Maybe they will see if Dorian clears quicker or else it will be down to a 3 night cruise for us. After seeing what's hapenned in the Bahamas I'm really not all that bothered about missing a few days cruising those peoples lives are ruined. Can you see what it says for allure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do we, as it still looks like a war zone. About 6 miles west of us is beautiful, they still have trees, we have none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on so many years of being together, and kudos for keeping a hopeful outlook despite getting pummeled 2 years in a row! I haven't seen much info on the recovery from Michael, so your experience is very instructive. It also shows how long the Bahamas may take to recover from Dorian. Good luck on your cruise, and, 8 days early, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! Thank you! Fema is still picking up hurricane debris and it has been almost 11 months. So many people lost everything and moved away, so county had to close 3 schools. We had no power or water (city water) for over 2 weeks. We bought a generator and survived with bottle water for everything. The worst was taking a shower and shampooing your hair with a water bottle. A few merchants have repaired or rebuilt but the county is only about 30% rebuilt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshleyDillo Posted September 1, 2019 #780 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) I live about 100 miles from Panama City and we had a lot of minor damage in our area from Michael but still were without power for a week. Orlando is only about 50 miles from Port Canaveral. So the impact of these storms can be very widespread. But my inconvenience for a week was nothing compared to what the counties to my west experienced. I can drive a bit west on the interstate and all of a sudden all of the trees are leveled. It's really surreal. Edited September 1, 2019 by AshleyDillo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattb31 Posted September 1, 2019 #781 Share Posted September 1, 2019 For those of you wondering. Cococay is probably going to escape this relatively fine. Right now, they're probably experiencing winds of about ~50mph, and barring any major unexpected turn south, it shouldn't get much worse than that. There will probably be some damage from storm surge and the occasional hurricane force wind gust. You can check out the NHC's website which has the wind radii https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at5+shtml/220614.shtml?gm_track#contents 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerxspeedy Posted September 1, 2019 #782 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Agreed - It appears that Cococay and Great Stirrup Cay (NCL) will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare orville99 Posted September 2, 2019 #785 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Latest update from captain johnny - we’re sailing north and will spend the next day or so cruising around the south coast of Cuba waiting for word from the coast guard and the pc harbormaster when pc is cleared for commercial ship traffic. He was non-commital on when we would actually get back. The message was that we were still shooting for Wednesday, but he didn’t sound at all confident that would happen. As an aside, when tropical storm Hugo ran back and forth across Florida, pc silted in and it took a week for them to clear the channel. So as long as the beer holds out, we’re on here for the duration. we did take on provisions from mariner while we were in Cozumel today, so all is good.

Rare orville99 Posted September 2, 2019 #786 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Good news - RCL thinks we’re having so much fun that they want us to book the same cruise again next year. As long as they can guarantee me a two week cruise for the price of one - we’re all in😀 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter how well built, an island seeing that sort of wind (along with rain and waves) is likely to see some damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BYOC, however: build your own cabana. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
