Thousands of passengers on cruise ships this week are getting something they probably didn't expect when their cruises began a few days ago: extra days at sea.
The closure of three major Florida cruise ports Tuesday and Wednesday due to the approach of Hurricane Ian — Port Tampa Bay, Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPort) and Port Canaveral — means that at least five Florida-based cruise vessels won't be able to return to their home ports on Thursday as scheduled to disembark the passengers.
Instead, the ships are spending extra time at sea and at cruise destinations in the Caribbean and the Bahamas.
The voyages that are being extended include this week's four-night sailings of Carnival Cruise Line's 2,052-passenger Carnival Paradise and 2,052-passenger Carnival Elation out of Port Tampa Bay and JAXPort, respectively. Both of the sailings, which began on Sunday and had been scheduled to end Thursday morning, are now morphing into cruises that will last at least five nights.

My daughters family was on one of those cruises. They got two extra days in the Bahamas for free. And their employers were closed for the hurricane so they didn’t miss a thing.
Use common sense, Newbie. And don’t write back to me ever again.

Lost at sea with nothing to do but visit the Buffets
I am SO HAPPY that I don’t have young kids these days. I cannot STAND those Minions! I want to squish them all like bugs!
It was hard enough living through 1,000 viewings of, ‘The Lion King’ back in the day! ;)
Use manners, you sound like petulant child.
Is this a bad thing? “Hey boss, stuck out here on Coco Cay, you need me, send a helo. L8r!”
You don t take a Hint do you. Did DU send you?
Reviewing your original a-holelike message. My original point was DeSantis could have closed the ports because it unsafe or unfeasible for ships to use.
I have lived in Florida for a long time.
In your few messages to me, you write like a drunk and a child. You keep slinging “newbie”. Must be from being in some corrupt union hall. Grow up and get bent.
