KINGSTON, Jamaica — In the wake of Hurricane Melissa’s devastation, communities across Jamaica, including Sandy Ground in St Elizabeth, Bluefields in Westmoreland, and Salt Spring and Barnett Lane in Montego Bay, St James, have received critical support from the Love & Harmony Cruise initiative. With the assistance of the Jamaica Constabulary Force and Senior Superintendent of Police Dr. Terrence Bent, the team ensured the secure and efficient distribution of essential supplies to hundreds of affected residents. Each care package was thoughtfully assembled, containing building materials, flashlights, food, toiletries, sanitary products, construction gloves, tarpaulin, water, batteries, toys, clothing, shoes, and other necessities. This effort represents Phase One of the Love & Harmony Cruise’s commitment to Jamaica’s recovery, with additional relief phases in the pipeline. Ronnie Tomlinson, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Love & Harmony Cruise, emphasized the residents’ gratitude and the profound emotional impact of the aid. “The communities welcomed us with open arms, expressing heartfelt appreciation for the support during this challenging time,” Tomlinson noted. The initiative also reached shut-in residents who were unable to collect supplies themselves. Looking ahead, the Love & Harmony Cruise team plans to expand its efforts through partnerships and a special give-back initiative during its 2026 voyage aboard the luxurious Norwegian Jewel. The cruise, scheduled for April 1–6, 2026, will feature world-class entertainment and dining while continuing to support hurricane recovery efforts. “Our commitment to Jamaica is unwavering—this is not a one-time act but an ongoing mission,” Tomlinson affirmed.
