I just returned from a four-night cruise out of Miami on the Oasis of the Seas to The Bahamas (November 1 - 5).  It was lovely.. not long enough. ❤️   Enjoy!

 

Thanks!  Yeah definitely not long enough....you can always turn around and go back to port and join us.  :D  :whistling:

 

It's my parent's "40th belated anniversary" cruise.  So it's a special one for my family.  I actually have an uncle flying in from Utah to join us.  Ahh it can't come soon enough!  I can't wait...  :ecstatic:

I don't think I would ever go cruising, especially when this happens:

If I did, it would be on one of these.

We've been 11 times and only got sick once. It was at the end of the cruise (so we didn't miss anything) and it was probably COVID.

About 82 degrees.

 

Most of these islands stay around 80-90 degrees year round. They just have "dry" and "rainy" seasons. 

Perfect weather for cruising. We have been on Caribbean cruises in the first two weeks of December, and it always seemed to us to be the perfect time to go. The weather is nice and the prices are cheap.:D

Exactly!

 

This is our first time in November and the boat ride has been the most windy and choppy we've ever seen. We normally go in January after all the holidays are over and it's pretty smooth sailing. Great weather too, only got rained out once.

We liked the first part of December because it was after the hurricane season and the weather is generally smoother. It's after the Thanksgiving holiday so most people and families have already done their vacation time and the prices haven't gone up yet. The only drawback is the Christmas decorations.
