Major cruise line companies are currently staying out of the path of Hurricane Dorian which results in extended voyages for some and delayed or shortened roundtrips, or itinerary changes for other passengers.
On Sunday, September 1, PortMiami said it was closed until further notice. Port Canaveral closed late Saturday, August 31.
