Ammu Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Hi, we are sailing from Baltimore to Bermuda on Sept 2nd and now hearing about Hurricane Irma. Any concerns? anyone planning to postpone and there is 80% chance of rain in Bermuda. What would you do in rain? If it rains while on ship and the pool is closed, what would we do? Ammu.

coneyraven Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 First of all ..... no, I wouldn't be worried about Irma ...... if it does come up this way, it'll affect those on the ship AFTER your cruise. As for rain on the ship, in all honesty, I don't know, I've never had that happen.... in normal instances, the captain will try to avoid it if possible, but, there are so many things to do on board, including the indoor pool in the Solarium, I wouldn't worry about it .... As for Bermuda ..... I guess if it's raining, go shopping. At least that's what my wife would do. There's a very nice mall, the Clocktower Mall, real close to the ship. That's the one thing you can never control, whether if it's a cruise or a land based vacation, is the weather ..... At least the captain can maneuver the ship around the rain somewhat, you can't do that on land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 I wouldn't book a cruise to Bermuda in Sept....I am not scared of a hurricane..but with the cruises to Bermuda...you basically cruise there and then spend 2-3 days docked in port..i wouldn't want to take any chance that the weather was going to be bad if I book one of those cruises. I realize that with any cruise you cant control the weather, but with this cruise to one place for 3 days, there aren't many options if weather does get bad. That being said..this hurriance wont affect this sail...but could the next one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammu Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 That sounds good and I feel better. In Bermuda itself, will go there and try to make the most of it.... shopping sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 We are currently on this cruise. The weather has been beautiful (except for departure day) and all is well. Hopefully it remains that way ! We're in Bermuda now...will stay overnight and leave tomorrow afternoon. Very enjoyable and relaxing. ellcee, Boston Babe, DocLC and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wouldn't matter. Either the ship would leave early, or not go there at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monctonguy Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Yup...that's why I wouldn't book it...as a Bermuda cruise is either a cruise to Bermuda or nowhere......lol Other cruises have multiple stops in multiple countries so a change in plans or itinerary isn't as big a deal imho. Glad to hear this one is going ok..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
