Has anybody had a problem booking a carribean cruise in the fall(sept) because of hurricane season?

Question

I wanted to book a cruise next september for the Western or Eastern Carribean, but heard that it's hurricane season, has anybody had any problems??

Answer 1

You will get the best deals in cruises during fall.  And don't worry for the hurricane season.

Answer 2

I have cruised on an Eastern Caribbean cruise in October and on a Western Caribbean cruise in August, both during hurricane season.  I didn't have any weather issues on either cruise.  In case of a hurricane, your itinerary may need to change though if there is a storm in your path (or if one of your destinations was recently affected by a storm).  As long as you don't have a problem with the posibility of your itinerary changing, I would definitely recommend cruising during that time of year.  The weather is usually great!

Answer 3

The ships continue to sail unabated, hurricane season or not! You won't have a problem booking your cruise and indeed, you might get a very good price because of the hurricane season. If there are problems with the weather, the company will have plenty of advance warning and will vary the route to take account of it. It is possible (although not likely) that you may be prevented from docking in a particular destination, but that is the slight risk you take by travelling at that time. You will certainly be well cared for and have a good time.
