Best Time to Cruise - Weather

[pearljim]

We'd like to surprise my parents and take them on a 4 day cruise. However, both are pushing 80 and don't respond well to really hot weather.

What times during the year would you recommend we consider?

Many thanks!!

I have always cruised in February - the weather has been perfect - not too hot and not too cold. I'd highly recommend it. My son has also cruised in October with his grandparents, and the weather was great then too. If heat's a problem, you should probably avoid the hot summer months of July and August. However, the temperature in the Caribbean only fluctuates about 10 degrees year round (that's why it's cruise heaven).

Have a great time.
