cruise fairy Posted January 25, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2006 We're sailing the Western in March. What is the weather like most days? What are sea conditions typically like that time of year? Some folks have been talking about GC port not being available. Is this permanent, or would it be open in March? :confused: thanks:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susyls Posted January 25, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I'm wondering, too. I'm going in April and it sounds like there can be some rain. Is this true? Do I need rain gear? We will be doing the 4x4 land rover river cave trip and I want to be ready for mud if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonS Posted January 25, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 25, 2006 We're sailing the Western in March. What is the weather like most days? What are sea conditions typically like that time of year? Some folks have been talking about GC port not being available. Is this permanent, or would it be open in March? :confused: thanks:p I have a home on Grand Cayman and just retruned from there last week. The port IS NOT CLOSED. It is a Princess decision not to dock there. Occasionaly, the port will shut down temporarily due to high seas, but this is a rare occurence. For some reason I do not understand, there are posters on this board who continue to state that Grand Cayman is "damaged", or that the dock "needs work". This is simply not true. Yes, there was a huricane in 2004, but most of the Island has been built back even better than pre-Ivan. Grand Cayman is an extremely popular and therefore extremely busy port.

Pam in CA Posted January 25, 2006 #4 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Last I heard, ships tender to GC rather than "docking." Also, it's so popular that some ships are now altering their itinerary so that their passengers aren't there with thousands of other cruisers. As for weather, if anyone could predict weather a few weeks in advance, they'd make millions. There's no way to know or predict the weather. Your best bet is to check the temperature averages and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyCruises Posted January 28, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2006 In January when I went it was in the 80 to 90 degree range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennew Posted January 28, 2006 #6 Share Posted January 28, 2006 we honeymooned in the Western Carribean in March 2004. The weather was PERFECT. 85-90, clear, sunny, and just wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
