We were just informed by the representative of our travel agent that our flight from Cancun to Amsterdam scheduled for Monday has been cancelled and that they are going to evacuate us to a place inland to be safe from Hurricane Dean. Tomorrow morning a bus will pick us up and transfer us to a place yet unknown. It is also not clear when the airport in Cancun will re-open and when Martinair will have a plane there to take us home. Earliest Wednesday, they say.
Our snorkeling and sailing excursions were also cancelled so the last few days of our Mexico trip have not been the nicest. A Ley seco ("dry law") has been put in force so no alcohol is available for sale. The town is now changing into a ghost town as more and more tourists and locals are leaving and businesses are closing down.

Please be safe. Great to hear that your travel agency is taking care of you. Having been through Typhoons, I know such winds can be quite treacherous.
