Happy NOT to be cruising today!

Brrrrrrr

Waking up to 19 degrees. Can't imagine pulling out of NJ or NYC today. :o

Would still love to be on a cruise. In a day or so it will be warmer outside on the ship.

Have departed from Bayonne for a Christmas cruise on Explorer before at 4:00 PM - not at 19 degrees, but certainly colder than the typical summer cruises. By 1:00 PM the next day off the coast of the Carolina's it was 70 degrees. Same on the return - only got cold the morning of the last night. It's manageable!

With the wind chill it feels like F 9 degrees in Toronto this morning. With your balmy weather I'd be boarding that ship in shorts. :)

It is 15 with a wind chill of 8.

It wouldn't make difference to me where we sailed from knowing that in a day or two, we would be in warmer weather.

Pulling out of Port Canaveral today is going to be wonderful! :)

Agree. We stay inside the ship if it's cold and rainy. No biggie.

I be willing to bet you'd be singing a different tune if you were on one of those ships leaving from NJ or NYC today. A well thought out thread to get the rest of wishing we were leaving on a cruise today. ;)

Hahahah.....yup...you are probably right, unless it was NCL'S Gem. Omg...those poor people.

Ugh, It is COLD in Boston today...... :)

I would still prefer to be on a ship

I'd love to be sailing out of the East Coast, it is still warm here in Arizona; it will be 83 today and 87 tomorrow.

Nice to get away from this cold!

We like cold weather cruises as much as warm weather ones, so leaving today from NJ or NYC would be just fine with me!

Same here! I love sailing while all bundled up. Baltimore fills that bill, too; we will be aboard in a few weeks.

Sailing from New York in January is all the better - knowing that you'll be in the Gulf Stream by early the next afternoon.

Perspective, my friends.... I'd rather be on any cruise ship at this point in my life.....

I've sailed out of Bayonne during a blizzard. Sailing today would have been a snap!

Where are you headed - please give feedback re: condition of ports.

Cold weather in your hometown is the perfect excuse to cruise (to warmer climates). Next Friday we start a 25 night cruise out of Miami that will go to the Amazon....... can't get much warmer than that. The only excuse not to cruise is if you are cruising to an area during hurricane season ........ and you are in the middle of that season! The only reason that I'm happy that there were cruise ships in the Caribbean the last couple of months is so that they could assist the people in the hurricane damaged islands.

I wish I was leaving on a cruise today from Manhattan or NJ. I wear a tee shirt and shorts on the first sea day every time I cruise .Most of my cruises are between October and January.

Travelcat2 has it right.

Totally disagree with the OP and do not understand why he/she thinks in terms of cruising out of NY/NJ. Yes, baby its cold outside. So take yourself over to JFK, jump on a flight to Dubai, relax for a couple of days (baby, its hot outside) and then go aboard the Regent Seven Seas Voyager for a short 33 day cruise to Hong Kong. And if that doesnt sound good why not just fly to downunder where its wonderful spring time...and take a cruise.

It is a big world and the weather is always good somewhere :).
