Jamericannn Posted November 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I think late April and May are the best months to cruise to the Caribbean because the weather is not too hot or "cold". The water in the pools should be great as well. Also, it is before the hurricane season which usually brings a lot of rains. No one wants to have rain falling on sea days or when they are at the beach. What are your favorite months to cruise the Caribbean and why?

coevan Posted November 10, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2016 all of them, the Caribbean's year round temperature is pretty much 80-85, so not quite sure about the "cold" part. As a diver, the summer months water temp is mid 80's, winter water temp low 80's, which is cold for a whimp like me. Winter is nice as we are leaving cold Colorado for the Caribbean. Fall offers some great pricing because of the tenuous weather. Any month cruising is a good month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, July and August are a lot more humid than December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted November 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2016 The Jan/Feb time frame is perfect for us in the Caribbean ... not in the Bahamas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coevan Posted November 10, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2016 very true, we were on a Bahamas cruise and it was freezing, like low 60's and many people were buys sweatshirts in Nassau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted November 10, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Our July/August cruises have been very hot but the one in April was about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmarnnurse Posted November 10, 2016 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Living in Buffalo, NY--January and February are the best months, so that we can escape the cold and snow! Problem is, that snow often affects us flying out! [emoji51] Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacsmom Posted November 10, 2016 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2016 What is the advantage of traveling those months. Generally lower cost. Those are my favorite months too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius1787 Posted November 10, 2016 #11 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I vote for January and February also. Lousy weather at home, small amount of children on board and the rates are usually lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruzin2paradise09 Posted November 10, 2016 #12 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Any month from January to December.... [emoji16][emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13cheermom Posted November 10, 2016 #13 Share Posted November 10, 2016 So we always cruised with kids during vacations and breaks revolving around their schedules in the past which meant spring or fall break and summer month. However now it's just the 2 of us, so we have been able to try all times of the year, and have been surprised at the temps. Don't really care for Aug-Oct due to hurricane season, (have tried 2 times and not successful), but Nov-Dec have really turned out great and depending on how far south your traveling in the carribbean, the waters are very warm. Actually weather was nicer than early spring temps, when the water is warming up from the colder winter months. But that's just been our experience, and we were quite surprised and love this time of the year. It's nice to get away right before the holidays and unwind before all the stress comes around. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raxter54 Posted November 10, 2016 #14 Share Posted November 10, 2016 January /February. We get out of the cold Midwest for a week, the water is warm, temps are not hot, and rates are lower. What's not to love... Sent from my Galaxy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florings Posted November 10, 2016 #16 Share Posted November 10, 2016 I choose September or October for the costs and very few children. You never know if the weather will cooperate. We did have to miss a port last year, and it did rain 6 out of 8 days this year - but I was on a cruise!! So all was well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any month cruising is a good month Depends on where in the Caribbean, but water temps can definitely drop into the 70's during winter and be unpleasant for some. In the Bahamas, which is a popular spot on Caribbean cruises, it can get into the low 70's during the winter which is quite cold for most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseballmom2 Posted November 11, 2016 #20 Share Posted November 11, 2016 What is the weather like in March? I've never been and I'm hoping it won't be too humid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieOmni Posted November 11, 2016 #21 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) January February. It's cheaper and less crowded. Weather is mild but not cold. Also helps that it's our anniversary.
