Tropical storms shuffle cruise itineraries
As if dealing with one storm is not enough. But cruise lines are having to play roulette with several ships at sea or just heading out. Cruises from Mobile, Ala. and Galveston, Texas, scheduled to head back tomorrow, are staying out to sea longer because of Gustav. This, of course, means that passengers on the next scheduled cruise will also be affected, as detailed at CruiseCritic.com.
Out in the Alantic, tropical storm Hanna is moseying along, disrupting cruises departing Florida for the Bahamas or the Caribbean. Carnival and Royal Caribbean have canceled some port calls in the Bahamas and Grand Cayman and re-ordered itineraries elsewhere. You can't fight Mother Nature, but you can work around her.
