I hope everyone on Bermuda comes through this hurricane safely. It's not good news coming out

Seems like some of the causeway has collapsed, but no-one's going to be out there to give any accurate reports until the worst has passed by.
Pam..wishing them luck

Wonder what cruise ships planning trips to Bermuda were affected by Fabian's track?

I remember being on the QE2 one Labor Day weekend many years ago, and our early evening departure from New York was delayed until the very early hours of the next day so that we would catch only the tail end of a hurricane coming up the East Coast. We arrived in Bermuda, after a very rocky start, but on time. However, another cruise ship heading there had to turn back, and another experienced enough damage enroute that it had to spend an extra day or so in port in Bermuda for repairs. If only we could have spent some extra time there. What a lovely place. Hope the residents are safe.

I would hazzard a guess that Bermuda's cruise season is pretty much finished at this point in time. There is far too much work that needs to be done without having tens of thousands of tourists to worry about for the next month or so.

The Castle Harbour Causeway is shattered, many roads on the South Shore are impassable or destroyed and the airport has sustained major damage.

I agree with SoBeTim. From what I saw on the news, it looks like it is going to be awhile until Bermuda opens up for cruise ships.
