Thanks so much Geejay & Bardgal for your replies
My husband was just blown away at all the detailed information you both gave.
We decided to go with Traditional Dining. It's not often we experience dinner with each course served separately.
So glad to hear the balcony is partially covered on the Caribe Deck. Nothing's more relaxing than to stretch out in a quiet spot and watch the sea. We know many don't spend much time in their rooms but we plan to enjoy our balcony. Besides I need the option to pull out of the direct sun from time to time without loosing the atmosphere.
Still not quite sure if we should go the last week of Sept or the first week of Oct. Responses from other cruisers during this time is appreciated. Don't see that date on too many Cruiser's history.
Bardgal, we know it's hurricane season on the East Coast in Sept-Oct but we didn't know that it stretches to the West Coast. Actually our very first cruise was a 4-Day to the Bahamas, we were re-routed and ran from HUGO the entire trip, but we had beautiful weather the entire cruise. So I guess we'll take our chances, but . . .
has anyone ever heard of a cruise line sailing in really bad weather?
Unsafe weather?
That experience may end my cruising days forever.
