goeva Posted May 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2016 (edited) Hi Everyone, I know the best time to go on a Caribbean cruise is simply "year-round" but do you have a favorite because of weather, prices, school breaks, school in session, or holidays? Would love to know what is your favorite month(s) to take a Caribbean cruise. :D Note: This is a multiple choice poll.

monkeybone Posted May 31, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2016 June has always been the best month for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted May 31, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 31, 2016 The January/February time frame is our absolutely favorite time to take a Caribbean cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina Girl 99 Posted May 31, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 31, 2016 We took our very first cruise last June and are going on our 2nd cruise this October, so I have NO idea which will appeal to me more. I left Upstate NY for my current hometown in coastal SC, 11 years ago because I'm a warm weather, beach-lovin' girl. Since hot and humid doesn't bother me and I no longer need to escape brutal NY winters, I could probably be happy cruising any time of the year! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmayor Posted May 31, 2016 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2016 We have gone in March each of the last three years, and have a Panama Canal cruise booked for next March. Its our favorite month to cruise to someplace warm because (a) my husband finishes up his 'busy' period at work the first week of March; its nice to have a week or so to decompress after a stressful 2 months; and (b) its a nice respite from the cold winter, and we come home knowing that spring is just a few weeks ahead.

tallnthensome Posted May 31, 2016 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Last week of April. It's still cold in Michiagan. Spring break (all breaks) is/are over and kids are back in school. Prices drop as well ........ Income tax refund is back too! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love.II.Cruise Posted May 31, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 31, 2016 For a great deal, we've done between Thanksgiving and Christmas! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nola26 Posted May 31, 2016 #10 Share Posted May 31, 2016 We like the end of August because we get to extend the time with Labor Day weekend. My mother always chose this week when we were kids and it has just continued now that she's grandma and it still works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMH15 Posted May 31, 2016 #11 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Feb. after holidays. Before Spring Break. My busiest month at work is Jan. I work my butt off. Enjoy the cruise after that busy time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sissaaaaaa Posted May 31, 2016 #12 Share Posted May 31, 2016 March is perfect, weather-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheehanDJ Posted May 31, 2016 #13 Share Posted May 31, 2016 October, it's hurricane season so prices are down, it also gives us one last shot of warm weather before we settle in for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovetotravel1977 Posted May 31, 2016 #14 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Last week of April. It's still cold in Michiagan. Spring break (all breaks) is/are over and kids are back in school. Prices drop as well ........ Income tax refund is back too! :D We love traveling in April. Nice and hot, but the humidity hasn't kicked in yet and not very much rain. And it's my DH's birthday month, so I can always justify our vacations to him as his "bday cruise" LOL Whatever it takes to sail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kfamilycruise Posted May 31, 2016 #15 Share Posted May 31, 2016 For us, November *Thanksgiving week* and June. Thanksgiving week is great for the kids -- they only miss 1 1/2 days and they usually aren't productive days. Or in June just after school ends.

howard6933 Posted May 31, 2016 #16 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I can consider any months are good for a cruise. We have been on 55 cruises and have never had any trouble. For the last few cruises we have sailed in April for my wifes birthday, and then in december for my birthday. However we have done a couple of cruises in the middle of the year also. As I said before, any month is a good month for a cruise and sometimes a good deal comes up and we fit that in anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snownow Posted May 31, 2016 #17 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Same for us, works out well with the kids :) For us, November *Thanksgiving week* and June.

Aquahound Posted May 31, 2016 #18 Share Posted May 31, 2016 For me...September. Less kids and lower prices due to hurricane season and kids having just gone back to school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted May 31, 2016 #19 Share Posted May 31, 2016 January and February (other than Presidents' week) are best for us - that is when it is important to escape the New England winter. We hit Florida in March (which isn't warm enough earlier). The rest of the year, it's pretty decent at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare PhillyTravelBug Posted May 31, 2016 #20 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I always end up doing September because the prices are so cheap, but I want to do one in Jan. Or Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKR2011 Posted June 1, 2016 #21 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I always get great deals in November BEFORE Thanksgiving, and there aren't a ton of kids on board either. I work with kids and love them, but I wouldn't want to cruise with a bazillion of them all at once! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Lily Posted June 1, 2016 #22 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I've only done one Caribbean cruise but have done many vacations in the Caribbean and I find the water too cold prior to mid- May. We were just on the Escape and I found the water at Magens Bay (St. Thomas) really chilly!:eek: Perfect month- no water activities - April otherwise May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DkswartzFamily Posted June 1, 2016 #23 Share Posted June 1, 2016 November, 1st week of dec, and january. Not too crowded, great prices, and still cool out : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDsquared Posted June 1, 2016 #24 Share Posted June 1, 2016 We love cruising in November, a week or two before Thanksgiving. Prices are good on airfare and cruisefare, crowds are down. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboclam Posted June 1, 2016 #25 Share Posted June 1, 2016 We enjoy cruising just about all the time, we prefer to go out on 10 day+ cruises either in Oct, Nov or Dec...Less crowded, still warm waters in the Caribbean, rainy season over...Hoping for some new/different itineraries for 2018...Cruising out of TPA in Jan of 2017 on the Jade, our first January cruise...Have a nice day...
