February Cruise

[chiguy67]

We were at Coco Cay last February and the water was a little cooler but was still nice. There were a lot of people in the water and at the water park.

Have a few stiff drinks and Oasis lagoon and you will end up in the water sooner or later.  Trust me.

Anyone have thoughts on water temp at Coco Cay water park in late Feb?

If you swim in the northeast US in the summer you will find the Bahamas in the winter to be no problem at all. I've swam there many times in the winter and found it to be very comfortable.

Generally you should be fine with shorts and sun dresses. But given that Baltimore will be cold, you'll obviously want a warm outfit for the days you're coming and going from there. If it rains on the islands, it's usually a warm rain, so while it's unpleasant to be in the actual rain, you're not gonna freeze. Maybe bring a light jacket for being outside on deck at night, one pair of leggings or a long sleeve shirt (again, for being on deck at night), but otherwise I'd pack summer clothing.

I have been going back & forth with what I should bring.  Your message helps. This is my first time going in a colder month. Thanks

I have been asking myself this question too. I tend to get cold on the ship so I think I need to pack more warm clothes than most people.

Baltimore will be cold in February.  Charlestown should be a little warmer but still should warrant cool weather clothing.  The further south you go the warmer it will be.  However, that being said, I pack long pants, more long sleeve dress shirts, short sleeve polo shirts.  My wife wears capri’s, jeans, long sleeve blouses, and always has at least a light sweater.

 

Similar to Alaska cruises, dressing in layers is usually the key.

I wonder if the President's Week crowd applies out of Galveston too?   
We booked Feb 19th, 2024 based purely on the cheap price.  We can travel whenever.   Texas has Spring Break vacations in March and April.

Just remember that Presidents Week cruises will have far more families onboard than every other February week.

Bahamas weather much like South Florida. Pack after checking forcast days before sailing.

This topic made me smile, I guess feeling cold is very relative as to where one is from. We are from Sweden and Bahamas in February is still hotter than most Swedish summers 😁

I went from -4 degrees at home to 96 degrees in Jamaica one February week!

That is so true.    We vacationed in Southern California last summer, late June.   We were wearing things like hoodies in the low-70's F (22C) weather.   My husband still grumbles about how cold it was.   
It did make a way to chat with other tourists.  We'd see people dressed like us and ask where they were from because we knew they weren't locals, and likely from the south.
