Southampton to caribbean cruise

Hi, will anyone please give me some advice? What is the best time (sea journey wise and weather), to visit the Caribbean via Southampton. I know this cruise would be around October-Feb/March time, so I am a little concerned about the Atlantic crossing! Thank you in advance for your feed back.

The Atlantic is impossible to predict. However, I would always choose Jan/Feb as opposed to October. October is the end of hurricane season and also you get big October gales. Also, don't forget you go south, so after the first 3 days, you are in the warmer seas. They usually stop at the Azores or Madeira. after that it's lovely.

We’ve just booked for this years October Azura TA and did Britannia a few years ago, we also did the Caribbean from Miami last year.

Hurricanes are a worry and two of our ports were changed last year but never had a bad cruise weather wise yet.

Personally I would always choose the March translantic as although no one can predict the weather, storms are more likely in October which is the end of hurricane season.If I could only go in October I would still be happy to go but March would always be my first choice.

Also I believe for much of the Caribbean October is the tail end of the rainy season, and January, February and March are much more likely to be dry.

Jan, Feb, March apparently the currents are more predictable then...all the posh yachts tend to cross at that time from Med to Caribbean I have been told
