travlin Posted September 2, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I haven't had any experiences with tropical storms. There is a possibility this one will head close to Barbados. Anyone know what Carnival does? I leave Sunday for a Southern Caribbean cruise on the Fascination. https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/where-is-tropical-storm-florence-headed-in-the-atlantic/70005957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbum6264 Posted September 2, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2018 It looks like Florence is headed toward Bermuda... a long way from Barbados (over 2,000 miles away). I wouldn't worry with that forecast. At worst you'd skip a port - or rearrange them. But with the direction they expect Florence to take I wouldn't worry at all.

I guess it didn’t work. It was from Accuweather. There was a link in the first post - about TS Florence heading toward Bermuda. Nothing at all about Barbados, which is what you seemed to be worried about. So still not sure where you got info about Florence heading toward Barbados??

Rare CruisinCrow Posted September 4, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 4, 2018 It's the tropical wave behind Florence that you need to keep an eye on if you're going to the Southern Caribbean.
