I know that hurricane dean will pass by Cancun on tues. I am scheduled to leave on Wed.?

Question

What are the aftermaths? I know that it would have passed by the time I get there..but I am worried about the damaged caused by it. Do you think that the beaches will be destroyed? We have several activities planned, but am unsure if I should rechedule, or change our destination all together. Your thoughts?

Answer 1

what are you nuts? do you think the hurricane will be exactly as predicted.. and will stay for one day or less during the day we want.. I don't think so.. hurricanes are umpredictable..

Answer 2

Just pray that the airport has a place for the plane to land. Sorry, don't mean to sound negative, BUT REALISTIC!

Answer 3

It sounds like your going there.

Ok well I would reschedule cuz sometimes the news could be wrong on what date somethings arriving.

I was supposed to arrive on Tuesday, but Dean has changed my plans. I agree, the locals have experience with Hurricanes, construct homes out of concrete and iron to withstand more than an American home would, but most are probably not financially able to evacuate to very far away. In a time of crisis the people of Cancun will, for sure, be more kind, compassionate and helpful that you can imagine. It's the other American tourists I would not want to be stuck with in a shelter, having to listening to them complain about this and that. Bottom line? Unless it's your calling to spend your vacation as a rescue worker, I think It's best to stay safe at home and give the people of Cancun one less person to have to take care of. All hotel and excursion companies should be willing to refund anyone travelling this week, even without travel insurance. It's the US airline companies that are more difficult to get a refund from. Without travel insurance they will only give you your money back if the your flight is actually canceled, which I'm crossing my fingers that my Tues. Afternoon flight from Houston will be. Otherwise they just give you credit towards another flight. FYI: All the flights to Jamaica today (Sun) were canceled due to airport closure. So far Cancun internation is still open.

Answer 5

after maths are pretty bad, specially with a hurricane category 4... beaches will be in really bad shape,  power outages are the most common problems... I would seriously consider maybe pushing back a few more days or changing the destination if you can... I have lived in key west, and 2 years ago we got some pretty bad hurricanes, some were weak others were strong, but I remember that the town was a mess... no power for days,  water flooding in some areas, beaches were trashed, and garbage everywhere...
