Predicting more rainfall than before. Bertha sure is taking her time making that northward turn! At least she is now moving at 8 mph instead of just churning in one place.
Hi. Not sure if anyone can help me or not. My parents are on Explorer of the Seas (Royal Caribbean) and are/were headed for Bermuda from NJ. They were schedule to be in port this morning but prior to leaving the captain had told them that Monday seemed an unlikely port day due to he high seas.
Does anyone know of any way to find out whether or not that ship has docked or whether they plan to get in on Tuesday? It's my parent's first every cruise and I fear that they are in a bad situation in terms of poor weather and extremely choppy seas.
