Travelcat2 Posted July 30, 2009 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Don't know if your ship's pool will be heated, but, the Caribbean waters should be lovely and warm.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sail7seas Posted July 30, 2009 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Most ship's pools are not heated by other than sun. It is swimsuit/shorts weather all year in the Caribbean. Of course, you can encounter a rainy day but it is never Cold. Water temp can vary by currents/storms but for most people who don't need the water to be 85 degrees and up :D, swimming is almost always reasonably possible.

pinkmonkey14 Posted July 30, 2009 Author #4 Share Posted July 30, 2009 How about Grand Cayman, Cozumel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted July 30, 2009 #5 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Water temps in Bahamas and Caribbean are very warm in November - it's just past Summer, and is only starting to cool down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelntreats Posted July 31, 2009 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2009 How about Grand Cayman, Cozumel? Beautiful weather in November, warm water and warm breezes..... Water temps in Bahamas and Caribbean are very warm in November - it's just past Summer, and is only starting to cool down. Caribbean YES.... will be warm, but the Bahamas weather will be similar to that of south florida... and water temps DO COOL DOWN SIGINIFICANTLYat that time of the year compared to July or August.

ehfl Posted July 31, 2009 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The Bahamas can be cool if a cold front comes through. The Caribbean should be warm year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegirlum Posted July 31, 2009 #8 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Where are you from? As a midwesterner, I find the weather down there to be perfect for swimming in November, but I know that some folks who live in the South find it a bit "chilly." :eek: Make sure to go to Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman. It's beautiful. The water was like bath water when we were there in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL....I am one of those 85 degrees and up people, but I plan to TRY and snorkel in the frigid 80 degree water when we go to Cozumel in mid November.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted August 1, 2009 #12 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Water around Cozumel will still be in mid 80's in November -- it never falls below 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarpHarp Posted August 1, 2009 #15 Share Posted August 1, 2009 How about eastern caribbean at the end of December. can you even swim at the ports/ st. thomas, etc. As a former resident of St Thomas, I can assure you that the water in November is beautiful and warm. I can sort of remember a Thanksgiving where the turkey almost burned because we were enjoying the water so much. It was either the lovely warm water or the Pina Coladas made with Bacardi 151:D Many residents spend Christmas afternoon on the beach- New Years day too. Depending on exactly where you are you may run into a cool current, but the water is usually as warm or warmer that any heated swimming pool in the states.

Caribbean Sunsets Posted August 1, 2009 #16 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I've cruised during Thanksgiving to both the Eastern and Western Caribbean. Beautiful, warm waters...great for swimming. I've also found the pool temps very comfortable and inviting. I live in New England, and we are lucky if the water temps hit 70 degrees by the end of the summer!
