As someone who who has spent a land based vacation in St. Maarten during a category 5 hurricane, a cruise, anytime, is a better alternative. Since ships can easily avoid bad weather, don't worry. Travel when you can, and enjoy! You should be ok in August. I would worry more in September/October.

http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gifWe have Done many cruises in Aug, Sept and Oct. You may not get the ports of call but a cruise is better than work any day.

The best thing to do is book and not worry. If there is a storm you may miss some ports of call or have a change in itinerary. Just do not get upset if this has to happen. Out of my 22 cruises, I have only encountered one major storm and I have cruised many times during hurricane season. Not a big deal.
