Princess Cruises Update.
Voyage B237
4-day cruise
Updated as of October 26, 2012 at 10pm PDT
We look forward to welcoming our passengers onboard Saturday. As we previously communicated, we made the decision to cancel our call to Bermuda to avoid the worst of the storm with predicted strong winds and high swells. While we make every effort to sail our itineraries as originally planned, the safety and security of our passengers and crew is our highest priority and this decision, while disappointing, is necessary.
We currently expect that we will enjoy a call to Boston, Massachusetts during this cruise. The exact timing of our call will be confirmed once passengers are onboard and is dependent upon weather conditions. The Shore Excursions team will have information on tour descriptions, times, and prices available at the Shore Excursions Desk once the timing of the call is determined.
For those who purchased Princess Vacation Protection and would like to review their options, please contact your travel agent or Princess for additional information. We have limited availability on other ships and itineraries.
For those passengers who are driving to the pier, we have been advised that the parking area at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is prone to flooding. For our passengers who were planning to drive and park at the pier, it is strongly recommended that instead of parking at the pier you make alternative arrangements.
We will continue to provide updates on Princess.com as more information becomes available.

Royal Caribbean International continues to closely monitor the path and progress of Hurricane Sandy to ensure guests enjoy safe and comfortable cruises, and to make certain our ships steer clear of the storm. The safety of our guests and crew is always our foremost concern.
Monarch of the Seas
Due to high winds caused by Hurricane Sandy, Monarch of the Seas' departure from Port Canaveral, Florida, continues to be delayed. Unfortunately, due to the delayed departure, and the time and speed needed, the ship will be unable to call on Freeport, Bahamas. Also, because of our need to prepare CocoCay, Bahamas, for the weather impact, Monarch of the Seas will not call on CocoCay. Once the ship is able to depart Port Canaveral, it will head out to calm waters.
Enchantment of the Seas
Enchantment of the Seas will be unable to call on Kings Wharf, Bermuda, as originally scheduled. Instead, the ship sailed out to sea in an effort to try to find the calmest seas possible.
Jewel of the Seas
Given Hurricane Sandy's current location and projected path, it is likely that Jewel of the Seas' itinerary will be impacted. We will continue to monitor the storm and provide guests sailing on Jewel of the Seas this Sunday, October 28, with additional information on their itinerary once the board the ship tomorrow.
Explorer of the Seas
We encourage guests sailing on Explorer of the Seas on Sunday, October 28, continue to monitor this website for any additional updates.
Norwegian Cruise Line's Website
Hurricane Sandy Update
Saturday, October 27, 2012 at 5 pm ET
At Norwegian Cruise Line, the safety and security of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance. Therefore, the company is closely monitoring the path of Hurricane Sandy and is modifying the following itineraries:
Norwegian Jewel will embark guests in New York as scheduled tomorrow, Sunday, October 28.
The US Coast Guard has advised that it will close the Port of New York as of 6 pm Sunday, October 28. Therefore, Norwegian Gem’s arrival in New York on Monday, October 29 will be delayed and the ship will remain at sea. The Coast Guard has not yet determined when it will re-open the Port of New York. Therefore, guests scheduled to sail on Norwegian Gem’s October 29 sailing are asked to continue to check ncl.com for the latest updates and information. We expect an update on the ship’s arrival and departure times on Sunday evening.
Norwegian Dawn will cancel its call to Portland, Maine on Tuesday, October 30 and instead stop in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Monday, October 29 from 10 am to 8 pm.
Guests on board impacted Norwegian ships will be kept up to date by the ship’s Captain.
We appreciate our guests’ understanding.
Carnival Cruises
HURRICANE SANDY UPDATE – 3:00PM
We continue monitoring the forecasted path of Hurricane Sandy and
keeping in close contact with port officials. As always the safety of
our guests and crew is our number one concern and our ships will
maintain a safe distance from the storm at all times.
CARNIVAL MIRACLE – 10/29/12 DEPARTURE NOW SCHEDULED TO DEPART SUNDAY 10/28/12
The
port is expected to be closed on Monday. In an effort to continue with
the cruise and keep safely away from the storm, the cruise will now
depart on Sunday, October 28. Check-in is scheduled from 2:00PM to
5:00PM, and sailing is set for 6:00 PM from Pier 90.
Due to the short notice, we were unable to reschedule the delivery of
our supplies (food, beverages, etc.) that was planned for Monday.
Unfortunately, we will need to change our itinerary so that we can
receive our provisions at the first port.
Below is the revised itinerary:
Day Port of Call Arrive Depart
Sun New York, NY 6:00 PM
Mon Fun Day @ Sea
Tue Fun Day @ Sea
Wed Port Canaveral, FL 7:00 AM 6:00 PM
Thu Nassau, The Bahamas 11:00 AM 8:00 PM
Fri Fun Day @ Sea
Sat Grand Turk 8:00 AM 5:00 PM
Sun Fun Day @ Sea
Mon Fun Day @ Sea
Tue New York, NY 8:00 AM
Guests
who sail will be treated to complimentary gratuities for the extra day
and will be reimbursed for any additional parking expenses at the
port.
CARNIVAL GLORY – 10/28/12 DEPARTURE HAS BEEN CANCELED Due
to the storm, high winds and tidal flooding are expected in the Norfolk
area. The Norfolk cruise terminal is positioned behind a major flood
gate in the city which will likely close during the day tomorrow. When
this happens, there will be no access to the cruise terminal.
We are sorry to say that we have no alternative but to cancel the
10/28 cruise. Refunds will be processed to the original form of payment
within the next 2 weeks.
We know how much our guests were looking forward to this getaway and
regret the disappointment this has caused. We look forward to welcoming
you on board on another Fun Ship in the near future.
CARNIVAL PRIDE – 10/28/12 DEPARTURE The current
cruise will be returning this evening at 8:00PM and debarking guests
this evening. The 10/28 cruise will sail tomorrow as scheduled.
