What's the weather like at the beginning of Sept?

[emcamm]

I'm really wanting to book a 7 day Western Caribbean cruise starting Sept. 9th. It'll be our honeymoon and because I'm pregnant I thought a cruise would be a good choice. I know Carnival's pregnancy policy is 26 weeks which would be Sept. 18th for me. We are getting married on Sept. 1st so our options are limited. I've heard that hurricane season starts in September so am I pushing my luck with this cruise or do you think the weather should be still nice?

 

Thanks!

If you are worried about hurricanes, then you should not go on a cruise.

 

Hurricanes come and go and it is really sort of the luck of the draw.

 

Book the cruise you want to and be sure to get cruise insurance.

 

If, by chance, your cruise does have to dodge a hurricane, RCI will take car of you.

Thanks for the information!

Hurricane season is officially from June 1 to November 30 in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and North Atlantic water areas.

You should check with the cruise line regarding their policy if a hurricane occurs during your scheduled cruise.

I know with Royal Caribbean they will change the itenerary/ports of call if a hurricane is predicted to hit one of the ports they are scheduled to dock at. Most cruise lines don't cancel the cruises, they sail around the hurricane and/or change their itineraries. So you still get to port at places, but maybe not the one you were scheduled to.:)
