I agree with Olivia that there is certainly no reason to panic when we're three weeks away from being in the area. I did just read an interesting post on CC from someone in Australia who was having document problems associated with the cruise. That person wrote:

"Potentially very important news: The TA spoke to a senior Regent person who intimated that a change of itinerary is absolutely being considered as the massive cyclone that's bearing down on north Queensland will almost certainly mean that Cairns and Townsville won't be practical or safe to visit in the aftermath as local services and infrastructed are likely to be severely disrupted. And of course there is also the safety of the ship to consider in such wild weather."
