Every skipper is free to to do whichever he/she pleases. The game doesn't care. You won't be penalized for not going to your assigned patrol grid, unless you've edited back in the renown award for doing so, and even then you're not losing renown, just forfeiting some you might've gotten if you followed orders.
It's really all a matter of how you enjoy playing the game. If following orders to the letter enhances the realism factor for you and you find that appealing, you can play that way. But if you'd rather ignore orders and head for the richest hunting grounds, you can play that way. Whatever floats yer boat.
I do a little of both. I go to my assigned grid and complete the patrol as ordered. After that, I wing it.
