October is one of the least popular months to visit the Caribbean due to increased rainfall and hurricane risk. Because of that, October is also one of the cheapest months to take a cruise from Florida.
What to expect from the weather on the October cruise?
October is still very warm, with afternoon highs around 87 degrees F and evening lows around 73 degrees F. The sea temperature reaches 85 degrees Fahrenheit, making it an ideal season for water sports and diving. Rain, primarily in brief afternoon and overnight showers, breaks up the humidity; rain falls on 12 of the month’s 31 days on average. To escape strong storms and hurricanes, southern islands such as Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao, as well as Trinidad, Grenada, and Barbados, are best visited in September on a cruise from Florida.
