Those who are soon embarking for a Caribbean or Atlantic vacation should be aware that from the middle of August and September is the season of hurricanes and tropical storms, This does not mean that the ship is going to be going up and down like a roller coaster, nor is it going to face the perfect storm. Quite the contrary shipping companies often change itineraries to avoid these atmospheric phenomena, and that its passengers continue to enjoy an idyllic vacation.
If you have a reservation on any boat or itinerary that may be affected by a tropical storm, your travel agent must send you an email advising you of the changes., or directly the company may have done it, so before packing your suitcase, check your spam tray, you are not going to find any surprises.
One thing you should keep in mind is that If the case of cancellation of the trip comes, in general, they do not refund the money unless you made a full-risk insurance in the reservation, in which this clause is, but, as I told you, it is not usual.
You can be completely sure that navigation systems and satellites to which large ships are connected allow them to have a fairly advanced weather forecast on the formation of these phenomena, and there are alternative routes.
Actually this article has been motivated because I read that Tropical Storm Gastón, the seventh to form in the Atlantic, could become a hurricane between Tuesday 30 and Wednesday 1 September, According to the National Hurricane Center (CNH), based in Miami, and I wanted to warn you about these "little winds" that can ruin the holidays, especially also because there are times when planes cannot land or take off and you find yourself blocked at the airport, while your ship navigates placidly on other routes.
