When the Vero Beach resort closed due to severe hurricane damage the CMs were paid, and given assistance for them and their families during the post storm clean up.

If the eye of the storm misses CC there still will be significant damage. I live on Long Island, NY. Hurricane Sandy “came ashore” in New Jersey. New York City and western Long Island had significant damage with that ‘near miss’. We are still recovering in many areas. So having the eye/center...

MouseinMelbour-Yes that is Castaway Cay. The large island shaped like a ‘7’ is Great Abaco. CC is just west of the southern end of Great Abaco. If you go to Google maps and put in Great Abaco. Then zoom in and you can see where it is. The island is low lying and may well suffer severe storm...

With the possibility of the storm stalling over the northern Bahamas for 1-2 days there will be significant damage on these islands. I hope that the locals will be safe in their homes. Many of the islands are very low lying with the possibility of life threatening storm surge. I pray that...

All ports are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast Guard decides when and if to close a port, not the cruise lines, not the port authority not the businesses. “As of 5 PM Saturday, August 31 the Coast Guard Captain of the Port set port condition at ‘Yankee’ for Port...

In 2004 we were on the Magic after the 2 previous cruises were changed due to storms. PC was closed for several weeks.. As were all the ports in Florida two weeks before our cruise. Cruise lines can not just ‘choose’ to stop at any port that is nearby (except perhaps in a real emergency). There...

With the storm ‘stalling’ over the Northern Bahamas the Dream may not be able to sail north into PC as currently scheduled on Wednesday.

We cruised on the Magic in 2004 when multiple hurricanes hit Florida. Two weeks before our cruise all the ports in Florida were closed due to storms or storm damage. There were 30 ships with no place to go. That 7 day became a 10 day with a port in Galveston to allow passengers to disembark if...

11:00 PM EDT: Hurricane Dorian update. Currently high end Category 4, expected to stall over northern Bahamas which includes Castaway Cay. CC ia located west of Great Abaco Island. This ‘stall’ could last for 2-3 days over the northern Bahamas. This could mean significant damage (wind and...

The earliest time for the USS Arizona is about 8:00 AM. Anyone who said they spent time “waiting around” is very poorly informed. There is so much to see and do besides the movie and boat trip to the USS Arizona. We spent about 4-5 hours there and only a small portion of the time was the movie...

Be aware of the time getting to the pier. You have to be onboard before the mandatory safety drill which is about 4:00.

A number of years ago we were staying in a one bedroom ‘lock off’ at OKW. A family moved into the adjoining studio one afternoon and were rather loudly exploring their room. All of a sudden we noticed that there was banging and rattling of the connecting door on our side. Then there was banging...

When they discuss where the storm will hit they are referring to the center of the storm. This storm is over 500 miles wide. Therefore wherever it hits there will be effects for 250+ miles in any direction. So if the center comes ashore in northern South Carolina there will still be effects of...

I just watched the latest update on the Weather Channel. Hurricane Warnng is up for the Big Island. Hurricane Watch is up for Maui.The storm is very large with hurricane force winds extending many miles out from the center. Stay Safe!

For anyone staying at Aulani now. Hurricane watch is up for Oahu. Ports are closed in Hawaii (the Big Island) and Maui with high winds and rain affecting Hawaii. :confused3 Watch local news and keep informed. The current predicted track takes the storm center further away from Oahu. Take care...

I get it. Now I am thinking “What is next?”. Stay safe. I hope that the trades pick up and keep the vog away

Thanks buffettgirl. :) It may not be “the BIG ONE” but shooting ash 30,000 feet into the air is significant to me. It is tough to get up to date news here on the East coast. We get 1 minute snippets that sometimes have video footage or pictures from days ago. I try to look at the USGS HVO...

Here is the latest status report from the USGS HVO Thursday, May 17 6:33 AM HST: HVO/USGS Volcanic Activity Notice Volcano: Kilauea (VNUM #332010) Current Volcano Alert Level: WARNING Current Aviation Color Code: RED Issued: Thursday, May 17, 2018, 6:33 AM HST Source: Hawaiian Volcano...

I heard about the notice too along with advisory to stay indoors. Stay safe everyone. I also heard on another board that the Sea Princess was headed to Kona today. Maybe they will be diverted after this?

Yes the cruise ships do not dock in Kona. They all anchor and tender their passengers ashore.
