One of the best months to travel to the Bahamas, December is warm and dry. Winter is the high season for the Caribbean and the Bahamas so there may be a lot of other travelers there during this time but for good reason. Coco Cay only sees 44 mm of rainfall throughout the entire month. And due to the winter months, the island sees only seven hours of sunshine on each dayut it will be enough to make sure your off-ship excursion is warm and sunny. Travellers can enjoy an average temperature of 22 degrees while on the island, with a potential low of 18 degrees and a high of 26 degrees.
The most notable holidays in the Bahamas overlap with those of the United Kingdom: Christmas Day and Boxing Day. On Boxing Day, some islands celebrate with Junkanoo festivals of parades, vibrant costumes and feasts.
The Royal Caribbean 7 Night Holiday Bahamas Cruise on the Explorer of the Seas is designed to make your holiday cruise perfect. Departing from Cape Liberty, New Jersey, this cruise is particularly easy to get to because of its proximity to the airports in New York City. From New Jersey, the ship sails to Port Canaveral, Florida, Nassau and then Coco Cay before returning to New Jersey.
For a relaxing time while you're in Coco Cay, consider booking a floating beach mat. This excursion is one of the most budget-friendly options available through Royal Caribbean. You'll get to slow down and savor your time on the white sand beaches and brilliantly turquoise waters of Coco Cay.
