Cruise Lines Alter Itineraries for Tropical Storm

Tropical Storm Earl is on its way through the Caribbean right now, and because of that a few cruise lines are altering their itineraries in that region.  The worst of the storm is in the western Caribbean, and it’s positioned to push into the Yucatan Peninsula and Mexico.  According to NOAA, TS Earl is predicted to strengthen, and Mexico has issued a hurricane watch.
