When the cruise to the Bahamas was booked, I was a bit leery over going in early August as it was inside Caribbean hurricane season. I monitored the weather reports leading up to the cruise.
The only day of inclement weather during the cruise was when we were in Nassau. It was rainy there, with periods of hard rain, while we were on a bus tour. But we "weathered" it fine.
Now, Hurricane Milton is causing cruise lines to modify or cancel cruises.
Cruise Radio posted:
All eyes are on the Caribbean as Hurricane Milton continues to intensify. The storm is forecast to become a Category 3 or 4 hurricane with winds of 120 mph before making landfall on Wednesday on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
This week, voyages out of Miami, Port Everglades, Palm Beach, Port Canaveral, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Galveston, and Baltimore could be impacted. Florida ports are expected to close depending on Hurricane Milton’s track.
You can check the status of your cruise port here.
If your cruise is affected this week, your cruise line will contact you by email or text regarding any potential changes and cancellation policies.
Below are the updated changes from the following cruise lines. We’ll add itinerary revisions and possible cruise ship diversions as they become available from the operators.
If your cruise has changed, you can let us know here.
