The Best Time to Visit

The most popular months to visit the Caribbean are, generally speaking December to April because:

The air is less humid than in the other months
The temperatures are cooler
Those living in the Northern Hemisphere want to escape their winter

However, we would recommend booking your Caribbean cruise holiday around May, June and November. Even though there is a chance of an odd shower, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks:

The peak season is over, thus the prices are lower
The weather is still comfortable
The beaches are less crowded
These months are all outside of the rain season
