My son’s honeymoon scheduled for Jamaica during Dean. Sandals not allowing a reschedule beforehand. Help!
Their honeymoon is scheduled for 18 to 23 Aug at the Sandals resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Hurricane Dean (poss cat 3-4) is due to arrive 19 Aug. Sandals will not allow a reschedule unless their fight from the states is canceled or they are actually present in the resort during a direct hit from the hurricane!! With the “Hurricane Insurance” they purchased, unless they are present or attempt to get there it is useless, a pricey waste. Sandals is willing to knowingly put their guests in harm’s way … encouraging or practically forcing their scheduled guest to go into the hurricane’s path unless they are willing to lose all their money. I would think at this point every attempt would be made to keep people away from the island and the iminent danger. Is there any recourse?
I just read the latest adv from the weather, and I read AT 11 AM…1500 UTC…THE GOVERNMENT OF JAMAICA HAS ISSUED A
HURRICANE WARNING FOR JAMAICA. A HURRICANE WARNING MEANS THAT
HURRICANE CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED WITHIN THE WARNING AREA WITHIN
THE NEXT 24 HOURS. PREPARATIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY
SHOULD BE RUSHED TO COMPLETION.
Check with your hotel again, I think that they changed their mind.
