One night at the Intercontinental is expensive. Even with using all our IHG points. Three nights…well I’m not going there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He posted three videos this morning to describe what may happen, for each ship in the area. I got it. I still have a Twitter account. I only use it in emergencies. This is an emergency. After watching his videos, I have a question. Appears our cruise, leaving Monday, is safe. Some in my Facebook group is doing a B2B, leaving Friday. Same ports, Nassau and CocoCay. Friday should be fine for embarkation. However, he mentions a probable cruise to nowhere. Knowing the chances of not making either ports are pretty good, would they still set sail?

Rare Ferry_Watcher Posted June 2, 2022 #40 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Watching the videos was fascinating. I live in the Seattle area and our Alaska cruises are not really impacted by storms. Sure, we have the occasional rocking & rolling ships off the coast, or our smaller ships being allowed to sail between Vancouver, BC and the Canadian mainland, and the very rare ship that overnights at the pier in Seattle. But, nothing like what the passengers have to deal with living, working and cruising in hurricane territory. Thanks so much for posting about this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really have gone through the looking glass when we start advising someone to fly into a storm so that they can ride it out for a few days so that they don't have to worry about boarding their cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did exactly that back in 2008 Hurricane Ike in Texas. They were going to close the airport in San Antonio, so I ran over there and managed to switch to an earlier flight 2 days before our Mariner cruise. We had a night layover in Atlanta, but we made it for the cruise. I like adventure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother lived in Sarasota. So he came to Pt Charlotte. And most of us know, Hurricane Charlie slammed Pt Charlotte. That, was an adventure. Now wait for it My brother's name is Charlie😉 Edited June 2, 2022 by John&LaLa 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
