billylen Posted August 2, 2006 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Sailing on the Mariner THIS Sunday. I know she is on the Western iteniary now. As I look at the projected path of "Chris" I am wondering if it will cause a delay in arrival for our cruise. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover Posted August 2, 2006 #2 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Sailing on the Mariner THIS Sunday. I know she is on the Western iteniary now. As I look at the projected path of "Chris" I am wondering if it will cause a delay in arrival for our cruise. Any thoughts? It really doesn't look to good, The long term forcast is putting Chris somewhere around Cuba to south Fl (Keys area) :mad: By weekend, It should be interesting to see what RC does, If they skip Cozumel an add a sea day to take the long route back or wait an see weather or not they can get by it without getting in its way. Either way someone will not be happy. :( I would guess take long way back to keep on schedule! Thats just my Guess. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ1007 Posted August 2, 2006 #3 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Where did you hear that the itinerary changed to a Western Caribbean cruise for the Mariner 8/6 ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted August 2, 2006 #4 Share Posted August 2, 2006 RCI's home page shows an update regarding changes in itineraries due to Chris. Just keep watching that site. ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamrenjer Posted August 2, 2006 #6 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I think the OP was meaing that the right now it is on the Western Itinerary.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover Posted August 2, 2006 #7 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Mariner left PC July 30 Headed to Western Carribbean, In traveling back to PC Sat or Sun the route could be affected by Chris. Which could delay Sept6 sailing to the Eastern Carribbean. I think that is what the op is worried about.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue L Posted August 2, 2006 #8 Share Posted August 2, 2006 From what I saw on the noon news is that the storm is projected to head into the gulf of mexico so it shouldn't affect PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msett1 Posted August 3, 2006 #11 Share Posted August 3, 2006 i love how people say the news said its going here... hurricanes have a mind of there own. Look at the cone and PC is in the cone. That means its possible it could go anywhere in the cone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disneycrazymom Posted August 3, 2006 #12 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Will they know ahead of time if they will have to delay? We leave on Sat. for the Mariner even though it sails on Sunday. Can you believe this is the trip that we booked because Rita kept us from going to Mexico in Oct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billylen Posted August 3, 2006 Author #13 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Well we are off to Orlando this morning...Although hurricanes do have a mind of their own, we have been fairly accurate in tracking "probable" path for the last few years, so I am not worried... I have reservations for this and that in the various islands, but you know what? I am looking forward to going where ever we go! Have fun everyone!

rolloman Posted August 3, 2006 #14 Share Posted August 3, 2006 I think you have no problems at this point Bill. The tropical storm is falling apart as we speak and is far from becoming a hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc cruzer Posted August 3, 2006 #15 Share Posted August 3, 2006 It will be interesting to see when they make the call as to direction for Mariner's route back to Port Canaveral from the western itnerary. Once they get trapped in the Florida straits, it would seem hard to maneuver away from the storm, if it made a change of direction. I guess that's what they get paid to figure out! We are sailing Aug 6, so I'm pulling for the ship to make it back on Sunday on time! Can't wait.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
