Hurricane Season Officially Ends!
The 2008 Atlantic hurricane season officially ends today, after six months of record-setting activity that kept cruise travelers -- and cruise lines -- on their toes. Unlike last year's season, which was slightly milder than forecast, hurricane activity across the Atlantic Basin this year fell within all of the ranges predicted and earned superlatives in the process. In fact, while only one storm hit the U.S. in 2007, this year marks the first time since record keeping began some 64 years ago that six consecutive named storms struck the mainland.
