i hate hurricanes! lol
on voyager of the seas in 2005, we got the first hurricane of the season! i was really mad...but the boat didn't rock at all, eventhough the hurricane was 200 miles behind us! And over the summer on crown princess we had tropical storm chris by us so we missed puerto rico and had to make a port of call in la romana..but i guess its for our own safety.

Yup hurricanes are scary stuff. Thats why it is a risk crusing during hurricane season.

Hurricanes are so prevelant in my life since I live in Florida. But, luckily (knock on wood) I haven't had any BAD hurricane hit my house (well, I got some hurricanes but never on the worst/strongest side of one). Ahhh... I don't like hurricanes, we have to make evacuation plans and stuff when we see em coming toward us, the whole experience is just kinda scary.

[Liltennischick09]

lol yea i know I_Live_4_Cruises i havent had any bad ones.. omg i love tropical storms! b/c you just like stay inside and snuggle up with a coffee and a good book and blanket and listen to the rain its soo awesome but like big hurricanes its scary!

[I_Live_4_Cruises]

Yeah, the storms are all good. But it's those hurricanes that freak me out! lol

[Kristina99]

luckily hurricane season is over!!! when i was in Long Beach Island, NJ one year, there was a hurricane and everyone evacuated! we didnt. we were on vacation lol. but there was nothing to do!! no computer!! and no beach!! lol. so we went shopping and watched tv and did hw. it was so cool though!!! like the ocean was AMAZING!! and i love rain.

yeah, hurricane season wasn't to bad this year, luckily. Although on my cruise we were one of the very small amount of ships that changed port of calls because of a hurricane/tropical storm!

nj hasn't had a hurricane for awhile, the last one i remember was hurricane flyod..it poured forever and it was so windy

[girl_next_door]

last time i was at disney world we have to leave a day early because of hurricane wilma. i was sooo mad but i guess it was the best thing to do.

on my 2000 cruise, there was this huge storms and huge waves and everyone was getting sea sick from them. i remember one of the glass cases on the ship fell over and broke. and like everytime i tried to walk i would just move from one side to the other. like i would start to walk on the right side of the hallway but i would like fall over to the left side. it was horrible! and they had barf bags all around the ship!!

and on my 2004 miracel cruise, on the last morning. the boat tipped (not like that one princess thing..) i wasnt awake, it happened right after i went to sleep. everything on my shelves in the morning were off.. and pool water went in the buffet and we couldnt eat in certain parts. and it was a messs! my sister felt it and she said it was crazyyyyyy!

[jersey_girl_at_heart]

hm i know we got a hurricane on the big red boat but im not sure what happened. and on disney magic we went to south carolina, i was crying i refused to dance at the sail away party i was really upset..lol, but we did get to go to cast away cay! and then voyager of the seas the 1st hurricane of the season was 200 miles behind us but you never felt the boat move at all. And crown princess (the ship that took a tip) when i went on it the first 10 day voyage after it tipped i was so nervous..but that boat rocked and we werent near a hurricane although our port of call to pr had to change to dr so avoid the storm.

[I_Live_4_Cruises]

Castaway Cay was so much fun! I wonder what happened to it after all those hurricanes though since I have been there. I heard major damage! :o

[girl_next_door]

i loveeee private islandssss!

[I_Live_4_Cruises]

Yep, it was fun!

[Kristina99]

my parents first cruise (without the kids) was in 2000. during hurricane Michelle. they said stuff was falling off the shelves and EVERYONE was sick. except the kids haha.

and then my last cruise, Noordam, on the way back to NYC there was just rough seas and they had barf bags out. i have yet to become seasick, and i dont think i will cuz i think its fun trying to walk down the hallways!!! cuz really, you are walking straight, but the walls are moving towards you!!!

Kris

[girl_next_door]

haha yeaaaaa. i hate rough seas but i love feeling the boat rock. maybe just not as much.

yet to be seasick toooo =]

[jersey_girl_at_heart]

the problem with leaving from ny/nj, is you have to sail past cape hatteras, and the captain always says its the worst part because the waves get really big...

[I_Live_4_Cruises]

I don't really ever remember really bad waves on any of my ships. hmm... guess I'm lucky

[jersey_girl_at_heart]

any cruise ive been on a hurricane has caused problems.

[I_Live_4_Cruises]

That sucks. lol

[sharpshoota2468]

but i also only go in february.

[I_Live_4_Cruises]

I usually go over the summer, but so far have timed my cruises right. And I don't really have to worry about hurricanes on my next one over New Years. lol, nothing's coming then (hopefully!)

[jersey_girl_at_heart]

well that has something to do with it, lol.
i went on VOS the first week in july
crown princess july 29
and disney magic november and im not sure when i went on big red boat i was pretty young.

but im convinced if i go in a cruise in the winter i will get a hurricane, i told my mom to book one to see if it was true she told me nice try = ]

i had some baddd waves one night the ship said they were 16 ft high. if you stood near the edge that night it felt like you were being sucked off. my cousin had a room with a balcony. and there was salt on their railings

on the crown princess a few sailings after ours, they weren't allowing people by the pool or any outside decks they locked all the doors leading outside because it was so bad.

[Kristina99]

heyyy...it wasnt just me!!! the waves were coming up and hitting the bridge!!!!! thats what i was told by a certain crew member..but idk thats really high!!

Kris

[lutziebaby]

hehe I know!!! I wonder who that certain crew member may have been....
