When is the best time of year to cruise to the Bahamas from Miami?

Question

I'm thinking about booking a cruise in September, but I don't know if that's hurricane season or not...

Answer 1

September is the last of the hurricane season there.  It is really better to set up the first 2 weeks in December and first 2 in January.  Those are the least expensive if you use Norweigen Cruise Lines (NCL).   Also, if you have the freedom to do so, go to  http://www.vacationstogo.com/emailtick.c...  and get a last minute cruise, then you'll save even more and sometimes get a far better cabin onboard!

Answer 2

book it during like in the late of the year cuz i heard it's cheaper....

Answer 3

I would go sometime in november-march because it gets really hot down in miami so if you want to stay away from sweating go sometime in there....

if you don't care bout the heat i would go sometime in november-may there are no hurricanes...

if you choose to go in december stay away from the last 2 weeks (it is christmas break so lots of family go on cruises)

it is also the cheapest time to buy a cruise

if you choose january--usually the 1st wk is very cheap,

HINT  

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PASSPORT I WOULDN'T GO ON A CRUISE TILL NOVEMBER...BECAUSE YOU NEED A PASSPORT TO GET OFF THE SHIP IN SOME PLACES...AND IT TAKES AWHILE TO GET THE PASSPORT IN AND ALL...

hope that helps alot

Answer 4

The hurricane season EVERY year is June through the end of October.  So if you want to stay away from the possibility of  hurricane then take your Bahamas cruise November through May.  If you go in Sept there may or may not be a hurricane.  If you do book for that time then for sure book travel insurance, either with the cruise line or a private travel insurance co like Travelex:  http://www.travelex.com/us/personal/trav...

Cruise lines will do all that they can to stay away from hurricanes and bad weather.  They will change the planned cruise itinerary and go to different islands if a hurricane is threatening.  So they will do what they can to prevent you from having a bad experience.
