From the Eurodam:

Our Captain has been following this storm carefully in case it started approaching our path down the eastern seaboard. It was never stated, but there was a chance that our ship would have had to change course, and with the cruise near it's end, that would have been difficult for those with flights out of NY.

Now checking all the storms headed for the Gulf!

NATE is in the Gulf now ... way done in the Bay of Campeche... NOT projected to come help out Texas with any moisture at this point, unfortunately
