Although Rina was downgraded from hurricane to tropical storm, it still did much financial damage to the Mexican Caribbean. Thousands of guests checked out of hotels in Cancun, Cozumel and along the Riviera Maya, only to arrive at airports and discover that flights — 73 in all — had been canceled because of the threat from the weather. Operators of seven cruise ships canceled programmed calls at Cozumel and an uncounted number of tourists canceled air and hotel reservations for the upcoming long weekend. In view of the threat from Rina, cancelation penalties were waived.
