Caribbean in August

[Cardiffcup]

Would love to know thoughts on cruising early to mid August in Caribbean Experiences? Thanks

Hot and humid for the most part. Downpours that can last a few minutes, and then the sun would come out again.

On the upside....the water is like bath water. :)

It is hot and humid.

We had some rainy days.

Agree about the weather! Many ships that cater to families have more kids than other times of the year.

It is the low season since it is very hot and humid and it is also hurricane season.

 

With that said some ships sail then and we have been there that time of year before.

Hurricanes/Tropical Storms are always a concern when cruising in the Caribbean in August.

[champagne123]

Hurricane Season is SIX MONTHS out of the year. No way of predicting when one may occur.

 

Hurricane Season: June, July, August, September, October, and November.

 

If everyone concerned themselves with "Hurricane Season", no one would cruise six out of the twelve months of the year.

 

We have "coincidentally" ONLY traveled during Hurricane Season and have YET to confront one.

It's definitely hot. Really hot. But the ship is air conditioned so if you don't spend all day in port you'll be fine. The only thing to watch out for is if you have to tender into a port and then get stuck in a long, sweltering line to tender back. Avoid that at all costs. Come back early or skip the port. Otherwise, you'll be fine. I've cruise the Bahamas and Caribbean in August many times.
