Cruise industry stands with Jamaica

The cruise industry trade group Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) has extended appreciation to its member lines and partners for their extraordinary generosity in response to Hurricane Melissa’s devastating impact.

Carnival Corporation & plc, the Micky and Madeleine Arison Family Foundation, and Miami HEAT have donated US$1 million to Direct Relief to support Jamaica’s recovery — a powerful act of unity and compassion. 

Royal Caribbean Group pledged over US$1 million through Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) to aid long-term recovery.

The Walt Disney Company committed US$1 million to support relief efforts through partners including UNICEFWorld Central Kitchen, and Good360.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. donated US$50,000 to the American Red Cross and will match up to US$50,000 in employee and public donations.

FCCA said its member lines remain united with the people of the Caribbean — “rebuilding together with resilience, love and strength.”
