lamchops Posted December 7, 2012 #2 Share Posted December 7, 2012 We just completed a TA from Southampton to port Everglades last month. The bad news: London was cold with on & off showers Leharve was cloudy & windy Vigo was clear & sunny Lisbon was wet Ponte Degada was beautiful 4 day crossing was on & off rain Bermuda was mild but raining The seas weren't very rough except when travelling through the Bay of Biscayne. The good news: The weather was apparantly better than any day in Vancouver, BC at that same time:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolittle Posted December 7, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 7, 2012 We did the Silhouette in very late October(last year) arrived Nov.1 and the seas were very rough. Our last stop in Europe was Lisbon and it was pouring rain and very windy. The water was crashing up to the top of the ship ,we are lucky we do not get sea sick .It was quiet a trip we really loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxguy77 Posted December 7, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Wish I could loan you our luck. We have been on 5 TA's including one (Of the best) on =X=, all in late Nov/early Dec, and all have been great. Good weather almost all the way, calm seas and able to enjoy every day on deck. Have a great cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 7, 2012 #5 Share Posted December 7, 2012 You never know but the odds are cold weather when you begin and as you travel towards Florida it warms up. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo70 Posted December 7, 2012 #7 Share Posted December 7, 2012 A lot depends on the route; a crossing from say London to New York will on average incur significantly cooler temperatures and rougher waters than a crossing from Civitavecchia to Miami. Also the later in November, the cooler the temperature will be on average. In general there is often a variety of weather during any given crossing; some days warmer, some cooler - some days smooth seas, some days rough. There is even the potential for a hurricane impacting the weather as it is the tail end of hurricane season. While most crossings have more good weather than bad, this is something that can never be predicted on any given crossing - so if cool weather and/or rough seas would cause you to not enjoy the cruise, a transatlantic may not be the best option.

KirkNC Posted December 7, 2012 #8 Share Posted December 7, 2012 The seas are impossible to predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
