Reports of past sea conditions aren't going to do you much good. As you said, it's highly variable. Might be nice, might not be nice when you sail.

Chances are it might be cold and nasty, or very warm or calm, or just right.

It really varies week to week and sometimes day to day.

You can get pretty decent idea of weather for Boston and Bermuda at weather.com

We were on this cruise with you. Did not get to the beach, but swam in the ship's pool. There was plenty do do, even though it was showery.

The weather at sea and wave heights change day to day. Recent reports are meaningless for predicting the future.

I was in the June 9 sailing too. While it was cooler then I would have liked, the sail away party on the pool deck was fine and not raining. First day at sea was beautiful. Sunday morning was rainy but by the afternoon we got to watch the Americas Cup from the bow of the Dawn. Monday, while at Horseshoe Bay Beach it rained. But sun came out later. Tuesday was beautiful. Wednesday at sea day was sunny and hot. Thursday started if chilly but warmed up a bit later in the day. I'd say weather was nice 80% of the time! Wish I was going again tomorrow!

D.W. got us spa Passes where the weather was fantastic all week.

In Bermuda

We did Whale bay Monday.

Then the first NCL ferry to St. George Tues.

We loved Alexander Battery for seaglass and snorkeling then Tom Moor's jungle For the Cliff Jump and cave's :cool:

Thanks all. The NOAA/NOAA NWS references are great!

Just got back today and weather/seas unremarkable. Foggy leaving Boston and a little cool the first sea day, but by the time we hit Wash DC latitude it was warm enough for summer clothes and stayed so right up to docking in Boston this morning.

We were on this cruise with you. Did not get to the beach, but swam in the ship's pool. There was plenty do do, even though it was showery.

Barb, this Friday's cruise looks showery and cook. Did they do the sail away indoors?

At this time of the year the first night is mild but as soon as the ship gets south of the Gulf Stream the humidity becomes very notable. The last night of the cruise is north of the Gulf Stream and cooler. Unless there is a tropical storm nearby the seas are rather calm. If you happen to sail when there is a very large, strong, hurricane in the open Atlantic you might get a heavy swell, but that is a hit or miss thing.

I have taken this cruise 4 times in peak hurricane season and never had a rough ride.

Bermuda "rain" can be like a kid with a hose; hit and miss all at the same time. The rain is wet and the sun is hot.;)

We sailed 6/30 to 7/7 and Bermuda was exactly that - some parts of the island raining and others perfectly nice weather.

The weather, at sea, both down and back was calm with rain on the Wednesday of our return.

Not on my cruise. Sailing away from Boston was outside, and the same when we left Bermuda.

However many years ago, we sailed away from Boston during a rain storm, and the party was inside. That was on the Majesty.

When we left the ship on Sunday afternoon, it was very rainy. The ship sold plastic ponchos near the exit.

Next time we'll bring our own, or small umbrellas for "just in case."
