    So what’s the plan? Just stay with the schedule itinerary for this cruise? Perhaps there’s a plan to have everyone onboard paddle as fast as you all can to out run it at the very last minute? You seem quite calm and relaxed in spite of the devastation it has caused thus far, and that impending doom is lurking just beyond your fantail. Aka, the ship’s aft. So toots get your camera or whatever video recording device you have on hand and start filming. And don’t forget to have a charger with you. You’ll definitely will go viral and increase the number of clicks on your channel!

    We were in Cozumel too on July 2, the weather was great. We crossed the gulf back to New Orleans and the weather was perfect and our captain too never mentioned it.

  • @genesnyder2985

    The pilots are port specific and are experts on the channels in and out of ports and if there are any hazards in the area

  • @obfuscatethecode5696

    Not all ports have pilots, and they are usually for the very tricky navigational areas. The pilot is trained specifically for navigating these large ships into these areas- for example the Panama Canal.

    It's amazing Melissa how much people vary their dress on elegant night. Are used to hate packing a nice dress coat in a compact luggage. The cruise ships are really cool that a lot of times they will offer ironing to get out the creases.

    Did you fly in on the same day as your cruise left? That’s something we’re always advised to avoid as it’s risky
