Answer 1

Answer 2

They might and issue everyone a full refund. Or they may still go and go to other places. The best thing to do is call the cruiseline and check with them.

Noob Lol Jk...It all depends they will not cancel your cruise they will just send u to a different port and no u will not get a refund or anything and that is only if u will be int he direct way of the hurricane. I have been on a cruise while hurrican katrina had hit but we were far 4rm it but still felt the wates. The water might just be a little rough if it is a big 1 like KAtrina boy will ur ship rock LoL..EAMil me if have more question. I might be young, 15 but i am not new 2 Cruising, im far from it. So seriously if have more questions just email me.  :p

Answer 4

They may re-route the itenerary, or refund your money. Check the cruise lines website for any updates. Happy Cruising!!

Answer 5

Yes, and they will give money back depending how big the storm is or just wait until it's over and then leave.

Answer 6

Check with your travel agent.  If you don't have one then check with the cruise line.  They will change the scheduled stops if there is good chance of a hurricane or tropical storm. They will not put you or their ships in danger.

That's happened to me as well. I was leaving on a ship and the destination was the Bahamas and the hurricane was headed right towards there. We all got onbaord and everything and were updated by the captain every so often, and then he told us that we were not going to go to the Bahamas, we were going to Mexico instead because of the hurricane. If you storm is very strong and headed right where you're headed and the cruise line is sure of it, they may make your cruise to a different destination. Just keep in mind that they can't just show up somewhere, they have to make sure that there is a space available for your ship.

Hope this helps & good luck!!!
