Your cruise concerns would be if the storm's path and timing affect embarkation/disembarkation (including your ability to get to the port). Otherwise, if you can get on the ship, you'll still have a cruise, just your itinerary may be slightly or vastly different 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandebeach Posted June 19, 2023 #9 Share Posted June 19, 2023 We have booked several last-minute cruises over the past six years, to avoid being on land if a Hurricane Warning gets posted and we have to do a mandatory evacuation. Each time we have cruised, the storm stays away from South Florida, so I have been telling people that we will keep them safe because we will be cruising most of September. But I never expected this to happen in June! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royal site doesn't give all that much info on this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do consider that -- even if you avoid the hurricane -- you may have a rainy cruise. Consider it in your packing. 1 hour ago, sandebeach said: ... But I never expected this to happen in June! What's really concerning is that its name is BRET, which means we've already passed the "A" name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropical Storm Arlene was around the first few days of June and didn't amount to anything. Hurricane season does officially start on June 1st although the nature of Bret is a rarity.

Wondering what will happen We've had a western Caribbean become Eastern, an Eastern Caribbean become Western, a three day stop in Bermuda become a 28 hour stop, a seven-night cruise become 10-night cruise, lots of changes in itineraries all due to weather. But luckily never had a cruise cancelled. I guess those on the cruise following the one that was extended 3 nights (Oasis 2017) have a different story. The Captain will likely NOT sail into a storm.

Not 1972, but I did have a cruise that sailed out of Pennsylvania impacted by a tropical storm. Nordic Empress in Oct 2001 - spent an extra day in Bermuda due to Tropical Storm Karen stranding us at King's Wharf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M We were on the Oasis cruise after yours that turned into a 4 day but we got refunded the entire fare so that worked for us AND we got to sail on an Oasis class ship with a lot less people. I want to say there were less than 2000 onboard Edited June 19, 2023 by molly361 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did you see after Bret there's already a possible "CINDY" being watched? She's the orange "X" on the National Hurricane Center site map below 🤪 Hopefully both recurve and don't affect anything (like us in FL lol). The Pros over on Storm2K that I look at seem to be pretty "iffy" right now, which is a good thing. I usually don't get excited until they do 😉 If newbies haven't seen it yet, CC has a thread here called the "Hurricane Zone" so cruisers can keep up with anything that might affect their sailings. @Pelican Bill will get busier as the season progresses: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/305-hurricane-zone/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say there were less than 2000 onboard They offered a great deal for us to stay on board. We were B2B with the "non hurricane" cruise prior so we were already on board for 17 nights. They couldn't guarantee the same cabin (I think the offers were all guarantee categories), we didn't want to pack up and unpack for 4 days, so we decided not to take the offer. Glad it worked out for you. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
