Tropical Storm Dorian Closes Coco Cay and changes more Cruises
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides an update regarding the impact of Tropical Storm Dorian on cruise itineraries and airline travel. Royal Caribbean is modifying three itineraries to head toward Mexico rather than San Juan to avoid the direct path of the storm. Additionally, the cruise line is temporarily closing Perfect Day at CocoCay to ensure the safety of the over 400 Bahamian employees living and working on the island. Other major companies, including Carnival and Disney Cruise Lines, are also adjusting their ship locations in response to the weather. While some lines like Princess Cruises do not need to change routes because they are already on safe trajectories, many travelers are facing itinerary shifts. The creator notes that several airlines, such as Delta, American, and Southwest, are offering fee-free waivers for flights to affected areas like San Juan. However, the creator cautions travelers to check specific stipulations, such as time limits on when new bookings must be used. The video concludes by emphasizing that these changes are made for passenger safety to avoid high winds and rough seas.
