What will they do about food for those 4-6 extra days? Does a week long cruise carry extra provisions for the extra time?

Since a number of passengers got off the boat, they should have extra food there and if they reach a port (any port) they should be able to obtain additional provisions. Cruise lines employ armies of logistics folks for such issues.

Now I'm just looking forward to a couple of days in Mexico with a cool cucumber margarita in my hands.:drink:

Glad to hear you are okay. :drink:

This global worming has to show up somewhere!

I've been told by countless non-scientists that global warming is a hoax perpetrated by China so Al Gore makes money.

They start eating the passengers, weak ones first. The chefs are good though, so they have many innovative preparation techniques. :laughing:

Actually, we went back to Miami Thursday to pick up additional supplies and to let people off who lived in the general vicinity and wanted to get off. We took on 70,000 gallons of fuel besides our other supplies.

The ship is letting us use free internet but phone calls are very expensive. My flight on American Airlines was cancelled and I can not reschedule online. We have to call to reschedule and there is about a 30 minute wait because they are so busy and a 30 minute call would be about $300 so I am hoping when we get back to Miami I can use my cell phone and that all the flights aren't booked by then.

Meanwhile we are forced to suffer by eating such things as steak, lobster, eggs benedict, fresh mango and other fruits.

Can you fly home from Mexico? Do you want to go back to Miami and try to get home from there?

A friends' daughter was on her honeymoon cruise when Harvey hit. They floated around the Gulf for four days before heading to New Orleans to let anybody off who wanted to leave. They caught a flight home from there back home, but still haven't made it back to Galveston to see if their car survived in the parking lot there or not.

So why do you want to go home?
