mattR Posted July 27, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Wondering what the weather will be like on our Eastern Car Cruise on the Zuiderdam? Ft Lauderdale - HMC- Torotla- St Thomas- Naussa? I know weather can vary but just a ballpark idea would be great:) Dec 11-18th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 27, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2004 The weather does not vary very much all year long in the Caribbean. The temps remain about the same but the humidity rises considerably in the summer. You should expect beach/swim weather. Of course, no one can predict rain/clouds.

CruisinNana Posted July 27, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 27, 2004 This past January when we were at HMC, the weather was beautiful and warm, but the water was freezing!!!!! I still loved it, though! :D Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kruizers Posted July 27, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 27, 2004 :) We have taken several cruises in December. The weather was great. But the water at HMC was chilly - at least it was for us. I actually enjoyed being in the Caribbean when the temperatures weren't so hot. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esme Posted July 27, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Matt - laughed about the "chilly water" that some posters mentioned. To us hardy Canadians it was Perfect. :) We have been cruising the end of December for the last few years (over Xmas) and the weather has been good - no high humidity as we usually have here in Ontario during the summer. Nassau could be a bit cool, but great for walking around. We we arrived in FLL last year the evenings were cool, but nice during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 27, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Very little humidity in the Caribbean in December......much lower than during the summer.We've been at HMC for Christmas and New Years a number of times. Sometimes the water was warm and we loved swimming; other times it was to chilly for our comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare geoherb Posted July 27, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 27, 2004 We've been on seven cruises to the Caribbean in late November and December. Most of the time, the weather has been great. We were on a western Caribbean cruise last December--the week before Christmas. A cold front came through while we were in Costa Maya, making it too chilly to enjoy the water. We had cool weather our last day at sea--and it was cool in Fort Lauderdale, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattR Posted July 28, 2004 Author #9 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I guess whatever weather we have it will be nicer then the weather at home in Alberta Canada:) (I don't think they have snow in the Caribbean?? :) :):)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
