Where Do The Cruise Ships Go During A Hurricane
Some ports may remain closed after a hurricane.
Where do the cruise ships go during a hurricane. The two vessels Royal Caribbeans Independence of the Seas and Carnivals Carnival Vista sailed well to the West of Hurricane Ida over the weekend as they traveled to and from Galveston. Fortune reported that in the wake of Harvey some 15000 people were stranded on four Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise ships scheduled to dock at Port Galveston. But there are rare cases when a cruise must be cancelled.
I wanted to briefly update you on Hurricane Ida. Essentially the elevation of the bottom of the water may change during a hurricane. Depending on where the hurricane moves many cruise ports can be affected particularly the Port of Miami Fort Lauderdale Tampa Galveston New Orleans and even Boston and Norfolk.
Cruise ships sailing to the Bahamas Bermuda Mexico and the Caribbean during hurricane season on both the East and West Coasts of the US. While humans are preparing for the worst or dealing with a storms aftermath so are animals and marine creatures leaving one to ask How do animals and marine creatures. Hurricane season is officially from June 1st to November 30th and during those times hurricanes will sometimes change the itineraries for cruise ships in the Caribbean and the Bahamas.
In 1992 Hurricane Andrew made landfall just south of Miami on a Monday morning. Free cancellation before 48 hours. Of course the cruise line may simply add a few extra days at sea instead.
In addition underwater shifts due to storm-driven sand can create new ground near ports. Ports in Florida New Orleans and up and down the eastern seaboard of the US can all be impacted by hurricanes and other tropical weather systems. While the obvious fall-out from Hurricanes Irma and Maria the twin forces of nature that have roared in the Atlantic this month is the damage wrought to.
Cruise ships tend to stick to destinations where they can avoid bad weather such as the Caribbean in winter and Alaskas inside passage and the Mediterranean in summer but there are exceptions. Is it worth the risk to plan a cruise to the Caribbean Bahamas Bermuda Mexican Riviera or even Canada or New England during hurricane season. Royal Caribbean uses sophisticated technology like the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System GMDSS to track and monitor weather patterns around the world.
