MDSue Posted June 24, 2011 #26 Share Posted June 24, 2011 If I have my good camera with me, I might carry a poncho. If you are shopping, it will keep your bags dry too. Luckily, we've never had much rain and usually it's just a passing shower. The only time I ever actually used a poncho was on a week long trip to Costa Rica during their rainy season. Didn't really need them while cruising, but they are easy to carry if you want one. An umbrella would be too much trouble for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaragrace Posted June 24, 2011 #27 Share Posted June 24, 2011 It ALWAYS rains while we are in Puerto rico (for 20 minutes or so)...go with the poncho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SASA13 Posted June 24, 2011 #31 Share Posted June 24, 2011 .....rain ponchos when debarking the ship and it is raining. I think they were like $3 a piece or so. wasiii I do the same thing. I don't pack an umbrella or poncho, and if need be ( it has to be pouring out ), then I buy the poncho when debarking the ship. Also, on many excursions ( that run rain or shine), they usually hand out ponchos ( speaking about CCL run excursion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsZee Posted June 24, 2011 #32 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think I'd just look for the nearest roof. If it rains in the Caribbean, it will probably only last 20 minutes. And if it is longer, a poncho doesn't really keep you all that dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
