I have a friend whos on track to go on a cruise to the Carribbean Islands on the 14th.
Its still on as far as I know. They may avoid the wind but no services on the Islands....

Like Bermuda.

(58,785 posts)4. Just learned an old friend is on a cruise ship that'd been diverted from Miami
to "Mexico." Communication lost before we knew where in Mexico, docked, supplied, what, so we don't know where she is. On the plus side, it's reportedly a higher-end ship, so not too worried about a Carnival Cruise-type disaster.
MFM008, never been in that situation, of course, but I'd guess your friend would have a good basis for a full refund. It seems unlikely the cruise line will be able to come through with its promises of shopping, side trips, etc.
