demisod Posted May 6, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Why are there so few ships doing Caribbean routes in the summer? Is it as hot as the blazes there or can the lines make more money on other routes in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscruising Posted May 6, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Hi: I don't know what cruise line you are looking at, but RCL has many ships doing the Caribbean all summer long. Just to name a few-Adventure, Voyager. Explorer, Enchantment. They leave every week from either a port in Fla. or San Juan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demisod Posted May 6, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I was thinking of Celebrity and HAL only having one ship sail in the Caribbean in the summer, or Princess only having one or two. It seems to be an offseason there for a lot of the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted May 7, 2004 #4 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Like the song says, hot, hot hot. And hurricane season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted May 7, 2004 #5 Share Posted May 7, 2004 It's a bit of both. Ships that do Alaska or other Northern routes in the summer often are in the Caribbean in the winter. Tough to do Alaska or the Baltic or New England (or even the Med) during the winter, so those ships move to winter locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 9, 2004 #6 Share Posted May 9, 2004 It is more lucrative for them to do Alaska and European cruises in the summer. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanetMarie Posted May 10, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 10, 2004 For the very reason that DH and I do not cruise in the summer - too hot and hurricane season. OUR NEXT ONWARD JOURNEY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debs6475 Posted May 10, 2004 #8 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Hi, how hot is it in the summer and how often to they have to change routes due to hurricanes? We will be doing, Belieze, Roatan, Grand Cayman and Cozumel in June. Should I be worried? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
