Winter cruises to the CaribbeanDuring the months of January through March, you'll find idyllic tropical weather with temperatures in the mid 70s to low 80s and low humidity. January also marks the beginning of the Caribbean dry season, which greatly minimizes the chance of rain during your cruise vacation.
What is the peak season for cruises?
Summer is peak season with family vacations and honeymooners, so prices will be higher then. Expect a lift during spring break weeks, as well. Even though January, February and March bring more rain, the winter months are also peak season for tourists … and whales.
Are January cruises less crowded?
Another perk of sailing during the off-season is having fewer crowds onboard. Although most Royal Caribbean ships are currently sailing at nearly 100% capacity, you're likely to find fewer crowds on a January cruise compared to sailing at the busiest times of the year.
