Too Much Time in the Tropics?

[Talent312]

Next year, we're doing a 10N cruise from Ft. Lauderdale (Princess),
followed by 2N in the Keys, and 7N in Marco Island (Eagle's Nest).

I'm thinking that 19N in the tropics may be a bit much.
Perhaps we should cut Marco Island down to just 3-4N?
... but then a Marco Island T/S is not easy to get...

Depends on the time of year. Summer: yeah, that would be a lot of hot, humid days if you weren't used to it. Fall, Winter, Spring: generally nice weather so no problem. I'm a bit bias, since I live in the "tropics" (SW Florida, not far from Marco Island) six months out of the year.

Honestly? That sounds ah-maaazing. Even in July, I think I could suffer through that. After all, I bet all of those places have air conditioning.

Lol, no such thing as too much time, unless as @PigsDad said, it is in the summer time. We used to spend 3 mos (Jan.1 >Mar. 31) in Corozal Belize which is at 18* lat., now we just go for 2 months and spend 2 mos on either side of that in Florida. If we didnt own our condo in FL, and our apartment in Belize was a little bigger, we could easily spend more time there. It is much cheaper and easier to fly home for Christmas from Florida than Belize and the rainy season doesn't really end in Belize until the end of November. Your body adjusts to the higher temps and then when you go back to 70*F temps you are freezing!
