When most people think of cruising, they envision the clear blue seas and tropical isles of the Caribbean. The best time of year for a Caribbean cruise is the spring, when the sun shines brightly through clear skies accented by puffy clouds almost every day. 
If we have children in school or work obligations that limit our vacations to summer, then our family Caribbean cruise probably comes between June and August. What kind of weather can we expect then? 
On most days in most ports, it will be more of the same sunny skies and comfortably warm weather, but officially, summer is the first half of hurricane season, and those words sound scary. What does it mean to your family? 
The peak of tropical storm activity is September, and as the summer approaches September, the possibility of a storm increases, but there is not a storm every day in every part of the Caribbean. With sophisticated weather forecasting and onboard equipment, cruise lines brilliantly re-deploy their ships to avoid hurricanes. 
After all, they have a billion dollars tied up in the ship itself, not to mention a couple of thousand passengers to protect. They aren't foolhardy. 
The itineraries may be more subject to change, which makes being on a great ship more important, so you know you'll have a good time wherever you go. In the unlikely event that a cruise must be cancelled or delayed, cruise lines have been very generous in compensating passengers, 
and for those who have taken an abreviated cruise where they received hundreds of dollars in onboard credit or a discount on future cruises, it has been something of a windfall. Airlines also cooperate to accommodate passengers. Any lingering doubts you may have can be neutralized by purchasing travel insurance.
