In general cruise ships don’t stay in port when storms are imminent - they sail well away from the storm and put into different ports if possible. Our only experience was in Japan on a Princess ship when our 7 day cruise turned into an 8 day cruise because two typhoons were due to cross our original path. We did two half days in port and then sailed well out into the South China Sea running away from the storms for 6 days. We called it the cruise to nowhere - the ship was half empty because Japanese passengers didn’t even board. Princess refunded our cruise fare, gave us obc and provided wine at dinner which was nice given the cruise contract says they have no liability.
