janm8144 Posted May 28, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Looking to do cruise that includes Half Moon Cay the end of January. How likely to be unable to port there due to rough conditions? I've heard winter months are harder to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nayr30 Posted May 28, 2015 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It's impossible to predict the wave conditions anytime of the year. However, I can tell you I'm 3-0 with HMC and hoping to make it 4-0 in July. :) FYI, I was there in October and March. Good luck because HMC is AMAZING!

kona_wahine Posted May 28, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2015 We went January 2014 and made it. There was a bit of a cold spell Florida down to the Bahamas so it was a bit disappointing. So much so that I came home and booked another cruise for April 2015. Now that day was perfection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisenanny Posted May 29, 2015 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Have been to HMC 2x, both were end of January and both times were AMAZING. Headed back in Nov, can not wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winddawn Posted May 29, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Looking to do cruise that includes Half Moon Cay the end of January. How likely to be unable to port there due to rough conditions? I've heard winter months are harder to see it. My last 2 of 3 attempts to visit HMC were unsuccessful due to weather. One was in September (thunderstorms) and the other was in late December (wind). Winter time seems to produce windier conditions IMO, especially around the Bahamas. And that doesn't bode well for tender ports. It is luck of the draw though--its weather.

Rare Jamman54 Posted May 29, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Don't want to jinx myself, but I'm a perfect 8 for 8 at HMC. Fingers crossed for being 9 for 9 come July!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurdueChefAmber Posted May 29, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I would be heartbroken to not see HMC but as long as I get there once out of my two tries, I will be happy. I have never been to HMC, Grand Turk or Amber Cove (of course). Knock on wood but I have never missed a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthomaniac Posted May 29, 2015 #13 Share Posted May 29, 2015 HMC and Grand Turk are both WONDERFUL if like beach days or snorkel/scuba activities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
