The storm is supposed to hit Tuesday night and be gone by Wednesday morning.

The Serenade cruise fromBoston to Bermuda is being modified.  We will now stop in Portland on day 2 and Bermuda will be shortened from 3 days to 2 days (Thurs-Fri)
We are only finding out by looking at our apps.  There's been no notification from RC as of yet which is really poor communication on their part.
At least we'll still get time there.

My cruise on Serenade (out of Boston) is 7 days with 3 days in Bermuda (Wed - Fri).

Latest track...
 

We witnessed this happening on Oasis back in 2013.
We were on our way back to FLL, sailing between Florida and Cuba, when we heard "Oscar, Oscar, Oscar".  The ship came to a sudden halt and did a 180 and then stopped again.  When we went over to the rail to see what was happening, we saw the raft with about 12 people on board.  A dinghy was sent out and after about 20 minutes, came back.  As we got underway, the captain announced that they were offered help, but the crew was told that the people just wanted to be left alone.  The Captain notified the US Coast Guard and we asume they were met once they reached US waters.
My wife took quite a few pictures, a few of them attached here.
 

LOL, still would rather be on a cruise than miss a Pat's game.   it is going to be a GREAT year for the GOAT!!  ?

That's only half the question, the other half is Hurricane Jerry which is also tracking towards Bermuda for next Tues-Wed.

I'm at 37, but I'm sure I'm nowhere near being in that chair.  Too old for the middle, too young for the oldest (clowns to the left, jokers to the right.....)

Normally I would be at the game (season tickets for 28 years), but I sold the tickets several months ago.  I'll be on that ship no matter where it's going.

Hey Brian,
The Patriots are playing the Jets at home on 9/22. Be safe.....stay home and watch the game.

2 yrs at this exact same time we were on Anthem that was suppose to go to Bermuda.   48 hrs prior they emailed us and said you are going to NE.  They gave us back 50% pp for the cruise plus 250 OBC if we still sailed. We did.
The funniest thing was there was aa group that had professional t-shirts.  they had it say sailing to Bermuda, and than a line through the word Bermuda replaced with Nova Scotia.  
The funny part for every one on the cruise, was the temps in Bermuda was high 70s, but every stop on our cruise was 90 degrees.  
The last night the storm was making it's way up to NE.  Although the captain did his best trying to skirt the storm,  it was very rocky.  Everybody was walking like they were drunk and the ship had placed the blue bags out at the bottom of every staircase.  We had dinner in the MDR (our table was by the windows).  The waves were so high that they came up 50% of the window and you could easily see the white caps in the dark of the night.  
None of us slept well that night, not because of the ocean being rough, but because at least every 30 mins you were hearing the horn blast.  I had known that going under bridges they would sound the horn, and knew we were skirting the storm.  I remember saying to my group that a.m. how many dang bridges did we go under last night.  Our wait staff said, oh no that wasn't because of bridges it was due to the weather.
OBTW we still say to this day it was probably our best cruise ever.  It sailed 100% occupancy.  Everyone was happy and nice, and so polite on the cruise.  I am talking passengers.  IE people at the pool bar weren't saying I was here 1st.  Going up or down stairs, they would move over to one side single file so people could pass them, would move down a seat in the shows so there were no empty spaces.  Pretty sure that the 50% refund and 250 OBC had a lot to do with people feeling like they won the lottery.  
 For us, we had a balcony.  I recall my husband saying that in the end the cruise cost us @750 in total for 6 nights when you add back in our OBC, how can you do any all inclusive vacay for 125 per night for 2?   My husband up to that point kept saying he wanted to do a land all inclusive.  I looked at him, and said, had we booked an all inclusive Bermuda, they may have refunded us the cost, but we would have not had a vacation.  Here we had a vacation at rock bottom barrel price with perfect weather.

I didn't even know the name of the storm, thanks. Its definitely trouble for our cruise but you might squeak by and have time in Bermuda. Good luck to both of us. ? 

Fellow New Englander here.?
Sailing out of Boston this coming Sunday (9/22), first time out of Boston.  This is a great place to share information and ask questions.

I'm on Serenade leaving Boston 9/22 and scheduled to get into Bermuda 9/25.  It certainly looks like a close call for me.
Latest track has Jerry going past Bermuda between 9/24-9/25 as a tropical storm.  I really don't want to be going to Canada, but not much anyone can do about the weather.  There's still a long time to go, so hopefully the storm changes track and allows us at least some time in Bermuda.  If it's any consolation, Sunday and Monday are supposed to be hot up here in the northeast, so if we head north, we'll get at least one hot at sea day.

My first experience with zip lining was a tree top adventure in Jamaica.  I'm petrified of heights, but decided I had to challenge myself.  We booked the excursion far ahead of time and I had plenty of time to think about it.  I may have backed out, but my 25 yr old daughter (at the time) kept telling me that I would never go through with it.  My pride was at stake.
It turned out to be a frightening but amazing excursion.  We were brought up to the mountains and start a progression of 6 runs with hiking and climbing in-between.  The 1st run was only about 75 ft but each one progressed in length and height.  The last couple were past the point of return.  The only way back was to finish the excursion.  The final run was over 1200 ft long and 200 ft up over a canyon.  We couldn't see the end of the run which went back into the jungle.  While I was gliding along, I actually opened my eyes and took it all in.  Quite amazing.  Unfortunately, for the young lady coming a few people behind me, she screamed and cried the entire way and was in such a panic, she stopped herself about 100 ft short of the platform.  A guide had to hook up and go out to pull her in.
We've zip lined 2 more times since, but none have matched that first experience.

I'm locked in at $48 for next week's cruise.  I'm not going to do better than that.
