Re: Wilma, Category 5 and Breaking Records

As to the cruise, the airport in Orlando closes when winds are expected to be 50 mph or higher. I might worry about the cruise being cancelled depending on the track. I left out of Port Canaveral the day Katrina was hitting S. Florida. We were the only Carnival ship in Florida to leave as they closed Port Everglades and Miami that day. Keep calling the cruise lines. The good thing is if you do get out, the ships are really stable. We had 10 foot waves out of Port Canaveral but didn't feel much at all.
