Tropical Storm Lee

Tropical Storm Lee is now brewing in the Atlantic Ocean. Lee is expected to be a hurricane by Saturday and could affect some cruise itineraries in the coming days.  I will be keeping a close eye on this storm as it progresses, heading towards the Lesser Antilles. image.png.d819d1cada170c11e08bfce2c8b63b9d.png

Well, Disney Fantasy threw guests yet another surprise. The ship is dodging Castaway Cay due to issues with the propulsion system. Disney Cruise Line has been more than generous with its guests, offering affected guests $250 onboard credit per stateroom. 

Additionally, Hurricane Lee is continuing to impact cruise sailings, including Carnival Venezia's Eastern Caribbean itinerary.

Having watched hurricanes for 40+ years down here in Florida, this is the big one (for the year). Some forecasts say it will turn north & stay at sea. I say too soon to tell, storms this big dominate. It reminds me of Hurricane Andrew back in the 90s, similar track to Lee at this point. Andrew turned north and then straightened out to the east, devastating South Florida after landfall south of Miami. If you have any plans for east coast activities, stay aware of what is going on. 5 day forecasts tend to be fairly accurate, 3 day forecasts somewhat better, none are for sure.

Safe travels

@kefthecruiser I always trust your insight! You have pretty good judgment when it comes to all things cruising. Now we have Tropical Storm Margot brewing behind Hurricane Lee. It looks like Margot won't be much of a threat, but who really knows? As you said, it's a bit too early to know if it will actually make landfall.

@kefthecruiser Itineraries are beginning to shift and cruise guests sailing out of Baltimore are starting to get a little uneasy about their upcoming itineraries. Vision of the Seas cruises out this Thursday, September 14th, but it's not looking very promising. Let's just hope Hurricane Lee veers east! New England needs to keep a close eye on this hurricane.
