Cruise Lines Watch Tropical Storms From East to West

Cruise lines are presently keeping a close eye on Hurricane Henriette on the West Coast and Hurricane Felix on the East Coast and altering ship itineraries as appropriate.

An extremely dangerous Category 5 hurricane, Felix made landfall near Punta Gorda, Nicaragua with wind topping out at 160mph. Heavy rain and high winds continue across parts of Nicaragua and Honduras, with deadly flash flooding and mudslides are forecast. Felix will have no affect on the United States.

Meanwhile, as Henriette approached, hurricane warnings were posted for the southern tip of Baja California and tropical storm warnings are in effect for mainland Mexico.

Itinerary status and today's updates for Carnival Cruise Lines and Royal Caribbean International ships are available on CruiseDiva.com.
