When Hurricane Melissa — a record-breaking Category 5 storm — struck Jamaica on October 28, 2025, it became one of the darkest days in the island’s modern history. Entire towns were destroyed, power grids collapsed, and thousands were left homeless. But amid the devastation, help began to arrive — not just from governments, but from the cruise industry, which has deep ties to Jamaica and the Caribbean. In this video, we look at how Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney, and Norwegian Cruise Line came together to provide millions in aid, medical supplies, and relief for their crew members and the Jamaican people. 🌴💙 Hope amid the ruins — the Caribbean stands together. #HurricaneMelissa #Jamaica #CruiseAid Episodes: 00:00 — Hurricane Melissa devastates Jamaica 00:42 — Destruction across the island 01:15 — The humanitarian crisis unfolds 01:45 — Carnival Corporation: $1 Million for Direct Relief 02:20 — Royal Caribbean Group: Supplies and crew support 02:55 — Disney Cruise Line: Relief through UNICEF & WCK 03:25 — Norwegian Cruise Line: Donations to Red Cross 03:55 — The cruise industry’s united response 04:35 — Hope amid the ruins: Jamaica stands strong 05:10 — End message / credits #HurricaneMelissa #CruiseNews #Jamaica Hurricane Melissa, Jamaica hurricane 2025, Jamaica disaster relief, Category 5 hurricane, cruise line donations, Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, hurricane news 2025, cruise ships helping Jamaica, Caribbean storm damage, hurricane footage 2025, Caribbean recovery, Jamaica news 2025, cruise industry response, Direct Relief, Global Empowerment Mission, World Central Kitchen, cruise news 2025
