Travel during hurricane season? Might be a plan!



Hurricane season (June through November) can work to your advantage if you are trying to cruise in the Caribbean.  Prices tend to drop during this time, attracting new and seasoned cruisers with great deals, especially in late August to mid December.  The chances are very slim that a hurricane will affect your plans.  The best advice is to step on board with the right attitude.

Cruise ships are exceptionally safe, they possess sophisticated weather-tracking systems to steer clear of danger and stay in calm waters.  If you plan a cruise during hurricane season, keep track of the weather in the area you are planning to sail.  If it begins to turn nasty, keep in touch with me and I will keep you updated and will advice you of any changes issued with regard to your cruise. 

If a strong weather pattern does wander into your vicinity, your ship will simply change course.  If your itinerary is set for the eastern Caribbean, then your captain will switch over to the western Caribbean port schedule, remain a few days longer at sea enjoying the calm waters or simply change the order in which the ports are visited.  You will not get a refund for missed ports, but you may find a new adventure waiting for you wherever you dock.

New Adventures await!
