We are looking at an Eastern Carribean cruise on the Century in October. What is the weather like at sea this time of year? In the past we have always cruised in February .
I'm a little hesitant to cruise during hurricane season, but the prices are good.
Thanks for any help on this matter.

We had great weather with calm seas last October 27 to Nov 2 on The Millimmium .
It was very hot in San Juan but nice in St Thomas and we had an afternoon rain shower in Nassau.

We've never had a problem and have cruised during the hurricane season many times. I think we were lucky. My son and daughter-in-law just missed a major hurricane about six years ago. The captain had to leave the home port of San Juan two hours early, leaving passengers who were enroute to avoid getting the brunt of the storm. Sad for the passengers left behind but the logic is to sacrifice a few for the better of the majority. With all the technology now they can get a pretty good idea when and where to go. Be prepared for a change of itinerary and hope for the best. It wouldn't stop us from booking in September and October but it is always in the back of our minds.

We cruise in October and find the weather to be hot, but not as stifling as the summer. Very pleasant to us. We've not had any problem with tropical storms yet, but it's always a possibility, but then that's why the prices tend to be better. But if there is a storm, the Capt. will go around it. It may affect some of the ports you go to (or miss) but there will still be a cruise!

October can be very good. The hurricane season ends in September and most of the bad weather that erupts happens on the Atlantic East Coast (HELLO BERMUDA!). You should be fine. If there is a storm chances are that the ship can skirt around it and avoid the worst.

Can be wonderful or a nightmare depending if a hurricane is going through. I prefer the western and we tend to go at the end of October.

Never know what the weather will be like. Always a risk since it is still hurricane season. Prices are good then compared to Feburary.
