ginaf Posted May 11, 2004 #1 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Has anyone ever cruised from NY in August. We went on our first cruise two weeks ago on the NCL Dawn and are thinking about taking the same cruise again in August (going to Florida and the Bahamas). I know that hurricane season begins in June but I was hoping to hear some good reports about traveling that month on a cruise. Thanks for any feedbabk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted May 11, 2004 #2 Share Posted May 11, 2004 the end of August and Septemeber are horrendous for hurricanes. It will be hit and miss. As longa s you are aware that this will happen you should be fine. If you booked a cruise during a hurricane I doubt very much they would cancel it. They would re-route your cruise to other ports.

trish1c Posted May 11, 2004 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2004 As you know NYC is going to be insane the last week of August this year w/ the Republican National Convention. Getting out of town seems like a good idea to me. Friends ran smack into Hurricanne Isabel last year out of NY/NJ & had a miserable time.

myshipcamein Posted May 13, 2004 #7 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Gina, I guess that is your name, we never left from NY in August. Try to recall past summers when we had storms in NY, many times it was in August. It's hurricane season. We are going to Fla and the Bahamas on June 12 - on the Miracle. It that the ship your thinking about going on. I can't believe we are neighbors. I'm on Lamoka - Lena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginaf Posted May 14, 2004 Author #8 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Hi Lena - I'm on Genesee - by Annadale! Small world!! We are taking the Dawn out of NY to Florida/Bahamas on August 8. We took this cruise the end of April and it was great. I know we are taking a big chance in August but we are going with family and it was hard to agree on dates. Is this your first cruise? April was ours - and we are hooked. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the both of us to get lots of sun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myshipcamein Posted May 15, 2004 #9 Share Posted May 15, 2004 Oh my, I can't believe how close we are. If you have kids in the age group of 19-27 we probably know each other. Anyways, this is our third cruise, and we are hooked. You will probably have great weather, so don't worry, be happy... Lena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
