation.

Special Tropical Weather Outlook

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

710 PM EDT Wed May 23 2018

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

A broad surface low centered over the southeastern Yucatan

Peninsula has become better defined since yesterday, and it

continues to produce a large area of cloudiness and showers

extending from the northwestern Caribbean Sea across Cuba into the

Florida Straits. Continued slow development of this system is

possible during the next couple of days as it drifts northward near

the Yucatan Peninsula. Thereafter, environmental conditions are

forecast to become more conducive for development, and a subtropical

or tropical depression is likely to form this weekend over the

eastern or central Gulf of Mexico. Regardless of development,

locally heavy rainfall is possible across western Cuba and the

Cayman Islands during the next few days, and over much of Florida

and the northern Gulf Coast during the weekend. For more information

on the heavy rain threat, please see products issued by your local

weather office. The next Special Tropical Weather Outlook on this

system will be issued by 800 AM EDT on Thursday.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

I’ve been through enough of these to know to just go with the flow, board the ship on time and sit back for the best cruise we can have. I’m a weather geek, so I’ll be keeping up with this.

It's a rain storm, so practice dancing in the rain drops.

[spleenstomper]

Yes, rain is the feature of this potential system. I packed ponchos! I love cruising in the rain.

[riclop]

Nothing to worry about.

What is your itinerary?

What is your itinerary?

 

 

 

Leaving out of Galveston 5/26. Jamaica 5/29. Grand Cayman 5/30. Cozumel 5/30. Hoping this this pushes Norton over the weekend and we sail in behind it.

Looks like Belize is getting hammered! Don't expect any land excursions there for next week or two. Our cruise in 2014 had this same problem, rain continuous in Belize for a week washed out many roads so all land excursions (ruins, cave tubing, etc) were cancelled. We ended up on a snorkel boat, in the rain. Just be prepared!

[Matlily]

We are worried we are sailing Sunday on The Breeze from Galveston May 27th to Key West and The Bahamas I guess I have never been on a cruise with no sun! need to bring more money for liquor, Casino and bingo!! uggh so was looking forward to a week long break with laying in the sun. Should we cancel our excursions they are not booked thru carnival we have them to a all inclusive in Freeport 80% thunderstorms and Atlantis in Nassau 80% thunderstorms, will the water park even be open?

[savagemom]

We leave out of Miami on the 26th! Concerned about excursions
