Hate to sound like I don't care about your cruise because I do and I hope
you have a great one BUT, it only threatens your cruise, it threatens the
homes and lives of many of us that live in the possible strike zones. We
aren't terribly worried right now but we are highly concerned and
reviewing
our plans and making sure all of our preparations are done including plans
for evacuation if necessary. Kinda puts life into perspective.

Andrew - the one that destroyed my house - was at just about the same
position.... Look at the interactive storm archive for 1992 at
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/cus...kmap.htmlstory

We will be watching very closely - as will the entire eastern seaboard. I
just hope it's not another Floyd - bouncing along so closely that the whole
coast had to be evacuated. It needs to turn soon, and turn sharply, and
leave all land masses alone!

So, what happened?

Well, I called RCI and, as I suspected, they won't say anything. They
can't
even speculate about what could happen. Looks like I can either cancel
now
and get 75% back for a future cruise or go ahead and fly down on
Thursday
as
originally planned and take a chance at the cruise being cancelled or
delayed by them. We'll see.....

We arrive in PR on Thursday, but what happens if the ship can't dock
or
if
there's a hurricane over the island when we're supposed to sail?
Does
our
cruise insurance help at all? We got the insurance from Royal
Caribbean.

We gambled with hurricane season and we might have lost!!!!


What does the cruise company say?
