Carnival Pride in Oct

[Jennifer128]

Going on our first cruise in Oct to Mexican Riviera... I know it is hurricain season and I was wondering if anyone could give us any feedback as to what to expect. I've done some research, but would like to hear from actual travelers. Thank you.

We went southern caribbean last October. Saw rain one day for a few hours but other than that the seas were smooth and the weather was beautiful !!

Hope you're just as lucky

The Eastern Pacific is not nearly as susceptible to hurricanes as the Western Atlantic. Hurricanes TEND to start on the eastern sides of oceans and work themselves across to the western edge (Canes TEND to work their way across the Pacific to the western shores where they are known as typhoons - Caribbean hurricanes in the Atlantic frequently start forming off the western coast of Africa and work themselves across to the western shores of the Atlantic).

 

Having said that the Mexican Riviera gets a hurricane now and then, but not nearly something to be as concerned about as the Caribbean cruiser. :)

As far as it being a long ways away, We just need to get past this Summer and October will come fast.

The storms in the Eastern Pacific off Cabo are at their worst around July or August. After giving Mexico their "best," they meander up the Sea of Cortez and hit Arizona, Nevada and the "desert" areas of SoCal and cause muggy, cloudy weather for a few days over LA. (Yea, I know, LA is also desert, but it's costal desert.)

 

Anyone remember a few summers back that it rained so hard in Vegas that the shops at Caesar's Palace were flooded out? That was the remains of the kind of tropical storm that Pride tries (and succeeds) to give wide berth.

 

By October it's long gone.

 

But note this summer that when you see rain and flooding forecast for Tucson or Vegas, it means there was a storm off Baja and that the cruise ships dodged it.
