We are thinking about chancing it and flying in anyhow if they will allow us to the day before the hurricane hits. No one can predict anything at this point! I'm just wondering why you would want to chance it with a month old!
There really are no specific answers to your questions right now, but you might want to consider scenarios where there is no power, no available hotel space, transportation between FLL and MIA, closed stores Just my thoughts! I would call RCCL, more than likely if the ship comes in late, you will probably get a credit towards another cruise.
If the airline can't fly you there, most airlines will give you a credit towards another flight which you have use it within a year. I would call RCCL and your airline to confirm that though. Your vacation might be ruined but at least you won't be out of all your money. You may make it there on Sunday if your flight is early enough before it gets too windy. But I don't see this cruise leaving Monday looking at the path the storm is going to take. Another option would be to see if you can fly into Tampa, Orlando, Daytona, or Jacksonville and rent a car to drive to Ft.
We'll see. Of course we won't risk our son. There's a lot that can happen with this hurricane's path in the next 48 hours. Maybe it will disappear! I hope so for all the Floridians sake!
We're just trying to get some options thrown around. We can reschedule and my in-laws can as well because we all have flexible jobs that will allow us to do that. We're thinking of just picking another any cruise the second week of December after hurricane season has unleashed it's wrath. My sister and her husband on the other hand are limited on their vacation and are trying to rebook a cruise out of L. My parents will probably go with them just to be nice.
The ship and itinerary just didn't appeal to us. It looks as though this thing may not hit right away. We actually may have time to get down there and get on out to sea. If a storm is coming, listen carefully for notifications from the airline and be flexible for changes in your itinerary. And remember that a large number of highly experienced professionals are working to get you to your destination as close to your planned time as possible.
Facebook Twitter Email. Hurricane season is here: How do airlines deal with storms? Can they fly over them? Does this mean that pilots will fly through the actual eye of a hurricane? Of course not, but once they get above or around the eye, things become a lot less turbulent.
Even air traffic controllers know they can direct flights through a hurricane, but this is not the case with thunderstorms.
Hurricanes are simply not as tall as thunderstorms and, therefore, they are easier for planes to maneuver and fly through. Does this mean that flying over a hurricane is also a good idea? Again, that would depend on what the weather experts say. Flying around and through a hurricane is one thing; flying over one is another. How do airlines deal with situations such as this? These often fly right into the eye of the hurricane. Altogether, these units fill in gaps in data not available from radar or satellite imagery being analyzed by ground staff.
Earlier this year, the NOAA shared that analysis of current and seasonal atmospheric conditions revealed a recipe for an active Atlantic hurricane season in It is now evident that the forecasts were correct. Wired highlights that commercial airlines often collect weather information along their routes.
Above all, reports from planes are second only to satellite when it comes to forecasting weather. This is because most tropical systems are not as tall as standard storms. The tallest part of a tropical cyclone surrounds near the central core of the hurricane.
