June in the Caribbean weather?

[vikequeen]

I am hoping to take an eastern Caribbean cruise next year. Debating between June and Dec. It will cost twice as much in Dec so leaning toward June. But I am worried about weather as it seems very iffy/potentially rainy. Thoughts on June for cruising? Appreciate any input.

Last June we sailed an eastern caribbean cruise and the weather was great. High temps in the 80s each day. We had no rain.

We stopped at St Maarten, St Thomas/St John and Castaway Cay.

That is essentially the itinerary I am looking at. It sounds fabulous!

It's hot!

Yes. Done the Eastern trek twice. We have really enjoyed St John. The ship docks at St Thomas and a quick ferry gets you to St Johns...beautiful beaches.

We had major rain 5 years ago in St Martaan and it was in the Morning.............otherwise, beautifully hot the rest of the trip.

You can Google the weather at each of the ports and get the average temps/humidity.

June in the Caribbean? Hot!

Hot, Hot, Hot! And Humid. And the beginning of Hurricane season. In addition to proximity to the holidays, that's why December is so much more expensive.

thx . . I did google and that's where I read that it is the rainy season, so was hoping for some anecdotal experience to supplement.

We went on a EC cruise in early June 2 years ago. As I mentioned before, it was hot. We visited St. Thomas, St. Marten, and CC. We didn't have any rain. Does that help?

Thx it is helpful for me to hear the real experience. I'm sorry my original question in retrospect was a little vague. Really loving this intinerary but the weather makes me nervous as we wouldn't typically travel that time of year.

We sailed the Fantasy 6/30 -7/7 in 2012. Hot and humid but no real rain except for a sprinkle here or there in the PM on St Thomas. Very relaxed time of year. We were only ship in each port!
