Ok so I tried to follow all the changes, but I think I missed something. The dream was extended by an extra 2 days, was the fantasy out there a day longer too?
but yesterday, when the dream came in, there was someone operating it...but that was in the afternoon...
this is too early on a sunday for humans i guess..

The horn exchange by the Dream and Fantasy were awesome this morning!
FYI -- we were ported next to the Magic in NYC on 10/2. We were taking NCL Breakaway to Bermuda and were shocked to drive up to parking and see her sitting there. Such a lovely sight.
I'll be interested to hear your take on the Breakaway. I'm going doubly outside my comfort zone - booking a 1) single studio on a 2)mega ship - for Spring Break because frankly it was less expensive than anything else I was finding, especially when it's a "free" (I have an unlimited MTA card, so the actual cost would depend on how many trips I take in a given month) subway ride vs. a plane ride. So as not to take this thread off-course, feel free to PM me.
I will most definitely try to post my trip report and thoughts about the ship this week. I will say that the ship itself was not as overwhelming as I thought it would be since it is so huge and sitting next to the Magic it was huge, but walking from front to aft was less exhausting then walking front to back on the Fantasy, but we did have problems with the amount of people and the layout of the restaurant deck and the guest services/shore excursion/internet deck was very poorly planned. Embarkation and debarkation -- a total nightmare. Not the ship's fault but the port's. If they want to host huge cruise ships with this amount of people, they need to update their port to handle the crowd. More than two hours in lines to go through security and check in, and more than 90 minutes trying to get off the ship, go through the terminal and get out! Sorry, started to get caught up in details. Promise will tell all in a separate thread.

I did get some video (was on the Fantasy as it came into port). Let me know if there's interest, i'll edit it and throw it online.Oooooh I'd love to hear that! Did anyone get a video or recording and if so is it posted anywhere?
They're not required to do anything, if the itinerary changes. Most cruise lines will offer some sort of compensation for PR reasons, but they don't have to.
If it's cancelled completely, chances are there will be some sort of refunding. Whether it's a future cruise credit, actual repayment of the cancelled cruise, or some other combination of things can vary from incident to incident.What if it is cancelled completely?

Yes, Sydney, Nova Scotia had record rainfall yesterday and 117km winds, almost hurricane force. Ironic that the Magic headed north to avoid the bad weather. I hope they are having smooth sailing.
