I want to go to the caribbean but it's hurricane season so I don't know what to do! We have to wait until then to go since FH is in college and that's really the best time for him & my vacay time starts again in August so it works better for me too. Ideas anyone??

i've gone on a cruise on august 7-21 time period every year for the last 7 years and i've never had a problem with weather - all the cruises were to bermuda or to the caribbean

i know a lot of people go to st. lucia b/c hurricanes rarely go there

Weather by Date
First, a month-by-month guide to the best weather where and when, excerpted from Lucy Hone's The Good Honeymoon Guide (Trail Blazer Publications). Get more details about a destination's year-round weather from a travel guidebook or by calling its tourism board (find phone numbers and/or websites at www.towd.com). Just before you go, be sure to check the forecast at a weather website such as weather.com to help you pack.

Remember that this is a guide to when different destinations traditionally experience the most ideal weather of the year. The months immediately preceding and succeeding a destination's prime time are often called 'shoulder' seasons, and usually have good weather as well.

Thanks for the ideas/info. I found a cruise that leaves from San Juan and since FH's fam on his mom's side is from PR we really want to go visit. He hasn't been there since he was 5! I'm thinking of going 2 days before and staying 2 days after the cruise. It's not even that expensive I can't wait to be able to book it!
