I believe it. It hung around Bermuda just long enough so we lost Monday in Bermuda and the Bermudian governement closed all the beaches for Tuesday too even though it was beautiful weather there on Tuesday morning. Beach tours were cancelled for the most part and those that tried to snorkle had pretty obscure water views due to the storms' turbulence. Fortunately my wife and I had been too Bermuda before so I had a chance to lose more money in Blackjack. I believe the captain made a decision in NY that he wasn't going into Bermuda Mopnday even though he said it was
"open possibility." My GPS leaving NYC showed a cruise speed of only 12-13 mph which extrapolates to Tuesday arrival. He would have had to run at 22 MPH at least initially if he thought we might make Monday. He could have been more up-front with us.
