17 Captivating Photos That Showcase the Joy of Autumn Cruising

What’s the prime time for a Caribbean cruise? Experienced travelers recommend April and July. Those months tend to have fewer crowds and delightful weather. However, I’d like to propose adding late autumn to the list of ideal times for a Caribbean cruise, especially in November and the first half of December.

While it's true that it's the tail end of hurricane season, the chances of encountering a hurricane or tropical storm are quite slim. In fact, we enjoyed fantastic weather during our cruise last November. (Note that western Caribbean islands usually experience better weather in November compared to eastern ones.) Plus, with the holiday season approaching, you can often find great deals on island cruises in November.

Rather than crafting a lengthy 17,000-word article to back up my assertion that cruising during the colder months is fantastic, I've decided to let the photos from our journey speak for themselves—after all, a picture is worth a thousand words! So, here are 17 of our favorite snapshots from our cruise on the Dinogo Dream last November.

Looking at these photos really makes me long for the days spent on the cruise ship. It was such a fantastic experience! We definitely need to plan another one in 2016. But where should we go?
