I have only been on 3 cruises, two to the Caribbean and one to the med. I saw great thunderstorms on two of them but got caught in the wake of hurricane Irene on the third, I spent about 48 hours in my cabins bathroom because it was so rough. Both the Caribbean cruises I went on were with Carnival but I am not sure who I went with on the med cruise because the ship was a converted ferry named the Island Escape in the early 2000's.
