according to the National Hurricane Center, Cristobal is a tropical storm: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo_atl.shtml

But it should have worked itself out by the time the Turandot makes it to Baltimore.

I'm hoping they've got a good system of moving around these storms. Since its hurricane season, I image a few more will pop up as we work our way south

Cool crab cakes! What say we all stretch our sea legs (wheels?) and do laps around the deck? Just don't hit the corners too fast or oops! splash!

Anyone have any idea of how long the ship typically takes from GB to the US west coast? On average, of course...

Thanks! So if I ordered mine on July 18th and I live in Sacramento, I should expect my car to arrive by the second week of September. Perfect!

So who's getting off in Baltimore? (or who's staying on board to PH?) Is it just hunsingeruk who's leaving? Everyone else here looks like they're on the west coast.

i'll be getting off in CA for a long haul across 2 deserts to New Mexico. no offense to anyone getting off in MD, but get your bags packed by the door, settle your tab and get out of the boat!

So it looks like there has been a 1 day delay, as the Turandot was due to arrive at Port Hueneme on 8/9, and now it is 8/10. She should arrive in Baltimore tomorrow
