AccuWeather's Leslie Hudson reported live this morning from Brevard County, Florida, providing updates on how Tropical Storms Imelda and Humberto are affecting the cruise industry.

Brevard County

Cruise lines operating from Florida have made significant adjustments to their routes in response to rough seas and high surf advisories along the eastern coast. Ships from major operators, including Royal Caribbean, Carnival, and Disney, have either returned to port early or rerouted away from destinations such as the Bahamas and Bermuda. These changes are being made as storms Imelda and Humberto move across the Atlantic, creating hazardous conditions with sea heights forecasted between 7 and 13 feet.

While no full cruise cancellations have been reported, itineraries are being reworked, with some ships adding unexpected days at sea or substituting alternative ports of call. The weather has also caused flight delays and cancellations at airports in Florida and the Bahamas. Cruise lines emphasize the importance of flexibility for travelers during hurricane season, as safety remains the top priority.

Cruise lines reroute ships amid rough seas

Cruise lines say safety comes first, which means many ships are adjusting plans on the fly. On the fly? On the fly. Not on the water. Yeah, I like that. AccuWeather's Leslie Hudson is live near Port Canaveral, Florida with what that means for passengers this week. You've got the AccuWeather rain jacket. Have you had a few showers on you, too? Oh yes. Yeah, it's definitely changing here this morning, Ari. So, you know, if you look at the radar, you can see we're definitely getting some of those outer bands, that outer periphery rotation that's coming in from the north, those squalls down to the south. So I've got my Kestrel here, and it was reading right around 16 miles an hour, so the winds have definitely picked up. We're actually a little bit more landlocked, or a little more tucked in. So currently about 13 to 14, but if I held this up, it's probably going to be around 16 miles per hour wind. And then again, we just got soaked by one of the squalls, and there's definitely more out there. So over my shoulder, you probably can see some of those surfers. We tried to get tucked in a little bit from the weather, but way out there, there's still a good 40 to 50 surfers doing their thing out there, enjoying the increased seas. There is a high surf advisory here in eastern coastal Florida through today, and Bernie was right. He nailed it. He said stay here in east coast Florida, and that's what we did, and we knew the weather was going to be dicey today, and it definitely is dicey for sure as these squalls move onshore. But you can also see way out there, the sea heights are going to be anywhere from 7 to 13, not in our particular shot, but the forecast is 7 to 13 foot seas, so really rough conditions. Here in Brevard County, that high surf advisory is expected to stay through midweek, and it's not just beachgoers feeling the impact. Cruise lines across Florida are altering their cruise destinations as Imelda and Humberto track across the Atlantic. Several ships returned to port early yesterday, including Royal Caribbean's Utopia of the Sea, Carnival's Glory, and the Disney Wish, all cutting trips short to avoid the choppy seas out there. So far, there have not been full cancellations, but adjustments are stacking up. Itineraries are being reworked, rerouting ships away from the Bahamas and Bermuda, swapping out western Caribbean stops, and adding unexpected sea days. The most important thing when you're planning a cruise during hurricane season is that you just remain flexible. Just know that sometimes the original plan of where you were going to go, perhaps a Caribbean island or somewhere in the Bahamas, you may end up in a different location just because the ship's goal, the captain's goal, the onboard team is really just trying to make sure that the ship sails into the safest waters possible. Now the Carnival alone repositioned eight ships this week. Disney shifted their castaway Cay visits and canceled their trips to Nassau. Royal Caribbean also postponed its trips to St. Kitts. The goal with all of these cruise lines is to keep their travelers safe while still keeping their ships out to sea. The ripple effect goes beyond the water, though. Flight delays and cancellations are hitting airports from Fort Lauderdale through the Bahamas as bands of rain and wind move through. And we're also expecting, you know, this to last at least for the next couple of days in this area. Of course, now a meltdown, a hurricane bringing that dangerous surf here in Florida, possible beach erosion as well. And that's what we're going to be watching out for today. So far, there have been no cancellations on those cruises, as I mentioned. But the big key thing they want people to know is if you're cruising this week or if you're going to be out and about in this area, again, check ahead. There are some flight delays in Florida if you're traveling into the state to go to one of the cruise lines. And that is really the only hiccup they're running into. By the way, my winds now about 10 miles an hour sustained on my Kestrel. So definitely a brisk out here. We're getting those squalls and we're expecting those to continue throughout the day today. Reporting live in Port Canaveral, I'm Leslie Hudson. Back to you guys. Someone's trying to get some airtime behind you, Leslie. Yeah, it's got some airtime. Fixing the hair behind you. Yeah, everybody. Yeah. Hi, Mom. Say hi, Mom. Oh, look at the crew. There they come. Hey, guys. Come on through. Hey. How are you? Oh, you're all wet. Good morning. Good morning. Where can we see this? AccuWeather? Yeah, I'm live right now. Oh, please don't. No? Uh-oh. While we're live. But okay. Well, I hope you have a great day. Stay dry. Come on through. Good morning. Yeah, you want to be on camera. Yeah. We sure lucked out, didn't we? It's like amazing. I've lived here since 1977. Uh-huh. I mean, I've lived in the harbor, but this is the first I remember to back-to-back where one actually pulled the other out. I know. Is that amazing? It's good stuff. Crazy, right? Thank you for what you're doing. All right, you guys. Have a blessed day. All right. And cowabunga. Cowabunga. I'll tell you what. Oh, my gosh. I was going to say the Fuji-War effect, but I want to tell you what. Cowabunga sounds a lot better. Cowabunga's way better. Maybe we ought to make a cowabunga effect. I'll have to work on that. Oh, my gosh. Leslie, you're finding the best people. Leslie with the people. I like to lay. No, please don't. You're like, what? Where are you? We're already on. Nothing we can do about that. Okay. Okay. Miss Leslie, great stuff.
