Creator's Key Takeaways

If you choose to cancel due to this particular storm, you are subject to penalty. The only way that you will get a full refund is if the cruise line can entirely cancels this cruise

It's a gamble every single time that you choose to book for a cheaper rate because from my experience November, October, and towards the end of September are the cheaper cruise rates

The ship will still be there because per policy, the ship cannot leave you as long as you book through them. If you were to book an excursion outside of the cruise line... I promise you, your ship will not be there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book excursions through the cruise line rather than third parties to ensure the ship waits for you if you are delayed.

✓Contact your cruise line directly for specific details regarding itinerary changes and cancellation penalties.

✓Be patient and understanding with cruise staff regarding itinerary changes caused by weather.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cancellation penalties — Understand that you are subject to penalties if you cancel personally; full refunds only occur if the cruise line cancels the sailing.

Missing ports — Expect that the cruise line has the discretion to change itineraries for safety, which may result in spending more time at sea.

YouTube Video Description↓

Have you heard about the damage that Hurricane Melissa is predicted to cause? It is said that Jamaica will get hit with its first CAT5 hurricane this week. This will change a lot of travelers plans and hurt many of the locals of Jamaica. Please reach out to your cruise line for further details on your scheduled itineraries headed for the Caribbean. This storm is predicted to cause devastating damage to Jamaica and possible casualties. All we can do is hope and pray that things don’t go as bad as they’re saying and if they do—hope and pray that people stay safe from the storm.
