Disney Fantasy’s 8/26/2023 Sailing Switches to Eastern Caribbean to Avoid Impacts of Potential Tropical Development in Western Caribbean

Today’s scheduled Disney Fantasy 7-night cruise to the Western Caribbean has been switched to an Eastern Caribbean cruise to avoid a potential tropical system forecast to move near Cozumel and into the Gulf of Mexico early next week.

At this time, Invest 93L, the potential tropical system remains an area of interest, but regardless of development the seas will be impacted by the weather system.

As of the National Hurricane Center’s 2pm update;

Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Eastern Gulf of Mexico (AL93):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure 
located near the Yucatan Channel continue to gradually become 
better organized.  If this trend continues, advisories will be 
initiated on this system later today.  The system is expected to 
move very slowly northward into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico 
during the next couple of days.  Heavy rains are likely over 
portions of western Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
Interests in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, western Cuba, and 
Florida should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
