Weather in December?

I'm taking a cruise the week before Christmas and was wondering what the weather will be like? I'm cruising to Grand Cayman, Cozumel, and Freeport. I found out that Freeport averages about 80 degrees or a little below around that time, unless a cold front comes through. Is the same true for the other two ports? I just want to pack accordingly. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I think we are going on the same cruise - Carnival Liberty, right?

 

I looked this up and yes, the weather is about the same for all 3 ports. It looks like the Caymans are the warmest with an avg. high temp. of 84 in December. It should be beautiful.

In GCM, the water temp in December should be about 81f +/- a degree. Fair chance that the wind will be from the North making Stingray city a bit rough, sometimes too rough for the ship's excursions.

 

In Cozumel, the water temp should be around 79f +/- 1 degree. Also here if the wind is from the north, the water on the West side of the island will be rough and the water clarity at the beach clubs will be poor.

The scuba and snorkel excursions for the 4 ships in port were canceled (2 days of rough water from the Panama Canal to GC) during our cruise last December. If that occurs, check on the tender pier to see if independent tours are running.

 

We missed our ship's combination snorkel tour (with Stingray City), but other passengers booked on the pier and did make it to Stingray City.
