Judi2112 Posted October 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I would really appreciate some assistance here. DH and I are going to book a Canada/New England cruise for end September 2010. I am OK for evening wear but what should be packing for day wear? Thanks in anticipation of your responses. Judi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iluvmypuggle Posted October 23, 2009 #2 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi there. Just wanted to let you know that I love Canada/New England cruises! The weather can vary in September since it can go from really warm to chilly/rainy. I would bring capris, jeans/casual pants, short sleeve & long sleeve tops and one or two jackets and an umbrella. This way, if you do an excursion and it's chilly in the morning but gets warmer during the afternoon, you can adjust your outfit. I'm in NJ, so not a Canada expert, but it has rained at least on one day each Canada cruise I've been on (hence the umbrella). I've done August/Sept. cruises to Canada, so the weather was sometimes so hot, but then all of a sudden changed drastically to much cooler. That's going to be a great cruise. Those ports are all so clean and pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knittinggirl Posted October 23, 2009 #3 Share Posted October 23, 2009 We went on the 9/26-10/03 Canada/New England Cruise. We pretty much wore long sleeved clothes. We brought our winter jackets, and were happy we did. On Mount Washington Cog Railroad, it was 30 degrees F with 30 MPH Wind and 60 MPH gusts. Other places in the day time it was in the 60s. Also bring rain gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfan05 Posted October 24, 2009 #4 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Bring lots of layers. The weather can change dramatically from day to day- even hour to hour. Yesterday it was 70, today 40 and tomorrow 65 and rainy. The temps in Boston can be much warmer then you will find in northern New England and Canada. September is a glorious time to see the area.

sail7seas Posted October 24, 2009 #5 Share Posted October 24, 2009 We sail Canada/New England itinerary every year and agree you should plan to dress in layers. There can be a difference early September to end of September and you don't say a date unless I missed it. I don't think you'll want capri pants. Stay with long pants. Three quarter sleeve jerseys/tops and sweater or hoodie as well as a medium weight jacket. You can take off a layer as necessary. I would bring a pair of silk glove liners (Wintersilk.com) for a really chilly day to have a very lightweight hand cover. You could be glad you have them.

Judi2112 Posted October 25, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks for the replies. We are looking for a cruise which sails around 15th September (we like to be onboard for our wedding anniversary which is on the 18th). Judi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted October 25, 2009 #7 Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Your anniversary is my birthday!!! A great day :D I live in New England - not far from Bar Harbor. You have been given great advice that layering is a good idea. It will be the start of fall here (no leaves turned as of that time). I would be wearing long slacks (people here are very casual - we all seem to wear jeans ... different in other areas of New England though). Sneakers for walking, tee shirts, and long sleeves. A jacket (fleece) with a hood is a great idea. Have a wonderful time on your cruise ... Enjoy! Jan Edited October 25, 2009 by Jan_In_Maine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuvok37 Posted October 25, 2009 #8 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I'm a native of Saint John NB. September is a perfect time to visit the maritimes (Halifax, Saint John). Generally the temperature in the daytime in early Sept is warm. Capris and a light sweater just in case. If you are going to Saint John, all bets are off. We're known for our fog, in fact, I've heard some cruise passengers complain about NOT seeing it when they've lucked out with a sunny day. Given the fog, bring a light jacket and jeans if you are in that port (Halifax can be the same). If you have a shore excursion that takes you out of the city, you're likely to have warmer temperatures so layer is the way to go as the other messages have said. Have a great time!

LGWarren Posted October 20, 2017 #9 Share Posted October 20, 2017 but how about on the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplelife Posted October 20, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 20, 2017 We did this cruise in mid-June a few years ago. Take layers. Put on your outer layers off ship and take them off on. I took jeans and long sleeved tees, pullover sweaters/sweatshirts, and a hooded windbreaker for days off ship. Pretty much wore the same on ship. I was cold Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted October 20, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Ship is AC and heated, as appropriate, so comfortable inside. Out on deck could be anything from warm and sunny to cool and damp. We've experienced both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awhfy Posted October 22, 2017 #14 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Lucy bring a fleece earband or a hat too. If you can keep ears & fingers warm you’re fine Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
