Caribbean Cruise
​Best time to travel:​ The best time to take a Caribbean cruise is typically between December and April. This period offers the most pleasant weather, with warm temperatures, sunny skies, and low chances of rain. It’s also outside of hurricane season, which runs from June to November. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, you might find better deals in the shoulder months (May and November), though there's a slightly higher chance of rain or storms. December to April is also peak season, so it’s ideal for great weather, but expect higher prices and more crowds.​
