Always the planner (like me!) my 16-year-old asks me a great question, “What are we going to do on our cruise if it rains?” You have this perfect, luxury cruise vacation planned, but somehow that doesn’t get conveyed to Mother Nature. It happens. The clouds start rolling in. I always try to look on the bright side that at least it’s raining while I’m vacationing on a cruise - not working, running errands, or driving carpool. Best Tips When It Rains On Your CruiseSO, what are you going to do on the ship?My first advice is to always check your daily cruise planner for the next day. Every cruise line includes the forecast so that you can try to tailor your activities around the weather. If clouds or drizzle is anticipated, getting dressed in your swim suit first thing in the morning might not be the best idea.
Virtual Hint: When rain hits, you may feel a bit more of the ocean. If you are concerned about seasickness, I have some great tips on ways to help seasickness. when visiting a poRt on a rainy day, things to know:
Whatever the weather, rest assured it won't be consistent for the entire cruise. Captains are experts in steering the ship towards better weather conditions. If you take part in the various activities, relax and pamper yourself, enjoy the different venues and types of food offered, and spend time with the friends and family you came on board with, you will always have the perfect cruise vacation.

Thanks, Allison! I love the Bahamas and I'm sure you'll love cruising. You can never be sure of the weather, but the nice thing is that it can change suddenly in the Bahamas. Even if it's raining one minute, the sun may come out the next. Have a great trip!

My Virtual Vacations BlogAbout the AuthorThanks for cruising by!
I'm the creator behind this blog, where I share our family’s love for travel, especially cruising. By day, I work full-time in an office—and all the time, I'm a proud mom to two amazing young men. We took our first cruise when they were energetic little boys, and I’ve included plenty of tips for traveling with kids in tow. With our packed work and school schedules, we cherish every holiday break and make the most of our time off. We gravitate toward cruises and luxury hotel stays, always on the lookout for family-friendly experiences that offer comfort, elegance, and a touch of indulgence—think spacious suites, gorgeous décor, excellent service, and memorable dining. When we're not traveling, you’ll find me enjoying local restaurants or getting creative in my own kitchen with cooking and baking. Start dreaming—and planning—your next luxurious getaway, whether by sea or on land, with My Virtual Vacations. I'm always happy to answer questions or offer personalized recommendations to help you make the most of your travels.
