Category 5 Hurricane Rips Through Islands, Causing Widespread Damage

WEB Hurricane Dorian has grown into a dangerous Category 5 hurricane with winds of 180 miles per hour, becoming one of the strongest storms to ever hit the Bahamas. The hurricane has caused widespread damage to the islands, leaving many without power and water. Cruise lines have been forced to adjust their itineraries as the storm continues to wreak havoc.

Carnival Cruise Line, Bahamas Paradise, and Other Cruise Companies Alter Plans

Carnival Cruise Line has adjusted the itineraries for numerous ships leaving out of Jacksonville. The company has canceled several cruises and rerouted others away from the path of the hurricane. Bahamas Paradise has joined Royal Caribbean, Disney, Norwegian, and Carnival in suspending cruises to the Bahamas. The cruise companies are monitoring the storm's path and will make further adjustments as needed.

The storm is expected to continue to batter the Bahamas for the next few days, and it is unclear when cruise lines will be able to resume normal operations. Travelers are advised to check with their cruise line for the latest information on their sailing plans.
