I think hurricane season in the Atlantic and Caribbean is June thru November. I have lived in Louisiana all my life and do not recall one as early as May. However, we did have you a few years ago in December.
We were on a cruise in the Pacific in February and cruised through a Tropical Depression. WHAT A RIDE!!! IT WAS GREAT!!!All doors to the outside were locked and passengers were not allowed on any outside deck. I selpt like a baby. That was the best nights sleep I think I've ever had! The only thing I had to be careful of was ascending or descending the stairs. They had a way of disappearing out from under you as the ship went up or down the next wave.
We have cruised in the Caribbean in September with a hurricane out there, but we did not know about it until we returned home. We are cruising to what I hope will still be St. Thomas and St. John in less than five weeks. I hope "Debbie" does not do too much damage.
Don't worry about the weather. The Captian of the ship will not sail into a hurricane. And the odds of one being in May I think are pretty slim.
Have a GREAT TRIP.

Captain Lefteris Konstantinedes did a wonderful job of evading the worst of it and keeping us safe and with a surprising minimum of choppy seas.
November 18th ALL CARIBBEAN PORTS were closed. We were scheduled to dock at St. Johns, Antigua that day sailing from Barbados but instead turned south (in the opposite direction) and ran from the storm thereby missing the port and the huricane.
Our next stop was St. Thomas so we turned north again and this time chased the storm rather than IT chasing us.
We got an extra day at sea instead a day in Antigua. EVERYONE, I MEAN EVERYONE was pleased and thankful for a safe, calm journey, shrugged shoulders and "chalked it up to fate."
Oh, well! We'll just have to take another cruise that takes in Antigua. Darn!
