Seems to be a front coming down to meet Irene, that could give her a little push, but in which direction?

it looks like it will hit that cold front later in the week and help push it over a little… I'm flying out of DC on Friday… They had a pretty major earthquake earlier this afternoon and they let our class depart a couple hours early to make sure the building is ok…
Just what I need to hear! Not knowing what we may have heard about the earthquake, my son called to let us know he was okay in Leesburg.
However, my 15 yo grandson is riding out Irene, as the cruise ship he is on (thank you, ex-in-laws!) is circling around out in the Bahamas waiting for the seas to calm. Getting this info third hand is unsettling! :worried:
I think it is one of Royal Carribean's - it is a new ship, this is the first cruise out for it. They are/were supposed to be into St Thomas today. My son is getting a root canal at the moment - maybe he'll call back later to clarify...
Thank you for what-ever you can find out... :)
Hope this helps. This informatioin from CruiseCritic.com as of today. http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=4583
Royal Caribbean
Monarch of the Seas will not call on CocoCay, the line's private Bahamian island, Tuesday. The ship, which left Port Canaveral Monday on a four-night Bahamas cruise, is in Nassau today and will spend the next two days at sea before returning to Port Canaveral Friday.
Majesty of the Seas will not be able to call on CocoCay Wednesday. Instead, the ship is sailing directly to Key West, where it will arrive at 4 p.m. on Wednesday and stay overnight until 6 p.m. on Thursday. Majesty is scheduled to conclude its four-night Bahamas and Florida cruise in Miami on Friday.
Royal Caribbean reversed the itinerary for Oasis of the Seas, which left Fort Lauderdale on Saturday for a week-long Western Caribbean cruise. The ship visited Cozumel on Monday; is spending Tuesday at sea; calling on Falmouth, Jamaica on Wednesday; and visiting Labadee, the line's private peninsula in Haiti, on Thursday. Oasis will spend Friday at sea before returning to Fort Lauderdale on Saturday as scheduled.
Freedom of the Seas, which left Sunday from Port Canaveral on a week-long Western Caribbean cruise, is sailing a reversed itinerary. The ship is now calling on Cozumel (Tuesday), Grand Cayman (Wednesday), Falmouth, Jamaica (Thursday) and Labadee (Friday).
Oasis' sister ship, Allure of the Seas, is visiting all the ports originally scheduled on its week-long Caribbean cruise, but in a slightly different order. The ship will visit Nassau, Bahamas on Saturday (August 27) instead of Monday (August 22). Visits to St. Thomas (Wednesday) and St. Maarten (Thursday) will take place as planned.
Royal Caribbean has scrambled the order for Serenade of the Seas' seven-night Southern Caribbean cruise, which left from San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Sunday. The ship is now visiting Aruba (Tuesday), Curacao (Wednesday), St. Kitts (Friday) and St. Thomas (Saturday).

ok - got it - thanx, PO ! It certainly is interesting -
Apparently the group had some rough seas, but tolerated before docking at St. Thomas. At one of the beach parties, then, the crew didn't label the two different containers of kool-aide, and one of the teenage cousins really took a liking to the vat with the rum addition! :nuts:
New Orleans, Take Note...
