Weather Havoc

September has been a horrendous month for bad weather that has affected the travel industry .
We have seen Hurricane Irma and Jose create devastation in the Caribbean and then then typhoons in the Far East disrupting cruises in and out of Tokyo over the weekend.
We are aware that this is typical hurricane month for the Caribbean but this year has seen immense destruction and uncertainty for future travel plans to the affected areas.
Worst hit has been the small Caribbean Islands from Hurricane Irma followed by Jose and now we hear that a further Hurricane Maria is on the same path .
The pictures we have seen have shown islands flattened by the strong winds leaving homes and communities ruined.
Cruise lines have been rescheduled to avoid these areas but many clients are worried for there future cruises , when will they be fit to receive cruise lines again?
The priority was for guests actually travelling at the time and then imminent departures but understandably we have lost of passengers travelling over the next 12/18 months wondering how this will affect there travel plans .
In the Far East over the weekend we had guests stranded on board cruises in Busan and the typhoon was delaying the ship getting back into port in Tokyo. This means missed flights for lots of passengers and for the passengers waiting to embark they find themselves in Tokyo for extra nights with no accommodation.
Saturday was spent making sure that these clients were safe and all travel plans amended for them as quickly as possible .

We react as quickly as we can to these situations and if you are waiting to hear regarding your future plans please be patient as we deal with those passengers are are caught up in these awful weather storms , its not that we are not interested but we have to act quickly for those passengers that are there at the moment.
