CRUISE TERMINAL
Known worldwide as the "Cruise Capital of the World" PortMiami is the global headquarters for five leading cruise lines. But this week, it will become a ghost town as preparations are underway for an unwelcome guest, Hurricane Irma, which is still packing a huge punch.
Cruise lines are scrambling to make alternative plans for the vessels which were supposed to dock at PortMiami over the weekend. See our other post, Hurricane Irma Cruise Ship Impact, for details on modified or cancelled cruise itineraries.
The following information was posted on PortMiami's website:
The Captain of the Port established Hurricane Port Readiness Condition XRAY for PortMiami effective Thursday, September 7th, at NOON (1200hrs). If Hurricane Irma continues its current track, the following conditions will be implemented:
YANKEE: Friday, September 8th at 0800hrs
TUNNEL LOCKDOWN: Friday, September 8th at NOON
BASCULE BRIDGE LOCKDOWN: Friday, September 8th at 1500hrs
