Shari2,<br /><br />The best place to be wihen a hurricane is coming in on a ship, it can move, but the land masses cannot.<br /><br />We enjoy the Mexican Baja.  Have cruised to those cities about 15 times and will be returning again just about a year from now aboard the Mariner of the Seas.<br /><br />San Diego is a very good embarkation port.  We have not done HAL, but have heard nothing but good about it.<br /><br />Bon Voyage,<br /><br />
