Thanks all. The NOAA/NOAA NWS references are great!

Recognizing this is highly variable, any recent reports on the weather at sea on the Boston to Bermuda route? Temp and sea height? Thanks!

Thanks for your replies.

Let me be more specific--we are fairly seafaring folks, regular sailors in LI Sound, so pretty used to being on the water.

The family concern isn't really about seasickness (which we can handle if necessary in a few different ways) but how potentially "terrifying" it might be if things are really rocking and rolling.

We are used to a 26 ft boat, so hard to scale this to our experience. The Breakaway is a pretty big ship, so this might help?

[also, this week is school vacation in many places in Northeast, like MA, so hope to have a few kids around :)]

Just as I was about to pull the trigger, the wife ran into friends who had a very rough trip out of New York in November and it's got her concerned.

I can find a lot on weather temp and an April transatlantic crossing, but can anyone give me insight on New York to the Bahamas--how rough might it be?

(We are traveling with 12 year old grandson, which is at the root of the concern)

I said that ships sail out of NY all year and people wouldn't keep doing it if it was always awful, but would appreciate some reports from folks who have done it.

Hi.

Looking at the 4/19 sailing of the Norwegian Breakaway out of NY, NY (7 nights Bahamas/FL). We can drive there, so airfare not an issue.

The price for a balcony room seems to have been holding steady for a few weeks, perhaps a slight drop (~$25) in the category where they choose the room for you. Actually, oceanview and that category balcony are now within $10 of each other, not sure if that indicates anything?

Any thoughts on the timing for a "last minute" deal? The regular balcony room is coming in at $909, not sure how much lower it could go, if at all?

Input most appreciated!
