How to Prepare for a Hurricane on YOUR CRUISE. #looming #cruiselife #whisky #braceforimpact #tbatba

We have CARNIVAL PANORAMA coming up on Saturday September 26, 2026 and the STORM CLOUDS ARE BREWING!! Yup, Kids, Hurricane Polo has morphed into a bonafide, Cat 5 hurricane. She’s set to make landfall, potentially, around Acapulco Sunday or Monday. Everyone on the cruise chat group on Facebook is going crazy trying to prep. So what do you bring on a cruise that could hit a major storm? Well, contrary to The Beard’s modus operandi, here is what WE think you should do to prepare. 1) Not much, this cruise line has it handled. 2) Maybe pack some rain gear, and large, zip lock plastic freezer bags. (To store stuff you may want to keep dry) 3) Perhaps some long pants for a wet day. 4) FLEXIBILITY- Storms like this can force the captain or cruise line to alter the itinerary. Some modifications are as simple a later or earlier arrival time at a port, other as drastic as a “Cruise to No Where” as the ship head to deeper and calmer waters away from the storm. 5) Dramamine, Ginger pills, ginger candy, SeaBands, and sea sick patches. As rougher seas are likely, it’s a good idea to have extra preventative measures in plane. 6) A REAL GOOD ATTITUDE. It isn’t the cruise line’s fault, nor is it the fault of the chap at Guest Services. If the boat is too rocky, perhaps you chose a bad vacation idea. It’s a ship, there’s a storm. Just understand that everyone is in the same boat with you. What else do YOU do to prepare for a huge storm at sea? Tell us in the comments!
