going to turn right just before she gets to Florida and go up the coast all the
way to the Carolinas wreaking havoc all along the way the National Hurricane
Center has released the new projections and she's already at 145 miles an hour
she's a category 4 now she's on her way to perhaps category 5 we'll have to see
what happens here is another picture for you of the islands the private islands
that the cruise lines have and please note this line right here this is where
the hurricane is sort of headed right across and it's going to affect great
stir of key castaway key and coke okay these private islands are not only shut
down right now but they might be heavily damaged look at the purple colored band

bugging out you can see the airport here is right nearby the port the airport is
still open today passengers can get in and get out that is expected that this
airport along with Miami's Airport could well be affected within the next 24 to
48 hours up here at Port Canaveral we have the Disney Fantasy right now import

coming in to offload and pick up passengers and bug out as well this port
could be closed by the end of the day today and all three ports could be shut
down for the next four to five days here is a current picture of where things are
at the the ships in green are Royal Caribbean the ships that are pink are
carnival and they're heading out there avoiding the Bahamas completely and
stirring away from trouble that's what they're supposed to do
Royal Caribbean has mentioned that the navigator of the season mariner of the
seas have of course I'm out of here moved out of here harmony of the Seas
and allure of the Seas they're out there gonna stay out until September the 4th
they're not gonna return to their respective ports the Empress of the Seas
extended its cruise until the 4th of September it's not coming back into port
and all passengers on board the ships are getting a free food and
accommodations and a free use of Wi-Fi for at least an hour to add a carnival
horizon is out to sea she's gonna stay out
none of the ships that are scheduled to come to these three ports will come back
at all for now they'll stay safe and warm calm waters so this is what cruise
lines do that's how they would do it the cruise is going forward cruises are
supposed to start on September the 4th and 5th are going to be shortened
cruises Cruise Lines are offering credits they're offering future cruise
credits as compensation Disney also is doing the same thing all the cruise
lines are taking care of their passengers and making sure they're not
going to get charged for cruise days they can't use and they're gonna be
given additional credits and bonuses for future cruises because of the
inconvenience that right now is the latest on Hurricane Dorian she's now a
category 4 might reach category 545 mile an hour winds she's going to Florida
