steel123 Posted January 6, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The rates are higher to cruise in July than August, so it's more affordable to travel in August. Is there much difference in cruising the Eastern Caribbean between these 2 months? Is the water rougher in August? I know a hurricane can more likely happen in August. Is it better to avoid that month?:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdood Posted January 6, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 6, 2007 It is a dice roll, September is the ultimate hurricane month historically, you could have bad weather in the most unlikely month... I don't every worry about it, I just book, too many other things that are more important to worry about in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel123 Posted January 6, 2007 Author #3 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thanks for your response, mrdood. If we book based on cost alone, I would choose August.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted January 6, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The main consideration with cruising during hurricane season is that the itinerary may change and/or port days may be canceled. If the itinerary is the most important thing to you, don't sail during the height of hurricane season. If you are fine with the potential for deviation and want to save some cash them go for it.

steel123 Posted January 6, 2007 Author #5 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Thanks for your reply YST347. We were lucky enough this past August to experience good weather when we were on the Miracle. We'd like to try the Eastern Caribbean this time, so it may be best to go when there is less risk of a possible itinerary change. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
