Question
thinking to take a cruise around end Sept 20th or so....in the caribean , what would the weather be like at that time of year .??
Jackie...I would reconsider. September and October is peak hurricane season in the Caribbean. Though it is at times hit or miss, its a risk. Hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 1st. Now not all weeks of every month has bad weather but September and October are more probable. Sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear but Its incumbent of me to be very honest, especially when you may spend quite a few bucks to vacation. If you do decide to cruise in September, make Aruba a must in your cruise itinerary. Aruba is out of the hurricane belt and they only get approximately 4 inches of precipitation per year. Thats why they call it the happy island!!
