if you want to make sure you catch the wildlife you're early to mid especially if you want to see the Bears

fall is a really cool time of year too number one cheapest for Caribbean because of hurricanes hurricane season

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book Caribbean cruises in winter for warmer weather, but be aware water can be rougher.
Visit Alaska in late May or early June for wildlife, or late June/July for salmon runs and bears.
Consider fall for the Mediterranean for better weather and lower prices/crowds.
Be cautious of spring break in March due to higher prices and crowds.
