We have cruised the Caribbean in November, February, April and September and have had great cruises. We wanted to know when is the best time to cruise and get the best price without going during hurricane season.

 

In the Caribbean it has to be November and early December.

The Caribbean is pretty close to being a buyers market with so many ships and cabins that have to be filled.

You HAVE cruising during the height of hurricane season in Sept. It is the chance you take. I agree that the best deals can be found from Thanksgiving to pre Christmas. The decorations pop up over night after Thanksgiving.:)

Between Thanksgiving and Christmas; then, just after New Years until the first Spring Break schools let out.

Early to mid December is a sweet spot for us. My favorite time to cruise is May-July, so we usually do the end of May for decent summer prices and our second cruise is usually in December because of the fantastic deals.

 

We like the longer daylight hours and weather in the summer but appreciate the Christmas decor and cheap fares in December. It also makes us have our Christmas shopping and decorating done before we leave for our December cruises.

We have had some good pricing the early part of January. Unfortunately, we have also had some January cruises where is was quite cold from Florida all the way down to the Caribbean. This past January on Oasis being one of the cold ones.

September /October ~ hurricane season in the Caribbean.

After Thanksgiving to before Christmas.

 

One other time frame that I've found good deals on ..... after Easter when Spring Break is over and just before the ships reposition. We've found some great deals then. Weather is great also.:)
