Frequently Asked Questions

Is Memorial Day weekend too short for Caribbean travel?

Not at all! With 2-3 hour flights from Newark, you can be on a Caribbean beach by noon Friday and return Monday night, giving you 3 full days in paradise. Many extend through Tuesday for extra relaxation.

Are Memorial Day weekend prices higher?

Surprisingly, Memorial Day often has better prices than peak summer. It's before high season, after Spring Break, and hotels offer promotions to kick off summer. Book early for best deals.

What's the weather like in the Caribbean for Memorial Day?

Fantastic! Late May offers ideal Caribbean weather - sunny, warm (80s), low rain chance, and calm seas. It's before hurricane season and after the winter winds. Perfect beach conditions!

Should I book a cruise or resort for Memorial Day weekend?

Both work well! 4-night cruises from Cape Liberty are popular for Memorial Day. Resorts offer more beach time and flexibility. Consider your priorities: multiple destinations (cruise) or relaxation (resort).
