Although, as we have begun to travel more often, we have undoubtedly begun cruising during hurricane season as well. In fact, we have cruised on several voyages during this time period. After surviving one cruise where we dodged both a hurricane and a tropical storm, we created these nine tips you need to know to survive a cruise during hurricane season. If you enjoy the video, please make sure to give it a BIG THUMBS UP! Hurricane season runs from May to November; although, for the Caribbean, hurricanes tend to be more frequent during the later part of the season, late August through early October. Knowing the dates will help you plan your cruise so you are not surprised. Purchasing travel insurance is a must for any trip, but it is essential if you cruise during hurricane season. Having coverage will aid you if your ship changes course, or if you need to alter travel arrangements such as airfare, hotels, or car rentals. Packing and planning accordingly are equally important when you cruise during hurricane season. Having a few additional items in your luggage, such as additional layers and lightweight rain gear, can help if your ship calls on different ports of call. These extra items also come in handy if you encounter bad weather during your trip. Modern weather forecasting has come a long way, so donโ€™t be surprised when a hurricane is in the region and your cruise ship still sails. Most likely, your ship will just alter course choosing a path that evades the upcoming storm.
