Hurricane Dean Update

Posted by Michael on 08/22/07

The following is the latest information we have regarding the effects of Hurricane Dean:

Royal Caribbean: Freedom of The Seas was the first cruise ship to visit Jamaica after Hurricane Dean with her port call in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. At this point no further itinerary changes are expected.

Carnival Cruise Lines: No further changes have been announced since yesterday.

In addition we are receiving reports of serious damage to Puerto Costa Maya, with the port estimating that it will be closed for 6 to 8 months while repairs are completed. The port estimates that they have lost as much as half of the pier after the community was stuck by the full force of the then Category 5 storm. Damage assessments at Costa Maya continue but at this time there are no reports of casualties.
