NEVER Cruise During These Months! (They Could Ruin Your Trip)
What are the worst months to take a cruise? Before booking your next cruise, there are certain times of year that could mean hurricanes, typhoons, rough seas, cancelled ports, extreme heat, huge crowds and even a completely changed itinerary. In this cruise travel guide, we reveal the cruise months you need to think twice about for Caribbean cruises, Alaska cruises, Mediterranean cruises, Japan cruises and South Pacific sailings. From the peak of Caribbean hurricane season and Japan’s typhoon season to late-season Alaska weather, Mediterranean summer heat, norovirus season and Spring Break crowds, choosing the wrong month can make a huge difference to your vacation. These cruise tips could help you avoid one of the biggest cruise mistakes of all — booking the right ship and the right itinerary at the wrong time of year.
