Retiredprofessor Posted August 28, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2013 So excited to be leaving in just three days for a cruise to Boston, Maine, and Canada. We will become D+ on this cruise and all of our other cruises have been to Bermuda and the Caribbean. I've been looking forward to this for so long, just had to share with everyone. Read posts almost everyday but not much is ever said about this itinerary. We are wondering whether to bring much warmer clothes. I'm thinking the weather should be in the 70s or so. Anyone shed any light on this. Thanks for letting me share my excitement:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katydyd Posted August 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I live in MA. It's still summer here. It's been hot and muggy all week. Not Florida hot, but 80s and humid. I'd maybe toss one pair of jeans and maybe a light sweater in, just in case you're chilly at night if you're from warm weather climes. You'll love the area, it's just beautiful along the coastline up here, much different than the southern climes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzinlady1947 Posted August 28, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Enjoy your cruise. It is my favorite itinerary. I am not a beach person, and I love cruising the Caribbean, but love Canada and New England best. Hard to say about the weather. I would check the weather channel for the cities you are to visit and go from there, as far as packing. It is still early in the season for cold temps up there. But, there is always the chance. Take a light jacket. If it isn't enough. Buy something at one of the ports. They have lots of nice shops. ;) Have a great time on one of my favorite ships. And congratulations on becoming D+. It is a great feeling to reach that level. Gwen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxoocruiser Posted August 28, 2013 #5 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Have taken this cruise 2 years ago and am going again later this month. Best to think in terms of "layering" can weather can vary . It also tends to be cooler and windy if out about the decks in evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaglesjb Posted August 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Seriously? Jackets? It's only labour day. Today in Toronto 90 degrees with 90% humidity. Check the weather, but summer isn't officially over in Canada until late September. Same as US. Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAHA Posted August 28, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 28, 2013 If you are doing any sort of a whale watch, you may want a jacket or fleece. I have heard that the air can be 20-30 degrees colder on the sea than on land. We leave on September 5 and are taking layers just in case. Better to be safe than sorry.

misty57 Posted August 29, 2013 #12 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Lucky you! A great itinerary on a great ship!. I think you picked a great time to take this trip as it will not be as cold in Canada as it was when we were there last year. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MommaBear55 Posted August 29, 2013 #14 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Weekend in Maine along the coast is supposed to be 70's with scattered thunderstorms. Today is 68 and overcast. We have had mid 80's this week and also 50's at night. Layering is the best approach. We have a saying in Maine. If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes it will change. Have a great cruise.

Rala Posted August 29, 2013 #15 Share Posted August 29, 2013 To the OP....I doubt the weather will be significantly different from what you would experience if you stayed home on Long Island! Just bring a sweatshirt/sweater and/or a light windbreaker type jacket in case there might be a cool breeze. Enjoy...it is a great itinerary!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retiredprofessor Posted August 29, 2013 Author #16 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks to everyone. I will take your advice and pack with some layering in mind. We will be going to Arcadia when in Bar Harbour and plan on eating a lot of Maine lobster. We also have a rather unusual excursion planned for Halifax (well, for us anyway). A motorcycle (side car) tour to Peggy's Cove. Everything I hear about Maine and these ports in Canada is positive. Can't wait. Again thanks for your comments.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted August 31, 2013 #19 Share Posted August 31, 2013 weather.com, type in the name of the city. then click 10 day forecast, they should give you and excellent idea of the highs and lows for each port. Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamscckmc Posted August 31, 2013 #20 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Did this on Enchantment two years ago and loved it! Also on Princess from NY. I second one pair of jeans and some lighter weight long pants. Definitely a light weight waterproof windbreaker and a small umbrella. Sneakers or other comfortable walking shoes.
