I'm going on a Caribbean trip. The weather looks like it's going to rain in 3 out of the 4 places. Should I worry or what?
(I would like answers from people who have been on a cruise.)

Nothing to worry about at all. Rain in the Caribbean is usually brief, light showers that's over within 10 - 15 minutes and then the sun comes out so hot that you wondered if it just rained. I live in the Caribbean so I know first hand. The Hurricane Season in the Caribbean runs June 1 - Nov 30, if we ever get heavy rains, it would be during this season where the most rain usually falls around September.
You'll have a great time. By the way, where will your 3 stops take you. I hope one of them is Antigua where we have 365 LOVELY beaches: pearly white sand, crystal clear waters, warm, friendly, inviting, accommodating people and lots and lots to do in the day time and night. Either way, ALL of the Caribbean islands are absolutely wonderful, so you will not regret visiting any one of them.
Have a great trip!!!!

Been on 3 Caribbean cruises and it's rained during each of them. HOWEVER, each of those times were very brief and light showers. You'll actually get more wet from standing on the beach enjoying the sun and having the water splash up on you then from rain showers. And the showers are a nice relief from the hot and kind of refreshing. We've also been cruising in the sun and a little ways away watching a shower. They're very spotty and brief if you do actually have one over you. The sun shines way, way more than the showers fall.
So the answer is, no, don't worry a bit about it. With comparing the periods of sun and rain, the worry you will have is to worry that you have enough sun screen on to avoid sunburn more so than possibly getting a few drops of rain showers on you. And remember, lots of the rain showers occur on a part of the island while other parts are sunshine. Enjoy the trip!!

Actually rain keeps the temp down a bit and feels good. Remember, even if it rains - it will be warm rain!
Take a compact umbrella with you - for use in the sun and in case it rains.
Be safe and Enjoy yourself!!

The rain showers are usually very brief..No need to worry about them...I find them refreshing as it is very hot.
Good luck

no, don't worry. Depends on how long your planning on staying out there. During hurricane season i will suggest you worry if your in area where hurricane normally pass

Don't worry. It won't rain all day, but just in spurts.
