Hey my friend from across the pond! Don't worry too much about hurricanes and central florida. YES it can happen. YES it happened in 05-06 and it was bad. HOWEVER, statistically speaking, we won't get hit for another 100 years. So are you a betting bunch?

Being from Gloucester originally and now living in Central Florida, I say go for it!

Here is what happens if a hurricane approaches:
the ship may leave at a different time - or from a different place - if there is an approaching hurricane - keep an eye on the forecast and keep an ear out for any changes.

You may be asked to to go Ft Lauderdale to board your cruise - this is where insurance helps - they can get you there.

The boat is big and fast - it can stay out of harms way. If a storm is in Ft laud and Cape Canaveral or both are unsafe -they may keep you at sea a day or two longer or they will go to another state. Again this is where insurance can really be a big help. But they won't just leave you there - they help you make arrangements.

Keep in mind the US loves it tourists and usually they are taken care of - just keep listening to the news and even call the news station if you are stuck or unsure of what to do.

It is very unlikely we will get hit again soon - but it is possible. My family came to visit the day before Charlie and were stuck in the hotel room for days - but it all worked out and we looked at it as an adventure and a chance to tell stories!

Enjoy your cruise!
