Mariner is staying out until Friday afternoon sometime

 

Werent they due back tomorrow morning? A few extra days added on!   I remember Dorian and the folks that got an 11 night cruise on Harmony while mine was reduced to 3 nights lol. What a stressful week that was!     I took the FCC and finally made it to Alaska last year.

Thanks for sharing.  I downloaded the app on my IPhone. Can't believe some people don't drydock their boats. That sailboat flailing in the wind is scary.

I'm supposed to be flying from DFW to MIA on Friday morning, landing in MIA around 2pm, cruising on Allure on Saturday *fingers crossed*

 

I won't drive it, so only way to get there is to fly. It is what it is....it is a nail biter for all involved...but trying to keep things in perspective, feel so bad for the people getting a direct hit. 

WE must be on the same flight, see you onboard or in DFW waiting for new plane or departure. I think the biggest cause for concern is the plane coming from Savanah, GA and not conditions at MIA

Of course not, he just likes the level to be at a certain height for aesthetic purposes I guess, that's why I lol'd.

Oh, I misunderstood. He actually likes the level of the water higher.

TBH, I'm not sure of his specific complaint or preference. He might think it's too high or too low at times.

 

We get along great and he treats my wife and I well (family cruise in GS's last summer went so well he's treating the fam to another on Wonder next June). He just has his idiosyncrasies like all of us.

Originally from Hawaii?  We ALWAYS have Spam in our house.  😁

That stuff is so salty.

Tornado warnings and storm surge advisories have expired here in SE FL. Feeling it for our neighbors to the west. Stay safe neighbors in Naples, Venice, Punta Gorda, Ft Myers, Sarasota and throughout Central Fl.

I suspected as much, we do not even end curfew in Volusia County until Friday Morning at 7 AM...

We board the Harmony on Sunday the 2nd, I think if the port stays in-tact it will-be a go.

My daughter will be getting off on Sunday. Just praying the Orlando airport will have power and they can get home. What a mess. Although she has said the seas are calm. Only day of rain was yesterday in Nassau. They're having a blast! Good luck to you!

Mariner now sailing Saturday and returning Monday.  They are offering either a full refund to cancel or if you sail, a refundable onboard credit for 3 of the days.

[Jkaczanowski]

Independence sailing Saturday to Monday.  3 night cruise shortened to 2 nights.  They are providing us “with the value of 2 days of our cruise fare as a refundable onboard credit” or full refund to cancel.

We buy the low sodium Spam.  Still has the flavor but not not salty at all.

I’ve tried that one too and still to salty for me. It’s weird because I like salt and my husband doesn’t. He doesn’t think Spam is to salty, but yet I do.🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm in NSB and just lost power about an hour ago. Surprised that it lasted that long

Stay safe...been in and weathered many, many hurricanes and survived. I know you'll be alright!

Our condo is in Bradenton, but we are not there.  FPL shows energy usage by the hour and usually the a/c runs 3-4 times a day while we are gone.  It shows no usage since 5 a.m. yesterday, so either low temperatures or no power.  We aren’t there to be uncomfortable, but we got caught with a lot of food in the freezer. We froze a cup of water before we left and put a quarter on top of the ice.  Crossing our fingers that the quarter is not on the bottom of the cup when we return.

The rain bands look to be mostly clear of Canaveral now, but they still have winds. I hope they didn’t have too much damage. 
 

When daylight hits, we’ll see how catastrophic the damage was in Punta Gorda and Ft. Myers. I know the causeway to Sanibel is damaged badly. 😔
