NHcruisergirl Posted February 24, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Heading off on the Legend on sunday and just checked the weather forecast for the ports and am little disappointed. It looks good in Grand Cayman and Roatan but rain in Cozumel and Belize :( How often does the weather change last minute from the original forecast down there? And does anyone have any good back up plan things to do if weather is uncooperative? I know I sound like a such a complainer but really wanted sun all week since it looks like it has been all sun there for the last month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojean Posted February 24, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 24, 2011 What I do is disregard the 5-day forecast because so much can change in two days. They usually can get that right w/o any problems. Can u say a cold front/storm blew the other way? Just take you a plastic shower coat (can purchase at dollar store) and go as planned. It'll still be warm so hey that's really all u need.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted February 24, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 24, 2011 In the tropics typically a storm will last a little while and the sun comes out. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcal2 Posted February 24, 2011 #4 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The weather changes fast when storms arrive so you may get both sunshine and rain. What you won't get is winter as we know it. The storms are warmer. On one cruise they handed out little, lightweight, plastic, rain covers that I now take on every cruise and they work great. You may find that even if it rains it is less of a problem than the cold rainstorms you may be used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get rain in just about any of those ports and it can blow over in a matter of minutes. Dont worry about it - your chances of good weather are really good!

travelntreats Posted February 24, 2011 #6 Share Posted February 24, 2011 pop up showers are normal in the caribbean, and this time of year don't usually involve any serious storms per say..... Go have a good time on your cruise and don't let a little liquid sunshine possibility deter you from doing so ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harveycm Posted February 24, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Both times I went to Grand Cayman it rained, but wasn't for long and still had great days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KITKAT0229 Posted February 24, 2011 #8 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I've been checking all week and everyday it changes. It's normal to get a few showers in the Caribbean but normally they come and go and all is well. If you haven't already, come join our roll call. We're going to have a Meet & Mingle on Monday at 10am in the Piano Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkportersat Posted February 24, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 24, 2011 It actually says that almost all the times I have ever checked....and I think in 11 cruises I have had rain twice but it has never ruined my day. In the Caribbean you will sometimes have little rain showers that pass through. Try not to worry ;) Heading off on the Legend on sunday and just checked the weather forecast for the ports and am little disappointed.

JO-TRAVEL ALOT Posted February 24, 2011 #12 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have a good friend here at work and she always says that she don't check the weather because the trip is paid for and your going so why sweat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHcruisergirl Posted February 24, 2011 Author #13 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Oh KitKat you made my day! I feel much better :D. Thank you all for your words of wisdom.....my husband and son have been saying the same exact things for the last few days but somehow hearing from all you of really helps. I am such a worrier about wanting everything to be perfect but need to keep in mind that no matter what the weather I am still on vacation and it beats work and freezing cold temps!
