December through April delivers the driest, calmest port days — and the highest fares, especially around Christmas and spring break. Late April through early June is a common shoulder: good weather, fewer families than peak, and softer pricing before summer heat and rain build.
July and August suit families on summer break despite humidity. September through mid-November is the bargain window with the most rain and hurricane risk (official season June 1 through November 30). Lines reroute around storms; port substitutions are possible on fall sailings.
