Rough seas in May in Italy/Greece

[emilee]

We are thinking of cruising this area May 12 - 19, and are wondering if the seas are very rough during this time. Has anyone had this experience?

we went may 19th thru may 30th and it was as calm as a lake. you cannot even hardly feel the sea anymore on these monster ships.

I´ve done this cruise in early June, so a little later than what you are planning. We had dew days with some rocking an drolling but not very bad. Wouldn´t call it really rough but you got a little motion (which I like to have on a ship;) )

We cruised in the Mediterranean in late April one year and had difficulty getting into a couple of the ports in Italy and had to go to alternative cities. Also, all excursions to Capri were canceled due to rough water that year. :(

 

The following year, we went in May and had no problems at all. If you go int June, however, you may start running into some thunderstorms which sometimes cause rough water. So, I think May is good! ;)

Hello, Everyone!

 

We were on the Brilliance Mediterranean cruise in May this year. It was wonderful! We never cruised the Mediteranean before, so we wondered if it was so smooth because of the ship,or the calm water and the beautiful weather. Since we cruised on the Brilliance before...to Scandanavia and Russia, I have a feeling the smooth sailing was due to the Med. Sea and the gorgeous weather! May had perfect weather. :p

 

My friend did an Italy/Greece tour in the middle of June and said it was 100 degrees!
