Sailing from Baltimore in Oct to New England and Canada

[Carbri]

My mother in law is going on her first cruise on Oct 1, the Grandeur from Baltimore. I have sailed from this port before, but I have only gone south. It tends to be a little rough around the Outer Banks but I have no idea if there is anything like that if you sail north. She is going to Halifax, St John, a place or two in Canada. I have no advice on if she would need sickness patches. I advise " yes" but would like to hear from someone helpful that can tell me if the sailing is usually smoother going north ?

Thanks so much.

I have sailed north, but never in Oct. If motion sickness is a problem, I would be prepared.

It's impossible to know what ocean conditions will be. Be safe get the patches.

I did this cruise last October. We had a bumpy last day at sea. Only time I've gone north, so can't say if that's the norm or not. Never hurts to have something with you just in case.

We have done these cruises twice, but both times, late August/early September. We had no problems with the seas either time. but you just never know. A Nor-Easter could rumble up the coast at any time and make for a miserable experience. That is the chance you take at this time of year.

 

Cheers
