Best time to book Caribbean holiday 2020

I've been given the go ahead to book a Caribbean holiday for April/May 2020 . Wondering when the best time would be to book, should I wait until Black Friday or even Christmas/New Year sales?
Advice would be appreciated

Where specifically do you want to go, the Caribbean covers many miles. You need to look at specific islands and the events that are going on at that time.

April/May is pretty much the end of the 'season' butplaces like Antigua have a big sailing events both classic regatta and sailing week that extend the season. After that things are very quiet and pretty flat, many restaurants close, some hotels also close. Some airlines fly more flights in season than out.

I specifically know Antigua as I had a home there but have travelled extensively and most islands are the same.

Therefore, booking can be a bit random depending on what's on and how large the airlift is. Easter will only get more expensive, after Easter prices will vary.

If you are not fussed about what type of cabin and where on the ship, you could wait and try to grab a bargain. I’d be booking it now, it’s only 8 months away.
Oh sorry didn't know it was cruise, dont know anything about them, sorry

Oops, it looks like I read it wrong, there’s no mention of a cruise.
Sorry
