A curiosity

Saw this article just now about Carnival Sunrise not being able to go to Bermuda because of bad weather.

The ship ended up just diverting to Charleston before heading back where it came from in NYC. It made me wonder, is the government understanding of things like weather when it come to the law about cruise ships touching a foreign port? Or did Carnival get fined or something for not going anywhere outside the US?

We will probably never know but it just got me thinking.

Great minds etc...were heading for the WC on a 9 day in Nov.

AuntPinkie We have not figured that out yet. We have a 7 day Western booked and paid in full for Nov this year.

My wife is already trying to figure something out now, she has mentioned a 10 day southern which includes Aruba

and at least one of the other ABC islands. I know we will use it soon enough.

We were on this sailing. When we booked it several months back I was a little concerned about hurricane season. We wanted to stay in Manhattan for a few days anyway. We got there 3 days early had great weather in New York and had a wonderful time. Started to realize Bermuda would be affected but just went to have fun and hope for the best. We have sailed out of Charleston and its a lovely city, but it also was not Bermuda. Everyone on Lido deck cheered when the captain announced we would get 100% future cruise credit. I didn't buy the drink package because it doesn't work on day 1 in New York and we had two and a half days in Bermuda. When you just float around for six days drinks and spa visits can add up quick.

In a case like this the cruise lines would usually make a quick stop in Canada in order to comply.
