How does Rita effect ships used for temp housing?

Carnival has three ships docked in the Gulf being used as emergency housing for Katrina victims. What effects will Rita have on them? I thought the worst place for large ships is in port.

perhaps they will sail out a bit. I guess the people on the ships could call it a "fun day at sea", but I'm guessing the pool will be closed.

I expect that if they haven't already, the Sensation and the Ecstacy will head out to sea in a direction away from the storm. I see from the webcam that the Holiday is still moored at the Alabama Cruise Terminal in Mobile, so Carnival must feel that it is safe for her to stay there for now.

The Holiday remained at the cruise terminal during the storm. The other two were due to dock in Mobile but the local bar pilots were unable to board them due to high seas so per our newspaper they just rode it out in the Gulf. The Holiday is due to transfer to Pascagoula, MS soon to house the homeless there.
