December--how is weather and are seas choppy?

[lizstas]

We're booking a little late this year and always like to cruise the first few

weeks of December. Not too much available for Southern Carribean so we were considering the Mexican Riveria. How is the weather in general? Are the seas rough in comparison to the carribean?

We were on the Pride in December and the weather was a little cool the first sea day. Coming back was also a little windy with some chop. It was an excellent cruise; however, it is not the Caribbean.

:) You May check with the port Auth on this site and he has a good handel on the weather. I think the cobo site has a weather up date.:cool:

Once you are past Cabo, the seas should be pretty calm. It can be rough on the western side of Baja both going down and coming back during that time of year though. The weather in December (once you are past Cabo) is usually warm and dry and clear though. Plan on warm clothing for your first and last day...December is winter in Southern California, and with the wind it will definitely not be shorts weather.

Take GOOD CARE of the Mercury on your cruise, as we will be boarding when you get back to San Diego. Our cruise date is 12/06/04. This will be our first time sailing with Celebrity, and also our first time with a veranda. Do you have any suggestions for shore tours?
