cruzqueen2 Posted June 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hello Everyone We are planning a round trip TA crossing in November 2019..We will be visiting Southampton and Belgium I see the average temperature for those 2 countries is 50 degrees Fahrenheit. How cold is it during the crossing? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted June 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Difficult to predict but my guesses would be cold, wet & windy. Plenty to do indoors fortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calliope Posted June 28, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Difficult to predict but my guesses would be cold, wet & windy.Plenty to do indoors fortunately. That's a pretty good summation of what you might expect during November. I've experienced November crossings where the seas were, as Capt. Bates was wont to say, "Quite boisterous!"

cruiseluvva Posted June 29, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2018 But you could just be lucky. Our friends did a crossing a few years ago, leaving Southampton on October 30th. They had fantastic weather pretty much all the way. And NYC was HOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LadyL1 Posted June 29, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Last November we did the roundtrip to the Caribbean (QV), and on both the outward and homeward journeys we had terrific storms and that was on a much more southerly route. In January of this year, the QV world voyage, we unexpectedly took refuge in the Azores, and missed Bermuda as the ship was running so late, before reaching Florida. This was probably the fiercest weather we have encountered on a crossing and we have certainly made a few! You could find it is very cold and flat calm, or have weather associated with an "Indian Summer". Who knows? It is all part of the anticipation, but being on the QM2 will be wonderful, whatever.

seacruise9 Posted June 29, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hi, I did a westbound crossing on the QM2 in November 2014. In general, the seas were fairly rough and it was cold and windy. However, it was sunny during a couple of the days. As noted above, there is plenty to do inside this ship. I had a wonderful time. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv24 Posted June 29, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2018 We've had both high seas and low seas in November, but it's never been warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanky Lad Posted July 1, 2018 #9 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I am doing a back to back TA sailing on 4 November this year, so looking forward to finding out what the weather has in store. My last TA involved the remains of a hurricane. An interesting few days as I was a long way forward and the ship was pitching quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare babs135 Posted July 1, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 1, 2018 As the saying goes 'you pay your money and you take your chance'. We've only done one November crossing, all the others have been December/January, and as I recall it was cold but the sea was reasonably calm. I think we even managed to sit outside for a couple of hours mid-Atlantic, albeit dressed in heavy jumpers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
