Creator's Key Takeaways

booking your cruise during Hurricane Season can be a gamble you're going to have lots of flexible travel plans

we had four extra days at Sea where the hurricane went directly over top of us even the eye of the storm went over top of us it was scary but in my opinion it was also a lot of fun

the cruise line does keep a supply of Dramamine and at least on the cruise I was on and several other cruises that got caught in hurricanes that friends of mines have been on they do pass the seasickness medication out regularly and at no charge

I would definitely recommend possibly booking your airline through the cruise line

Creator's Tips & Advice

Purchase travel insurance for hurricane season cruises
Park your car in a safe, enclosed location
Double-check communications from the cruise line before heading to the port
Set an alarm for early morning to use internet/phone when it's less congested
Consider booking airline tickets through the cruise line for easier rebooking

Running out of food during extended days at seaCruise lines carry about a week of food backup and can have additional food flown in by helicopter if needed
Seasickness during rough seasCruise lines provide free Dramamine regularly and switch to plasticware to prevent breakage
Being confined to cabin if conditions become dangerousThis is a possibility, but the captain will brief passengers on conditions and safety measures
