How Have These Hurricanes Impacted The Cruise Industry?....

[global1]

Seems like all the traditional stops on the islands cruise ships make have been decimated. What are the cruise lines doing? What about the people that have booked cruises?

1. BIG damage, imo.

2. Some of my friends were scheduled to go to Puerto Rico next week!

I'm pretty sure that's out the window now. I'm glad I didn't book. I wonder if the airlines will be cooperative though....

5. Good question!

There should be some flexibility there. Should...

3. Its done for the season....

they will try to readjust routes or run casino cruises to no where. I remember some of the cruises from the 80's the damage was still evident on the islands. W/o facilities or ability to service the ships & passengers its going to impact the economy of the entire region. I don't think any islands weren't impacted. I don't think many people want 5-6 days at sea w/o docking somewhere. Perhaps switching to Cancun or other Gulf vacation spots. Even RCI vacation times shares have been severely hit.
