  1. we went on a disney cruise last december thinking we would miss all the bad weather. boy were we ever wrong! we missed the stop at the cay ad stayed onboard the ship or another day. my wife really was looking forward to our day at the cay but, the weather said otherwise. we even had a near miss because the captain and crew spotted a life boat in the gulf that was floating around. fortunately, the life boat was empty. disney does not control the weather or other things. just like the stop at haiti for royal carribean is now closed because of the “unrest” there!
