October cruise?

[chance]

I can choose between October 6 (Freeport stop)
October 13 (1 day at sea)
October 27 (1 day at sea)

All of those date have early seating. I want the best weather for swimming in the pools and beach (with out a hurricane) :).

I am afraid November is to late to go. But can go November 10 or 17th but I want my children to be able to swim????

How is the weather mid October and late October?
What about mid November.

I've cruised both in early October and early December, and the weather was plenty warm for swimming both times. In October, it's still VERY hot. In December, the water was very warm in St. Maarten, and still warm enough to swim in on Castaway Cay. I would imagine November would be fine for swimming. The pools are heated.

As far as choosing a time to miss a hurricane, there's really no difference between October and November. Historically, November may have had fewer storms, but the biggest storm of last season, Michelle, was during November, and there was even a storm which lasted into December. I wouldn't worry about hurricanes. You can't do anything about them, and the ship will avoid them, so there's no danger.

We sailed in January and the weather was beautiful. The water was warm enough to swim so I don't see November being a problem as far as water temps.
