Wasn´t Kathrina the same cat.

It isn´t probably a very nice feeling at sea!

Not great to be in at sea, but then ships have already avoided this storm. Far worse to be on land, especially in Cuba which has already been battered by storms this year, and where resources are much thinner.

From the Celebrity website this morning:

 

Tropical Storm Paloma - (Miami) - Celebrity Cruises is closely monitoring the path and progress of Tropical Storm Paloma to ensure our guests enjoy safe and comfortable cruises, and to make certain our ships steer clear of the storm.

 

The safety of our guests and crew members is always our foremost concern.

 

Currently, Celebrity Cruises has no ships being impacted by the storm and is not altering any itineraries due to tropical weather.

Today's USAToday cruise Log has a relaltive up-to-date posting on the ships that have rescheduled ports and what the new ports will be. Some ships will not alter ports, but reverse the order in which they visit. I suspect Cruise Critic also has it somewhere, but I saw it when I was reading the morning news online.
