Cruise ship travelers can expect Caribbean cruise itinerary changes especially during the Atlantic Hurricane Season, and primarily in September, the peak big storm month in the region. Earlier this month, Hurricane Irma caused ships headed for Amber Cove in Puerto Plata to be diverted. But others are being booked in addition.
Hurricane Maria’s course looks good for the north coast so far, but close monitoring is needed as the storm passes the island.
The Miami-based line on Friday, 15 September 2017, had said Carnival Glory, Carnival Magic and Carnival Conquest had decided to reroute passengers to Amber Cove, Puerto Plata, who were originally booked to Grand Turk.
Carnival Glory is based out of Miami. Carnival Magic is based out of Port Canaveral, Fla., while Carnival Conquest makes its home at Fort Lauderdale’s Port Everglades.
Carnival has announced changes in the cruise ship itineraries due to the effects of Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria that have affected the ports in Grand Turk, San Juan (Puerto Rico), St. Kitts, St. Maarten, among others.
