mikehn Posted November 3, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 3, 2013 At what point in this cruise would it start getting warm enough to use the pool? Day 2, day 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaldosPepper Posted November 3, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 3, 2013 As weather conditions can vary wildly, it's difficult to answer precisely. That being said, we've sailed out of NYC twice in February and once in March and all three times people were in the pool by lunchtime on the first full sea day. Barring an unusual weather front, you should experience nice warm and humid air as soon as you pass Cape Hatteras, NC - which usually occurs around 10 or 11 am. Happy sailing. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy sailing. :) That's been our experience in January as well. One very cold January it really didn't warm up until the evening of the first sea day. But the other two cruises we were in shorts that first morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agargoyle Posted November 3, 2013 #4 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hi, We sailed on the Jewel the first week of December last year. I agree that it totally depends on the weather fronts. Even in Florida it was not "warm"-- nicer than Massachusetts but not that "cruise warm". The wind was bad and we could not even use the balcony on sea days bcause of the wind and cold. If you are doing the Florida, Bahama sailing plan on tanning at the GSC and Nassau and plan activites for sea days. The great thing about cruising -- there is plenty to do inside and out and you you can change your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runner15km Posted November 3, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) The pool will be heated to 80+ F. You should be off the coast GA/FL on sea day # 2. Edited November 3, 2013 by runner15km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbill2000 Posted November 5, 2013 #6 Share Posted November 5, 2013 If you consider day 1 to be the day you depart from New York then on our cruise last year on day 1 there were people using the hot tubs and on day 2 there were people using the pools. That was December 22nd and 23rd. By day 3 you are east of the Bahamas and enjoying summer like weather. The route taken is normally way east of the East Coast to get into hopefully warmer and calmer water as quickly as possible and it is the straightest route to the Caribbean.

Tiggertastic Posted November 7, 2013 #10 Share Posted November 7, 2013 We were wrapped in coats and hats on embarkation day and by lunchtime on the first sea day, we moved to short and a jacket and by the next day it was caribbean weather The number of people on deck give it away - lots of empty beds then suddenly they fill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
