According to Cruise Critic, hurricane peak season in the Caribbean varies by geography. Typically, in the Eastern Caribbean, along the U.S. East Coast, the hurricane season is busiest between mid-August and mid-September. In the Western Caribbean, hurricane season picks up mid-September through November. During hurricane season in the tropical region of North America, anywhere from eight to 11 tropical storms usually take place. Five to seven of these storms typically turn into full-fledged hurricanes.
