| Tropical Storm Maria |
The Port of San Juan went to condition Yankee last night, which closes the port to incoming traffic. It is likely that they will move into condition Zulu in the coming hours, and order all ships over a certain gross tonnage out to sea.
Currently due in to the Port of San Juan on Sunday are Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas, and the Carnival Victory. At this time, Tropical Storm Maria is forecast to be passing to the north of San Juan on Sunday.
As you can see from the attached satellite image, Maria covers a whole lot of real estate . Tropical storm force winds extend out some 200 miles from the center. However, the NHC tells us that the northeast side of the storm is the worst. While Puerto Rico may get some awfully bad weather, looks like it could have been worse. Maria could have taken a more southerly route.
Niether RCCL or CCL has announced changes in disembarkation / embarkation for tomorrow's scheduled sailings - YET. They may or may not have to. It all depends on Maria.
Royal Caribbean is advising passengers scheduled to sail on Sunday to "monitor the Royal Caribbean website and their airlines for any additional updates regarding the storm and the status of the port." Carnival cruisers should be monitoring the situation as well.
Royal Caribbean is stationing Guest Assistance Agents in baggage terminals B and D at the San Juan Airport.
The itinerary of the Oasis of the Seas has also been adjusted because of the storm.
