Most people vacation during the summer, when schools are closed and the weather is friendlier. And surely, it is hard to not feel tempted to go on a Caribbean cruise, especially since the cost of cruises is usually low. The Caribbean has a hurricane season from about early June to late November so before you purchase your dream holiday it is important to keep some things in mind.
Even if cruise ships are built for safety, they can still be destroyed. Unfortunately, cruise ships have seen their own margin of tragedies in the last ten years or so. Don't let fear get in the way of your vacation plans, but keep in mind that Nature is what it is and you should be aware of it. Cruise ships are equipped with technology that can forecast weather conditions so don't be unduly concerned.
Cruise lines will always but the safety of its passengers first and will never intentionally go through a storm. They can always rewrite their route and skip or change a port of call. And if the weather is severe, they reserve the right to cancel the cruise and offer passengers a voucher for future travel. While understandable, a canceled trip can mean a missed vacation especially if your family's vacation time is limited and not flexible.
Check with the cruise line company or your travel agent for information on changes due to weather. You can also purchase travel insurance, but be aware that most plans do not cover acts of God, so you should read all small print before you buy the coverage.
A storm may not be enough to cancel a cruise and you can still have an enjoyable time. You will still be able to enjoy indoor activities such as shows and classes of different types. You can also bring plenty of reading materials, music and movies for the whole family to enjoy.
And of course, it would be a good idea to bring pills to aid sea sickness. You might encounter rough waters even with nice weather. If you feel sick, the center of the ship is the best place to be, since it doesn't sway as much.
Just to make sure your vacation plans are not going to be spoiled, create a default plan in the event that your cruise is going to be cancelled. Plan your embarkation port as a fun city such as Orlando. Should the cruise be cancelled, you can spend your vacation time enjoying Disney World. Also consider some enjoyable road trip options if the airport at your port city is closed.
If you plan to vacation during the hurricane season, flexibility is key, and you should be ready to have a good time even in unpleasant weather conditions. Consider nice weather a bonus in the off season.
