Guests aboard the Disney Dream were given updates from the island.  According to the ship’s crew, the staff on the island was safe and was allowed to go back to their own rooms, instead of staying in the storm shelter.  Regular communications were down on the island, but crew members were allowed to call home using a satellite phone.
