Tropical Storm Fay is causing some changes to several Western Caribbean cruises so far. Carnival changed ports for two of its vessels –Carnival Valor, which sails Sunday from Miami, and Carnival Inspiration, which sails Monday from Tampa.
However, lines are monitoring the storm which is expected to pass over the western portion of Cuba tonight and near the Florida Keys on Monday night. As of Sunday afternoon no other cruise lines announced changes in their Western Caribbean itineraries.
Forecasters expect Fay to strength to a hurricane over the next 24 hours. Fay is expected to skirt the Gulf Coast of Florida and could make landfall near Tampa on Tuesday.
[…] At least two cruises, one departing from Miami and the other from Tampa, have been affected by the storm, according to our colleague Anita Dunham-Potter. […]
Hurricane Fay will cause a lot more trouble than just diverting cruises. It may destroy a lot of New Orleans and Louisiana. I hope it misses most of the country.
