What Travelers Need To Know As Hurricane Melissa Nears The Caribbean
Hurricane Melissa has rapidly intensified into a Category 5 storm as it approaches Jamaica and other parts of the Caribbean, according to CBS News.
Celebrity Beyond’s Oct. 26 itinerary will visit the Western Caribbean rather than the Eastern Caribbean, according to the cruise line’s parent company, Royal Caribbean Group. The ship will visit Costa Maya in Mexico, Belize and Roatan, Honduras.
North Charleston-based nonprofit Water Mission has sent a team to Jamaica ahead of Hurricane Melissa to help provide clean water after the storm hits.
As an island country in the Caribbean Sea, hurricanes aren’t new in Jamaica. Hurricanes hovering over the island while continuously dumping rain and blasting Category 4 or 5 winds, however, are a different brand.
