Cayman Islands News, Articles and InformationA win-wind propositionSeven-day cruises for $500 to $600 in September. Fifty percent off a companion's room at an inclusive club on a Caribbean island. A fourth night free at a luxurious resort in the Bahamas.That's good. But many travelers will jump on these deals without giving a thought to why prices are discounted. That's bad. The reason? IT'S HURRICANE SEASON. But don't automatically shy away from that cruise to Mexico, that all-inclusive on Jamaica, that diving expedition in the Cayman Islands. Just be aware that nature has a habit of disrupting agendas during summer and fall. If your vacation plans include areas susceptible to hurricanes, purchase travel insurance when booking a trip. It's important, however, to know what kind of insurance you are buying.
