34.0. "Cruising in hurricane season!?!" by ATSE::FLAHERTY (Just imagine it.) Wed Sep 14 1988 11:22


    I'm leaving Saturday on the Sovereign to Labadee (Haiti),
    St. Thomas, and San Juan.  Has anyone heard what impact
    the hurricane had on these islands?  Am I correct in thinking
    Labadee may be the only one affected?
    
    I'm curious as to what happened (is happening) to those ships
    sailing this week to ports like Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and
    Cozumel.  Would the ships go to different ports or were the
    cruises cancelled?  
    
    I guess this is the risk one takes when travelling during
    hurrican season.  That is why the prices are lower (we are
    saving 23%).

	I haven't heard anything specific on the effect the hurricane but
if you read the fine print on your info from the cruise line they say that
they can cancel or alter the ports of call if "conditions warrant". The
ports you mention, including Labadee which is on the north coast of Haiti,
should not have been effected by Gilbert, so I wouldn't worry. The people
who would know this week are on the Song of America (RCCL) which stops
in Cozumel, Grand Cayman, and Ocho Rios......
