Carnival Cruise Skips Jamaica and Passengers Are Furious!

The decision to skip the port was made due to an approaching category 5 hurricane with projected winds of 175 mph that could cause catastrophic damage.

Furthermore, the passenger noted that no compensation was offered for the change in plans.
