Narrative:
While deviating around numerous thunderstorms we requested alternate routing around WX. We received such clearance and were handed off to next controller. We checked in with new controller and advised him of our new routing and altitude. He acknowledged but never heard or was passed on the new route. He later questioned our route of flight. Meanwhile, captain was hand- flying the aircraft and the altitude deviated to 500 ft low of assigned. Better handoff procedure would have eliminated route confusion and aircraft on autoplt would relieve workload during such demanding conditions.

Title: ACR DEVIATING FOR WX, REQUESTS ALTERNATE RTING. RECEIVE SAME. ON HDOF, NEXT CTLR ADVISED OF NEW RTE AND ALT. NEW CLRNC NEVER PASSED ON.
Narrative: WHILE DEVIATING AROUND NUMEROUS TSTMS WE REQUESTED ALTERNATE RTING AROUND WX. WE RECEIVED SUCH CLRNC AND WERE HANDED OFF TO NEXT CTLR. WE CHKED IN WITH NEW CTLR AND ADVISED HIM OF OUR NEW RTING AND ALT. HE ACKNOWLEDGED BUT NEVER HEARD OR WAS PASSED ON THE NEW RTE. HE LATER QUESTIONED OUR RTE OF FLT. MEANWHILE, CAPT WAS HAND- FLYING THE ACFT AND THE ALT DEVIATED TO 500 FT LOW OF ASSIGNED. BETTER HDOF PROC WOULD HAVE ELIMINATED RTE CONFUSION AND ACFT ON AUTOPLT WOULD RELIEVE WORKLOAD DURING SUCH DEMANDING CONDITIONS.
