May vs. November

[LeslieG]

I was at CC earlier this month. Weather was picture perfect. Would like to rebook for Nov 30, '06 because of the Xmas decs being up. But I fear I would be extremely disappointed if the CC weather was bad. What to do, rebook again for May, which seems to be a great time to go weather-wise, or do November for the Xmas decorations. Any opinions?

I have cruised 4 times in November, and the weather on CC was always gorgeous. Once we went through a hurricane, but CC was still gorgeous. The Christmas decorations were gorgeous too. We have gone the week before Thanksgiving and by the end of the cruise all the decorations were up. Kind of neat waking up every morning to new decorations!

We went in November '04, earlier in the month than you are thinking of, but the weather was gorgeous in CC and Nassau. We would go again at that time.

Hi FavoriteAuntie! It's me, DIS NURSE....so you mean to tell me that on our upcoming Nov. 12 cruise that by the time we get off there will be Christmas decorations everywhere? That's so great!

So how early in November could I go and still get all the Christmas decorations? I was assuming it was after Thanksgiving, but if I'm wrong, let me know.

I cruised Nove 30 of '03 and CC was cool. The sky was a bit overcast. We all had on jeans and/or sweatshirts and the water was too cool to swim. The kids did play in the sand while we lounged on beach chairs, but it was not hot by any stretch of the imagination. Of course, it was a LOT warmer than Ohio was late November of '03
