We’re blessed in Jamaica with almost perfect weather year-round, but every now and then, Mother Nature likes to keep us on our toes. Hurricanes in Jamaica are seasonal, and as a result, we know how to prepare for them.

Our Destination Assurance team is actively implementing measures to ensure the well-being of both residents and visitors. For real-time updates or to speak with a live agent, go to visitjamaica.com/travel-alerts.

We encourage you to take all necessary precautions to stay safe. We’ll get through this together.

This is sound advice and similar to what we advise!

NOAA predicted that 2024 will be an above-normal year of hurricanes, with 17 to 25 named storms, eight to 13 of which might become hurricanes.

But, what if you're planning a cruise? What should you do?

🌀 Breaking it down
While veteran cruisers know that fall is a great time to snag a deal on a cruise to the Caribbean or Bahamas, it comes with a caveat: Fall is hurricane season in these regions, and there's a chance a hurricane or tropical storm could disrupt your sailing.

The vast majority of hurricanes occur between June 1 and Nov. 30 of any given year, but the peak period for tropical storms in the Atlantic is the weeks between mid-August and mid-October.

🌀 Are the odds in your favor?
Even during the busiest of hurricane seasons, there will be many weeks without a single tropical storm in the Caribbean or Bahamas. Keep in mind that the Caribbean is enormous in comparison to the size of a typical hurricane.

Of course trying to predict where tropical storms will hit in any given year is a fool's game. But if you're playing the odds, one area that is known for seeing fewer storms on average is the southern part of the Caribbean.

🌀 But what if one appears close to my cruise?
The standard response from cruise lines is to reroute ships in that area to other parts of the Caribbean or Bahamas that are well clear of the storm. This can mean a last-minute change to your cruise itinerary.

🌀 Last-minute tips
-Cruise lines aren't obligated to offer you compensation if they change an itinerary due to weather.
-You won't get a refund if you cancel a cruise to avoid a storm.
-Build wiggle room into your hurricane season travel schedule.
-Travel insurance is key for fall cruises.
-You may experience rough seas.
-Be careful booking shore excursions during hurricane season.

Are you planning a cruise during hurricane season this year?
