mollybloomers Posted February 6, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Hi! So, I am planning a cruise for my bf for his birthday. He's never cruised, but this well be my 3rd. The one I'm looking at is on November 5 with NCL. It will leave from San Juan, then go to St. Kitts, Barbados, St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Matinique. My question is, is this a good time to go? I know nobody can predict the weather, but is it likely to be rainy the whole time? We're both beach people and will likely do just that on each island. Thanks for any insight!

Clarea Posted February 6, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 6, 2016 We've cruised the Caribbean in November many times, with mostly fantastic weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_car Posted February 6, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 6, 2016 November is near the end of Hurricane season. The weather should be fabulous. If poor weather is predicted when getting close to cruise date, they may decide to do the ports backwards to avoid bad sea conditions. If you are doing excursions, I would not prepay any of them just in case of schedule changes. You are doing beaches, so no worries. It will be great! Have a great cruise.

cb at sea Posted February 6, 2016 #6 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Why would it be rainy all the time??? Hurricane season doesn't change anything about the overall weather...it simply means the ocean is still warm enough to help fuel a storm, should the conditions be right. If that happens, your ship will avoid the storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted February 6, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 6, 2016 We have cruised many times in November. Most of the time we have encountered hot and humid weather -- especially the first couple of weeks of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Crew News Posted February 6, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 6, 2016 November is a great time to go while the prices are low and the weather is always great in the Caribbean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruckerDave Posted February 7, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 7, 2016 It might rain all 7 days or it might be sunny without a cloud in the sky all 7 days. It might be hotter than the hinges of he&& or it might be very pleasant. NOBODY can possibly know what the weather will be like in November. With El Nino or La Nina and all the goofy weather patterns lately there is really no way to know. If you want to go in Nov then go. Don't concern yourself of what it "might" be like.
