Funny thing is that there is no notice on the consumer website. I got that info from the travel agent website.

I've been wondering where we should go to get the information. They don't seem to be on top of it, do they? I'm not sure what Celebrity/Azamara ships are in the Caribbean right now. Do you know?

It doesn't look like the Caribbean will be affected. Bermuda seems to be the bullseye for Bill.
