SugarNSpice8104 Posted October 15, 2007 #1 Share Posted October 15, 2007 What months are hurricane season? Did not know if it ended in Nov or Dec. Has anyone ever cruised the caribbean in Dec? We usually go in Feb, but noticed the price difference for nov and dec. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue L Posted October 15, 2007 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Officially it is from June 1 to Nov 30 though two years ago, there were some in Dec but that was a record. I have been in Dec and it was beautiful. The later you get in the season historically there is less storm development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrp96 Posted October 15, 2007 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Officially June 1st through November 30th. Usually it has died down though by early November but that is no guarantee. This year there was a subtropical storm named in May and a few years ago there was a named storm in late December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancescaH Posted October 15, 2007 #4 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hurricane season is beginning of June to end of November but the busiest months are generally August and September. We've cruised late November into December and the weather has been fine as a general rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apoggi Posted October 15, 2007 #5 Share Posted October 15, 2007 We've never had a hurricaine problem in October or November but they can be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loucat Posted October 17, 2007 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2007 We've never had a hurricaine problem in October or November but they can be there. Not sure if you are responding from the area you live in. I live in South Florida and this is the area that remains a concern throught the season. I use weatherundeground.com and watch Dr. Masters predictions and reports. We have done well so far this year :) and in 2006. However, we had Wilma late October 2005 that caused havic, especially on the east coast. Hope we all get through this season in great cruising weather:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtulipe Posted October 17, 2007 #7 Share Posted October 17, 2007 The good news is that a cruise ship can out run a hurricane so your itinerary may change but most captain will avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattInFLL Posted October 19, 2007 #8 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Of course this year they predicted and predicted, and we had no major storms near South Florida... actually no tropical storms at all. But it would be one in a thousand for you to experience a hurricane in December... the prices are low because the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are traditionally very slow cruise months. People don't cruise when preparing for the holidays.. they cruise during the holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
