What is your favorite month to take a Caribbean cruise?

[ksuds]

I like all of them except June, July, and August - I dislike sailing when school is not in session.

 

My thoughts exactly!!!:D

[Debde]

Once it starts getting cold here in NY!!:D

After the holidays Jan/Feb/March works great for us!!

[mpace58]

Love March. No need to bring a different set of clothing for the port and for the cruise.

 

Having said that - we have cruised in March, June & September. June is much to hot. September was nice but we did have some issues with a Hurricane/Tropical Storm.

 

Going to try winter cruising in about 40 days. :D

January and February.

 

It's nice to go some place where it is 70 to 80 degrees warmer for a few weeks.

Yep, me too. Love January for cruising.

I've always gone in November. The weather has always been great for our mid-November cruises. Water is still warm, and school is in session. We like to sail out of Florida so we don't lose any days to cold weather sailing out of a more northern port. The 2nd and 3rd weeks of November are usually really good for pricing as well (just before the holiday pricing begins).

We always go when school is in session for the lower pricing and less people. I like mid-December as I enjoy a little shopping, but don't really need to be bringing anything else home so I Christmas shop and the gifts are more unique. January and February are great to get away from Winter, we always go the day before for any chance of weather delays. We are trying March this year. Like others have said any time you can cruise is good.

February, to get away from the NE cold. However, our Mediterranean cruises are taken in July-August.

WE like the week after Thanksgiving, which is normally pretty cheap and also like flying in a few days early and leaving on Thanksgiving day when airports are not crowded, we also cruise in April but try to avoid Easter and spring breaks

[Bailey & Sophie]

Predicting the weather is impossible we all know. We just came off of a Thanksgiving weekend cruise that we have taken 9 times.....wow, was it rocky. On some past cruises over the same weekend...it was calm and delightful. You just can't know what you will get in November. But we do it anyway...we just love to get away that weekend!

We go in February.

We live in Minnesota where winters can be quite long. November & December are filled with Thanksgiving and Christmas. January is spent getting ready for our cruise. I can grit out March waiting for spring to come. So February works out good for us.

When we relocate in a couple of years, we will be able to check out some last minute cruise rates in other months!

March/April and Oct/Nov

[raytownlady]

We like to cruise January, early February. Weather is great, prices are low and breaks up the winter for us.

 

That's exactly why we go in Jan/Feb. We need a break from the brutal Midwestern winters :eek:

[Cruisingthesuitelife]

Done May, August and November and I definitely preferred May. However, I tend to go in November as it is cheaper.

[Natmom]

We have cruised twice at the beginning of May and had perfect weather each time.

[Oakman]

May and September/October. Great weather, minimal kids, low rates.

[cjdixon4]

I like May and October, but the reasons are personal to me and DH. They represent birthday and anniversary months, but also they have fewer children traveling during those times.

[dcward89]

January or February...love getting out of the harsh northeast Ohio winter and spending a week or two soaking up some sun in the Southern Caribbean!

[dcward89]

We also like the good pricing and very few kids in Jan/Feb.

[Bookish Angel]

Our anniversary is in January and we like escaping winter for 10 days or more. Plus, we hate high temps and humidity so would never cruise the Cribbean in summer.

[karena1]

Just curious. Trying to decide when to go on my next cruise.

April. As a rule the weather is fantastic. We do 3/4 nighters year round, but we have always taken our 7 nighters in April. Rarely do we have a bad weather day, water is warm by then, unlike Feb (understand we live in FL so water has to be WARM before I am getting in it). Just love that time of year.

First two weeks of Dec have very good prices and ships are decorated for Christmas but it is hard for my husband to get that time off. Late Jan has been a great time too with low prices and great weather. We will sail early Jan. 2015 bc we are taking our college age kids this time and it works well for them but the prices are high

[Mango Tango]

We love to go for two weeks in January. It gets us out of the frigid temps of Minnesota and shortens up the Winter for us. The prices are good and there are very few kids on board. It gives us something to look forward to after the busy holiday season.

Jan/Feb- We celebrate Xmas, our anniversary- January, and both our Birthdays- February

We were sailing with another cruise line, but also Thanksgiving week. I'd never been sea sick in my life until then. My other two cruises were in early November and were perfect. So, I think we'll avoid late Nov. sailings from here on out just to be safe! Good to know it wasn't just us rockin' and rollin!

You were not alone on the rockin and rollin' seas last week. However, we have cruised many times on that exact weekend and it has been just fine.....so who the devil knows.

[dacsmom]

I cruise in February and October. The weather is just perfect for me although I am sure the law of averages will catch up with me one day and I will be affected by a Hurricane some October.
