Weather in Eastern Caribbean in March

[wildcatt99]

We have just booked the Eastern Caribbean for March of 2011 (San Juan, St. Thomas, Grand Turks and Caicos). We were wondering if someone could tell us how the weather and the water is at this time of year. This is our first time doing the Eastern. Thanks.

Were were on this same trip this March on the Glory. The weather was

very nice. We had some limited rain showers in grand turk. But the rest of

the trip it was in the mid to high 80's during the day.

 

The water can be a little on the cooler side. on some of the more

northern ports.

Was the water very choppy, especially if you have to tender in?

It's the Atlantic Ocean. Any ocean, during any time of the year, can be choppy. BTW - None of your ports require a tender. :)

I grew up in Puerto Rico. March is a GREAT time of year! Probably one of the best times of the year.

 

Temperature will be in the 80's, not as much rain as duing the summer and fall. (keep in mind that when you sail in the Caribbean, you DO have a chance of showers almost on a daily basis, but they are usually brief).

This will be our first summer cruise, we usually sail in March. I concur that the Atlantic can be choppy. We have always been blessed w/ wonderful weather.

 

We like March because it gets us away from Pittsburgh winters!!!

Thank you very much for all your replies. That makes us feel a lot better. So, Half Moon Cay is a "docked" port? If so, that is wonderful. We are always worried about the tender rocking and getting sick.

half Moon Cay is a tender port. However, it's a short trip to the dock.

 

The ones you listed, (San Juan, St. Thomas, Grand Turks and Caicos), are docked ports.
