FLL didnt open today...MIA did.

Port of Everglades didnt open today. Dont know about port of MIA.

If Celebrity can't get to FLL then what happens?

Okay you can scream, but then just sit down and relax after you are done. What is the most common advise that is given here on this board, and I know that you have said it more than once yourself, calm down everything will be alright!!! I know that you are getting very close to leaving so start contacting the powers that be and try to stay informed, everything will work out and you are not the only one.

By the way I want to take lots of pictures and take very good notes as Karen and I are thinking about doing this area in 07', it is still on the burner and is being discussed along with one or two others.

ps if you want I will trade some snow for the sunshine :grin:

I saw a report from RCI about Port Everglades on Oct..29th..and they also said they expect to leave on Weds. from Port of Miami

I know your on Celebrity but maybe if RCI expects to leave from those Celebrity will also...

Not sure about what Hotel you were staying at..but a fellow FLL said many Hotels main damage is the windows and water..

I hope your able to sail and have a wonderful time

Hope everything works out for you, Joey! It's got to be hard not knowing what to expect!

I have a hotel its open..as a matter of fact I am trying to clear up that confusion, I now have two reservations to the same hotel.....

AA is now saying that they think?! the airport FLL will reopen thursday, It appears potable water is the problem... I dont know how long i should wait before trying to change flights..

And the ports not open , however the employess were scheduled to report this morning at 8 to start the clean up. ( i got that from dialing a pre recorded message used by employees)

So if we make it I will be amazed, thankful but amazed...But if I may be allowed a side note.. Its really hard to be excited about this voyage when I hear about the biggest storm in 50 years devestaing and still havent heard from Jeff or Miss C and others. What doesnt kill us makes us stronger!

Until later keep smiling after all thats all we can do!

Unfortunately, where Jeff and Cheryl live got hit really hard. We live just south of Daytona Beach so kept a close eye on this storm all day on Monday; we only got top winds of 39mph and 1" of rain, lasting only about 4 hours. They are reporting on our local news stations that it could take 2-4 weeks for people in south Florida to get their electricity back on.

Hoping and praying everyone in south Florida is just fine!

Dawn I really know what you are talking about. MY problems in comparison are minuet at best.

I wanted to call Jeff and check on him, to see if I could bring him anything but I didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t want to use up what precious Battery life on his cell phone, he may have.. So I just pray that he and Miss C are safe and doing well.

We now have booked a separate flight from LAX to MIA just in case FLL doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t open like they think it will. This will allow us to arrive Saturday morning, we also purchased transfers from Celebrity, so we are set If we have to fly into MIA.

In addition we have hotel reservations in FLL so if that airport opens as AA thinks it will Thursday at noon, we have the option of flying in a day early and taking advantage of the hotel and its transfers to the hotel then on to the pier.

Which ever tickets we donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t use we can get credit for our next trip witch will be to Europe. So, hopefully although I have extra money tied up.. I personally needed to make sure I had as many options as possible.

Good luck to all EVERYWHERE and if I can help let me know

Hopefully by the end of December Ã¢â‚¬Å“this whole messÃ¢â‚¬Â will be another great cruise story!

Don't forget to smile!
