Creator's Key Takeaways

your cruise ship will simply avoid the hurricane it'll steer around it and you will only see often just a few waves kind of some stormy cloudy weather maybe at worst

we typically do not care where the ship is traveling to if we're booking a hurricane season cruise

don't place a lot of weight on enjoying your cruise based on where it is supposed to go because it might not get there

if you are looking to reduce your risk of a hurricane impacting your cruise maybe choose a port that's not right on the southern tip of florida

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be flexible with your itinerary during hurricane season
Arrive at the departure port at least a day before your cruise
Choose a departure port not on the southern tip of Florida to reduce risk
Book travel insurance for trip cancellation and interruption
Stay informed about hurricane forecasts before and during your trip
