Hi Everyone,
I received this information from Royal Caribbean and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com Tropical Weather Update September 16, 2004 - 10 a.m. Royal Caribbean International continues to closely monitor the path and progress of Hurricane Ivan, in the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Jeanne, in the Caribbean, and Hurricane Javier, off Mexico's west coast. We do this to ensure our guests enjoy safe and comfortable cruises and to make certain our ships steer clear of the storms. We also continue to monitor our operations resulting from Hurricane Frances. The safety and comfort of our guests are always the foremost concern of Royal Caribbean International. Due to damage caused by Hurricane Frances, Royal Caribbean International is currently unable to bring its ships to Freeport, Bahamas; and Coco Cay, Bahamas, Royal Caribbean's private island. Also, Royal Caribbean International's Mariner of the Seas is currently unable to sail into Port Canaveral, Florida, but will resume its normal Sunday departures from there on September 19. In the case of Port Canaveral, a sand bar, 50 feet wide, was created by Hurricane Frances in the channel leading to the port. This has reduced the depth of the water in that area to approximately 20 feet, and the depth of the water in the deepest part of the channel to approximately 30 feet. Mariner of the Seas, which normally sails from Port Canaveral, is one of the largest cruise ships in the world and requires a minimum water depth of 35 feet to safely sail. The channel is currently being cleared of the excess sand and Mariner of the Seas will return there this Sunday Given the locations and projected paths of Hurricane Ivan, Hurricane Jeanne, and Hurricane Javier, we are currently altering the itineraries of several Royal Caribbean International ships. We will update this information three times daily - at 10 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Ships sailing from Port Canaveral Sovereign of the Seas, normally scheduled to depart Port Canaveral on September 13, on a four-night sailing, made that sailing from Port Everglades.

Hi Everyone,
I received this information from Celebrity and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com Tropical Weather Update September 16, 2004 - 3 p.m. Celebrity Cruises continues to closely monitor the path and progress of Hurricane Jeanne, in the Caribbean, and Hurricane Javier, off Mexicos west coast. We do this to ensure our guests enjoy safe and comfortable cruises and to make certain our ships steer clear of the storms. We also continue to monitor our operations resulting from Hurricanes Ivan and Frances. The safety and comfort of our guests are always the foremost concern of Celebrity Cruises. Given the locations and projected paths of Hurricane Ivan, Tropical Storm Jeanne, and Hurricane Javier, we are currently altering the itinerary of one Celebrity Cruises ship. We will update this information three times daily at 10 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Ships sailing from Port Everglades Century, currently on its September 11 sailing, will spend today at sea; make a port call in Key West, Florida, on Friday, and will return to Port Everglades on Saturday, September 18. At this time, no other Celebrity Cruises ships are being impacted by tropical weather. We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions and update this information at 7 p.m. today. |
