JPVENDING Posted March 16, 2005 #1 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Hello Board My wife and I are going to go on our first Voyager Class ship, the explorer. We have been on 5 other smaller ship so know what to expect..Well kind of. Since we've booked this cruise some good friends or ours want to go on a cruise..And I thought it would be fun to go on another Voyager class with them however we will not be going untill 2006. We would like to go to the carribean however we don't want to pay like we are paying to go in July. When is a reasonable time to travel where the weather is good enough to go swimming but not rediculous in price like we are paying for in July? And advice would be greatly apprecaited. Also if you have any advice on which ship to go on and which port we should travel out of keeping in my mind we will be flying from LAX. Thanks for any help you may have!

powderider1 Posted March 16, 2005 #2 Share Posted March 16, 2005 If you really want to make your friends trip a memorable one, I think you should pay 100% of their expenses. They'll appreciate it!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOANNAHOLTON Posted March 16, 2005 #3 Share Posted March 16, 2005 We always go in April, it usually seems to be lower for some reason.Also school is not out yet so not many kids, not sure whether this matters or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debandbill Posted March 16, 2005 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Since you are requesting a Voyager experience, that means the east coast so I won't go into any other cruises. Late November, early December is a great time to cruise and one of the cheapest. You are past hurricane season so that worry is almost nil and the weather in the Caribbean is wonderful...plenty warm to do tropical things. I would check prices for this time frame...you will easily see the difference for the high season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GranysT Posted March 17, 2005 #8 Share Posted March 17, 2005 April is my favorite month,so far,to cruise,and the weather is usually terrific. However,it is not a cheap time to travel. It is Spring Break all over the states,somewhere,during March and April. I agree,the month between Thanksgiving and Xmas seem to be the best price wise. You're going to LOVE the Voyager class ships tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted March 17, 2005 #9 Share Posted March 17, 2005 A great time when the fares are fairly low are the 3 weeks between Thanksgiving week and Christmas week. The weather is ALWAYS warm enough in the Caribbean to swim, and those 3 weeks are normally VERY nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimiCLAS Posted March 17, 2005 #10 Share Posted March 17, 2005 We have always cruised in January. Never had a bad time or bad weather. However, considering the weather in Wyoming, all is well on a cruise - good weather or bad. Happy Cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estj Posted March 18, 2005 #11 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Nov-early Dec. a great time...prices good and the water is warm (compared to early Spring with comparable rates). Have never had bad weather in November cruising. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
