Vicente and Willa Impact Bliss

Tropical Storm Vicente 

We set sail from Port of Los Angeles (Long Beach) at 4 PM on schedule. While at dinner, about an hour and a half later, the captain came on the speaker to welcome us on board Norwegian Bliss and to update us on our itinerary for the week. Due to two tropical storms in the Pacific, one which will grow into a Major Hurricane in the next days, the Miami office altered our itinerary. Instead of sailing to the Mexican Riviera, we would make two stops in California (San Francisco & San Diego) and one in Mexico (Ensenada). Safety of the passengers, crew, and ship take precedence at all times, especially during Hurricane Season.

As you can see from the 5 day graphics below, Tropical Storm Vicente will set its eyes on Southern Mexico, while Willa will intensify into a Major Hurricane and head north to our original ports of call.

Tropical Storm Willa

Tropical Storm Willa has rapidly intensified since genesis occurred last night,and it is almost a hurricane. The storm has taken advantage of near ideal environmental conditions and the current forecast shows Willa becoming a major hurricane in a day or so. These conditions are expected to prevail for another couple of days, and that should allow Willa to continue to strengthen rapidly.
