Ship departed early so we could go ride with the hurricane

Ocean Cay MSC Marine Reserve, Bahamas Did not visit port

Apparently the captain thought it would be more fun to face high seas and 65mph winds, lightning rather than wait for the storm to pass

Thanks for your review. I was lucky last year. We had left right as the hurricane was tailing us. I've mentioned this before, but I'll probably cancel or reschedule the two cruises I booked for next year during hurricane season again. Mostly all the MSC cruises I booked for next year, in Europe, the middle east and also out of Miami were all cancelled for various reasons and had totally messed up my travel plans. I may go back to land travel unfortunately. At least in the next few months I'll be cruising back to back.
