Typically yes, they don't want to take any chances . They will play it ultra safe. The main reason being how many helicopter trips you need to fully evac.
250 people on board
18 people per helicopter

I'm leaving for cozumel, belize and honduras today from new orleans.
This should be a decent cruise... I'm excited.

Just got home from a cruise that went to Cozumel, Jamaica and the Caymans. Glad we went when we did.

Looks right for a June storm in the Gulf. Steering currents always push them into Florida.

If one were going to, say, Punta Cana, would this impact such a trip?

what is +PDO?

The "Pacific Decadal Oscillation" (PDO) is a long-lived El Niño-like pattern of Pacific climate variability.

Speak English Doc, we ain't rocket scientists.
Like ENSO (La Nina & El Nino (which are spanish for The Nina and The Nino) the PDO and AMO are indices used to describe the spacial SSTs distributions across the Atlantic (AMO) and Pacific (PDO). Simple put, negative phase is cold and positive phase is warm.
The PDO has been in record warm territory lately but was just in an extended negative phase. We have been in an extended -PDO/+AMO combo and that was a major player in driving the widespread Western drought from Texas to California. As anyone that lives in Texas knows, the drought switch got flipped to "Flood" as the PDO flipped to positive.
The +AMO phase is often times associated with active Atlantic hurricane seasons but there are signs that the AMO is in the process of flipping negative (there is a good bit of debate on this topic). It appears that we have been moving out of an active Atlantic hurricane period and towards an inactive period and the AMO flipping could be a driver for that.
A +PDO/-AMO setup could be very good for American (MAGA?). Research suggest that this combo could produce less drought and less hurricanes.
