Thanks, Kathy! This is exactly the kind of information I needed. I was curious if it had ever happened. I fathomed they would change itineraries to that extreme but didn’t know for certain. While RCCL will do all they can to avoid cancellations, I’m sure it happens in rare occasions. Safety is paramount in these situations! I appreciate the great advice! Sorry you had to live through this. Patience is key in those situations, I’m sure! Now you know and all who read this are in the know now.

I would agree, Voltore. Cruising during the hurricane season is the chance you take. I'm sure all will work out. I've been to both the western and eastern Caribbean. Either would work for me. This will be the first cruise for some of my family and just favor the Eastern side better and was thinking about them and how much they will enjoy the cruise. Thanks for your input. It's much appreciated! Have a great time on your cruise!

Hello all! Hope all is well with each of you and you are safe and sound. We are scheduled to depart on Harmony of the Seas 15 Sept 2019 out of Port Canaveral. I have been stressing about storms around that area or storms around the ports. On average, how often are cruises cancelled altogether because of hurricanes? Do they ever change departure ports because of damage at an original departure port? We are travelling from Australia and have had this trip planned for 1.5 years now. Our family is meeting us in Port Canaveral. It looks like some itineraries have changed over the past week due to Dorian and there may be some changes over the next week or so. I'm just thinking about a worst-case scenario situation such as leaving from Miami instead of Port Canaveral, or even Tampa, or Jacksonville. Maybe leaving on a different date or staying longer. I know there's a lot of information out there already. Finding it is the fun part. Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
