THERE’S been an outpouring of generosity from the world’s cruise lines in the last couple of days, which have collectively pledged millions of dollars to help communities impacted by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas.
Aid includes $2 million from the Carnival Foundation, along with $1m from each of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Disney Cruise LIne and Royal Caribbean, with the money to fund disaster relief and cruise lines also offering to transport goods on their ships to assist victims.
The Category 5 storm, now downgraded, has killed at least 20 people and destroyed 13,000 homes in the Bahamas, while cruise lines have also been forced to rearrange some of their itineraries to avoid Dorian.
Some passengers have had longer cruises than expected, while other voyages have been shortened due to port closures on the Florida coast.
