April 2005 - How's this time of year?

[sardan]

Well, our dates have changed and we're thinking about taking the Eastern 7-Day that departs April 30, 2005. This time seems to have some really good prices. How is April 30 for cruising with respect to weather and roughness of the seas. I know there's no way to predict, but I'm hoping to get some of your experiences for this time of year.

We're first time cruisers and are so excited about the fact that we may be going on this cruise. Any info/help would be greatly appreciated!!

From what I have heard, April and May are very nice times to be cruising the Caribbean. I know I'm looking forward to it next April!!!

We went April 2003.
Casatway Cay day was a little bit chilly for me to spend any time in the water- but otherwise it was wonderful! We could spend a lot of time walking around deck or in the ports and be comfortable without roasting!

I'll let you know when I get back. We're leaving on the 3-night Wonder on 4/29. I've been to the Bahamas in March before and it was very hot and steamy. I imagine the ship might be cooler on the water, but in general it's pretty hot in the Carribean at this time of year. I'm also from New England, so if the water temp. is above 50, we're usually in

Just got back from the 4/8 wonder cruise and the weather was beautiful. The water in CC was a bit chilly at first but once you got use to it it was great. HAve a great time

We were at the rear of the ship in cabin 6652 and could not even feel and waves on the ocean. Water was calm even with a thunderstorm during the night. Can't wait to go again
