Friend Mitch Geriminsky and I were discussing last night taking a cruise vacation later this year. We went on a cruise five years ago to Key West, Florida and Havana, Cuba.
We were almost ready to pull the trigger to take this one:
ROUNDTRIP FROM:Tampa, Florida
VISITING:Tampa, FloridaNassau, BahamasGrand Bahama Island, BahamasPerfect Day at CocoCay, BahamasKey West, FloridaTampa, Florida
I've been wanting to go to the Bahamas, so this seemed like a good choice and the price was reasonable. The dates were August 31 to September 7.
Earlier in the evening, I asked him to check on when hurricane season takes place, but he hadn't done it. We were about to book the cruise when I took a look about when hurricane season takes place.
Lo and behold, hurricane season is from August to October. I immediately told him, "Hold it!" and told him when is hurricane season and sent him the below video. It was a cruise caught in extreme weather en route to the Bahamas.
I suggested aiming for April or May of next year instead. The Cuba cruise was in April and the weather was great.
Before looking up hurricane season, I joked that the advantage of inside cabins (with no windows) is if the ship sinks, water can't get into the cabin.
