The truth is that no one can tell you. You can look up how many hurricanes have happened during a particular month in the past, but that is no guarantee of anything. Obviously, September is dead high season, but hurricanes happen when and where they want to. Not so much lately, but we used to travel to the Caribbean almost every year in either September or October. We only had two vacations at all impacted by hurricanes.

One-We were on a (big ship) cruise during Luis in 1991. We were due to visit the Eastern Caribbean and ended up in the Western Caribbean instead. It was very odd, as it was DEAD flat calm throughout the Western Caribbean. We mused at the time that it seemed like Luis had sucked all the life out of the rest of the Caribbean. Back then, the internet wasn't what it is today, and we had no idea at the time of the massive destruction that was being wrought in the Eastern Caribbean, while we sailed on dead calm waters.

Two--And do you know when the only time was that we had a vacation really impacted by a hurricane? Lenny--on NOVEMBER 17, 1999. We had to leave early from St John, in advance of the storm. It turned out that St John did not really suffer that much damage, but they wanted to get a convention of lawyers off the island ASAP.
