How crowded in CocoCay in the summer, which is when I assume there are the most kids? Are the lines to water slides super long? Is it like DIsney World in the summer?

We are currently looking to do a summer 2022 cruise and decided to look into the southern Caribbean, ABC islands, as we heard they were the least humid during the summer. There is a southern Caribbean cruise that goes to CocoCay which looks like it would be really fun for our entire family, but we are unsure of how hot and humid it would be. For those who have been there in the summer is it too hot to enjoy, especially if your going to be just standing and waiting to go on the lines for the water slides? Should we just book a cruise that goes only to the ABC islands and then comes back instead? For those who have been to the ABC islands are they is it too hot there? I've read it has little humidity, but the average temps is in the 90s which is higher then many Mediterranean cities which people also say is hot and surprisingly humid in the summer.

So extreme heat,  our daughter got heat stroke on the Cinque Terre.

When in the summer did you go I'm trying to see if it's possible for my family to go as early as possible in June, but I'm not sure with Covid.

It can get up to 100 F in July and August, but as long as you are at the coast it never feels like the high humidity in Florida.

We have never found the humidity in the Mediterranean to be nowhere near as bad as to that in Florida.

 

In general, would you say it is comfortable in the summer?

Travel restrictions, especially for foreigners could be severely restricted or even impossible. 

Oh, I was hoping by summer it would be easier to travel and have a vacation.

your ability to get there and find a place to stay

What do you mean by this? 

I'm planning on doing a family cruise this summer and was thinking about going to the Mediterranean. We remember the first time we went to Orlando in the summer and the humidity there was brutal. It was almost unbearable to walk outside. We had to carry one of those spray bottle fan things. Overall I won't be going to Florida in the summer it is way too hot and humid there. Either way, that is why we chose the Mediterranean as our destination for our first cruise. What we didn't know is that apparently it gets humid in the summer? I thought it had the same climate type as what we have here in California. From what I've read here it seems more people complain about humidity in the western Mediterranean (Rome, Barcelona, Ibiza, Naples, French Riviera)  than the eastern Mediterranean with the exception of Venice (Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Croatia, Montenegro). Can anyone tell me how humid the Mediterranean is in the summer? I'm limited to only the months of June, July, and August because of kids schooling.
