Carnival Cruise Line’s Carnival Horizon made a significant relief call to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, proudly delivering thousands of essential supplies to support communities impacted by Hurricane Melissa. This swift action successfully channeled items such as bottled water, baby food and diapers, canned goods, and hygiene supplies directly to Jamaica’s Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management. The entire delivery process was efficiently managed with the helpful assistance of the Jamaica Tourism Cares Taskforce and numerous dedicated Jamaican crew members aboard the ship.

This vital supply delivery builds upon a massive financial commitment to the recovery effort. Carnival Corporation, in a fantastic partnership with the Miami HEAT and the Micky & Madeleine Arison Family Foundation, previously contributed $1 million to Direct Relief to further support the island’s recovery. This comprehensive support beautifully underscores the strong, long-standing relationship between Carnival and the resilient people of Jamaica.

Hon. Edmund Bartlett, Jamaica’s Minister of Tourism, warmly thanked Carnival and its partners, emphasizing that these contributions offer immediate help to families and tourism workers in need. These actions signal to the world that the tourism industry is fully committed to standing with Jamaica, strengthening the island’s ability to recover quickly and emerge even more resilient. Carnival looks forward to resuming guest visits as soon as local officials confirm the destination is ready to welcome tourists again.
