Is there a bad month to take a cruise? |
Travel Info I am planning on taking a cruise, and I was thinking about going in October. But, I was told it was a bad month because of hurricane season. Anyone gone in October and had a great time? Travel Tips there really isn't a bad month at all, usually people think late august is the "bad" month because of the strong hurricanes usually but like another user said, the ship will do all it can to avoid the hurricane it will not drive you striaght into the hurricane. Plus you get credited usually for the "inconvience" of the hurricane, for example a few years ago i went on a cruise with my mom and sister, and we were supposed to leave out of tampa but because of hurricane katrina coming into the gulf we did not leave from there we left from ft lauderdale instead and for this minor inconvince ( the ship had to leave later than planned) eveyrone on the ship was given $50 credit, which was pretty nice, $5O of free booze! haha my adivce plan the cruise and have fun, know the ship will avoid the storm if there is one! Others What region are you looking at? Most cruises are best during certain seasons only. Alaska is not possible during winter, the Med is generally unpleasant during winter and the north atlantic cruises generally also only run during the summer. Carribean curises go all year round but there is a hurricane season which is cheaper to travel in but should be avoided if possible - there are many stories of cruises having to skip ports / change route etc. due to weather BEWARE THE IDES OF MARCH! soothesayer:julius ceaser I like the fall. I usually go in September, because it is cheaper. As far as hurricanes go, the ship will avoid them. They will reroute your itinerary in the case of a hurricane. If you go in the summer, it will be so hot on the islands, it would be miserable. Last September it wass 100 degrees in Cozumel. sa While October is during hurricane season, the peak time for the Atlantic Hurricane Season is late August to Mid September. |
