Here is question 4 from the first set of questions and some comments that people had. (I have a feeling that it was too vague and needs to be asked again in a different manner!)

4) What time of the year would be best for a Caribbean or Mediterranean cruise? A) Winter B) Spring C) Fall D) Summer

D Again it depends on destination. Summer would be better for Europe, Scandinavia and Russia. Winter would be better for the Caribbean and for South America and Australia -- but by alternating during the seasons you could turn it into a full time job, not a seasonal one.

Whenever the weather is good there.

I am not sure of the weather and temp at the different seasons. We went in April and it was nice and warm...but not too hot.

Best time for ANYTHING in the Mediterranean is C, fall.

D, local summer that is

Summer too hot

I don't know about the Mediterranean but it would seem the Caribbean would be warm all year. Except during Hurricane season, so let's rule out the fall.

You just have to remember about Hurricane Season.

Summer for the area we’re going to.

The best times for a Caribbean cruise are: JAN, FEB, MARCH & APRIL.
And the Mediterranean cruise would be: MAY, JUNE, JULY, AUG, SEPT & OCT.

THE OTHER MONTHS ARE NOT GOOD CRUISE WEATHER, UNLESS YOU PLAN ON WEARING ALOT OF RAINGEAR!! AND SLEEPLESS NITES WITH STORMY WEATHER!

P.S. You are in for a treat if you decide to cruise. Glorious fun and would really be nice with a group of similar interest.

Caribbean - November; Mediterranean - late spring

I don't know what time of the year is good for those
types of cruises, it would depend on the weather in
those locations. I went on a Caribbean cruise in May
and the weather was perfect. I would want the weather
to be warm with not much rain if I am going to be
riding my bike! Most of the ports in the Caribbean were
humid, but tolerable. I live in the Central Valley of
California and our down time for riding here is in
December and January due to the cold foggy rainy
weather. Cruise ships offer good deals during their off
peak times, so I have no idea what would be a good time.

When the weather is 80 degrees ... I like leaving Alaska in the winter.

Winter in the Caribbean - after the hurricanes season officially ends Nov 1. till May
I'm not sure about the Med

I would think that winter and fall would be ideal since we have riding weather here in Summer and Spring - it would be nice to go over during the winter and fall to get some riding in that we can't do at home.

Caribbean: Spring, winter (not summer: hot). Remember that late August to November is hurricane season in most Caribbean islands

Mediterranean (I am myself form the South of France): Spring, summer and fall. Winter can be cold and damp. Spring being the best along with early fall. The Med can have a lot of tourists in the summer.

N.B.: A lot of Caribbean islands have limitations on the size of engines 2 wheel vehicles can have. For instance Bermuda has an upper engine size limit of 100cc. Does it apply to visitors vehicles? I am not sure. Most Caribbean’s have scooters for rent.

Spring or winter before not after the big winds off the Florida coast. Summer to hot and humid for bikers (wives).

Spring would be nice because it's not too hot yet, and it's also not hurricane season.

Fall-less crowds

(Early Spring) Late summer is Hurricane season, too much to worry about regarding weather.

Definitely when it's WARM, regardless of what season it is.

Spring or early fall in Med. or summer in USA.

January/Feb. Guys are getting the itch to ride again.

A – Winter into March.
