With Isaac looming in the Caribbean, there
is some important information to pass along if you are planning on traveling or
going to school.
Isaac's path has already kept some planes
on the tarmac. So far, there have been 11 cancelations in and out of Miami
International Airport. Flights heading to and from the Dominican Republic, St.
Croix and St. Maarten are among those affected. Many airlines are allowing
customers to change their travel plans without penalties.
There are also cruise concerns across the
Caribbean. Carnival Cruise has changed the ports of call for two ships. The
Carnival Liberty will now visit Nassau before returning to Miami on Saturday, a
day earlier than previously scheduled. Carnival Valor will also return to Port
Miami on Saturday. Those passengers will visit Nassau instead of Curacao.
Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Lines
are monitoring the storm but have yet to alter any itineraries.
Parents are also wondering whether school
will be in session Monday. Miami-Dade's superintendent addressed those concerns
Thursday. "I think, by Friday, we will make an announcement regarding the
eventuality of possible closures," said Alberto Carvalho. "It seems
that we're safe for the remainder of this week, but we'll certainly continue to
monitor the situation."
While Miami-Dade expect to make an
announcement tomorrow, Broward and Monroe County schools have not made any
decisions regarding possible closures. When and if we get word on those
decisions we'll pass them along to you.
