I would definitely chance the weather in May, it tends to be less windy than winter as well. I would have said up to July/August, except that we had a hurricane blow through GCM at the start of last July!!
A friend of mine did a cruise recently starting and ending in BGI (so theoretically you could use 2 vouchers to upgrade both ways), it went around Aruba and that area so probably didn’t touch US soil at all.
It does also depend what kind of holiday you’re planning but Cancun is a handy gateway for all sorts of activities like sightseeing/scuba diving/whale shark watching (summer).
Damn, VS has so many options from LHR compared with MAN!
