Best Time To Go Cruise

[wee-haggis]

We are considering the Caribbean West cruise via Key West.
Can anyone recommend the quietest time to go?
And
Does that also translate as being the most reasonably priced time?
Thanks

We just got back from the seven-night Western Caribbean cruise a couple of weeks ago. It was great. I'm not sure what you're asking about the quietest time--least crowded on ship, least crowded in ports, quietest in terms of volume/kids on ship? Anyway, the ship was close to full capacity but it really never seemed overcrowded--it was very enjoyable. Disney also does a great job of offering kids events, family events, and adults-only events, so if you wanted quiet you could find it. As for the ports, I think it depends on your excursion.

quiet time

Thanks for responding. Glad you had a good time. We were asking because we have seen and read that the pools (especially the Mickey pool are always REALLY crowded -- overflowing. Also wondered if you could tell us what is the earliest they serve breakfast on board?.
Thanks

The Micley pool can definitely be very crowded and I seem to recall that eing the case. However, since we were on our honeymoon we avoided that pool and just went to Quiet Cove and the adult pool. As for breakfast, I believe they started serving the sit-down breakfasts at 7:00, but the buffet may have opened earlier. I still have all our stuff from the cruise at home so I'll try to look tonight when I get home from work and post a definite answer for you. Let me know if you have more questions and I'll try to help!

Generally the fall is the least crowded time to go. It's also hurricane season! :brick:

Anytime is a great time to cruise! But you have to be ready to deal w/ Hurricanes in hurrican season, they will just take you somewhere else, but who cares your on a ship it is still great!
