That would suck. I find it hard to believe that they would turn away revenue but stranger things could/would happen.

If the roads are clear they can send the supplies down the highway a few hours. It will come down to open ports and docking space. On a side note if they dock somewhere else they still need to send the guests back by bus to PC. If people can go one way supplies can go another. If they count the second leg as a new cruise, can they sail from Miami to PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can arrive by Wednesday that's enough time to get to Labadee or Cozumel (again). I just don't think it's worth the trouble for RC to make it happen.

gnr25 Posted September 2, 2019 #916 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Or they could continue the current cruise until the ship is able to dock in Port Canaveral. Even if there are no more passengers still onboard by that point. Bussing thousands of people from PC and Orlando while it is still very windy and rainy with few flights if any happening on Wednesday is not a great scenario. If they were going to have a three night cruise, they might as well just have it go from PC, departing at some point on Thursday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted September 2, 2019 #917 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Disney pushed back to Thursday for arrival at PC now too. Norweigan diverted the Sun to NOLA. Looks like PC is definitely in flux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishgal432 Posted September 2, 2019 #919 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) They could off load at POM or PE. and do a humanitarian effort to Freeport since the dry dock can accomadate oasis class.

I just don't think it's worth the trouble for RC to make it happen. They were already planning on Labadee and they have done it before in the past. I also hate to think about the folks that are headed to the port to get on Wednesday. They might not have been happy before but I’d hate to think about if this happened. 11 minutes ago, John&LaLa said: Email tonight says it is. Also said update tomorrow st 6pm, just like your letter.

Rare A&L_Ont Posted September 2, 2019 Author #921 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Time will tell. Lots of hotels in Miami and flights to Toronto if we need it. I’m not really looking forward to a bus ride back to PC, when I could fly from MIA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labadee was their initial plan for the the Wednesday to Sunday. Fingers crossed. I’d think if they’d get an exception with this Storm. That's only if they start and end the cruise at the same U.S. port, unless they are granted a storm diversion waiver. Otherwise I was thinking that they could return to South Florida, drop you off, then head up to PC empty. Which is why I don't think they will go through the hassle of it even if they can re-provision the ship. The trucks will probably be busy re-supplying the supermarkets. Just seems like a lot of logistics. All just speculation anyway.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would need a PVSA exemption for those disembarking in Miami. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryguy2008 Posted September 2, 2019 #925 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Been quietly reading this thread... To say that I'm jealous of those on board would be an understatement. Kudos though to the team for clearly being upfront and keeping you informed. Enjoy your extended trip! Are they repeating shows still? ie: I assume they're fully treating this like any other regular cruise day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
