Creator's Key Takeaways

Cruise lines were much slower to act in this regard despite Citywide shutdowns of public transportation warnings of huge amounts of rainfall and cyclonic winds

Communications from cruise lines were at best broken and delayed and worst non-existent

undoubtedly those in the biggest panic over the past week were those without travel insurance

Cruise Lines pretty much hold all the power and you should go into any booking understanding that

Creator's Tips & Advice

Purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers cruise, flights, and pre/post accommodation
Read the cruise line terms and conditions carefully to understand your rights
Don't assume cruise lines will communicate urgently; seek out reliable sources
Check if your credit card offers complimentary travel insurance and activate it if needed
