Diamondntherough Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hello all, Just checking in to see if anyone here is schedule to cruise on sept,8th. I'm reading a lot of info on the shorter cruise dates but nothing for the upcoming 7 day or longer, leaving out of port canaveral. Praying that the hurricane passes and all is well in its path.

Bakerette Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 The cruises durning the week of September 8th leaving out of port Canaveral should be able to have people that want to cruise durning that week on any cruise line should be able to make a reservation for that week on the ship that they want to book the cruise for. The info that that is online for the 7 day or longer cruises would be the same information for the shorter cruise dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondntherough Posted September 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Bakerette, I think you misunderstood my question. Let me say it this way. My family is scheduled to sail on the 8th. Will the cruise date be pushed back to monday or tuesday? And shortened like the sailings before the 8th. I'm just trying to get a heads up so we can govern ourselves accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottL Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hey @Diamondntherough , We're sailing on Allure Sept. 8 and right now I don't think there is anything to worry about. It looks like this week's cruises will be shortened but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything is in order by next weekend. I haven't heard anything official from RCCL but all the weather reports/RCCL updates I've seen it looks like everything should be over by Wednesday or Thursday at the latest, which means they should have a few days to get ready for us on the 8th.

Benny Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Sailing on allure sept 8. Saw somewhere propulsion problems again. I am worried about flooding because of hurricane in florida. How do you get from airport to ship if roads are flooded, i am a worrier so thinking of all scenarios.

FManke Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Being that you are about a week out from your sailing, I think you should be ok. The only concerns I would have is that if you were sailing to the Bahamas, they seem to be right in the path of Dorian, from what I saw.

Diamondntherough Posted September 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Thanks to all that gave a response. I pray that all goes according to plan, however Woody Allen said it best. — 'If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.' @ ScottL: We are booked on the harmony of the seas. Should not have an issue getting to the port, fingers crossed. @ Benny: The last report for the bridge was last friday. BREVARD COUNTY • PORT CANAVERAL, FLORIDA – Port Canaveral announced on Friday that the State Road 401 bridge at the Port will only open on the hour until 5 p.m. today (Friday), due to Hurricane Dorian. After 5 p.m., the bridge will be open on demand for transit. @FManke: We are sailing to coco cay the first day. but last update was it had been closed due to the approaching storm. And the itinerary had beed changed for those who sailed last weekend up until this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottL Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 From what I understand the propulsion problems have been an ongoing issue for quite a while, @Benny , unless you heard of something new. We're flying into Miami and we've got a shuttle booked with RCCL to get us to the cruise terminal. Based on the current hurricane trajectory it looks like Miami will miss most of the big stuff and I"m hoping since everything should be calming down by Wed. or Thurs. that the roads will be back to normal by the time we fly in on Sunday morning.

We are scheduled to sail 8 September on Harmony, but we don't know if Port Canaveral will actually be open on the 7th or 8th due to storm and clean-up. Further, we don't know if we can get down there from North Carolina because the hurricane may skirt the coast line. Actually, it all boils down to our cat -- will we be evacuated with the cat, or will our scheduled cat-sitter stay in town? And that isn't something covered by trip insurance....I tell you, I am going to look for better storm travel insurance next time....We remain optimistic that we will manage somehow. Good luck and safe travels to all being affected directly or indirectly! WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the well wishes. Last sept we were in the storms path on carnival. It is our first Royal Cruise so we are looking forward to this new experience.

Safe travels to you and your family as well. See you on board : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJones Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I am on the same Sept. 8th Harmony sailing. I haven't heard/ read anything that suggests departure would be delayed out of Port Canaveral. The only "issue" I can think of may be the condition of Cococay - Royal says they hope to re-open it on the 7th, depending on further analysis of the damage. Since we're scheduled to visit the island on the 9th, there may be a slight itinerary change for our sailing if it has been severely damaged.

We are just trying to be prepared in case there is flooding on the roads to the port, or difficulty getting gas on I-95 from NC. We don't yet know how hard Wilmington, NC will be hit, but we know we can manage tropical storm-level winds. I agree that Royal intends to sail on the 8th. Wishing us all luck in the days ahead!
