When
to Cruise? |
This is a year round destination with a warm tropical climate and temperatures ranging from 27C/80F to 38C/100F. However most cruises sail between November and April when the temperatures and humidity are lower and the hurricane season is over. Storms and choppy seas are more likely in the summer when cruises will be re-routed to avoid the worst of any really bad weather.

Caribbean warm seas wash the beaches of hundreds of beautiful vibrant islands and the cultural influences of Europe, Africa and Latin America. Almost guaranteed sunshine, a friendly welcome and proximity to US mainland ports make the Caribbean the world's busiest and most popular cruise area. The scenery on offer ranges from lush, mountainous to flat arid islands and coral atolls. Bounded by Mexico and Central America to the west, the USA to the north and South America to the south, the area is full of historic sights from Mayan ruins to pirate lairs. Cruises depart from US ports like Houston, New Orleans and the world's biggest cruise port - Miami. There are an increasing number of cruises from the more centrally located Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Barbados and Jamaica.
