jcmccarthy Posted November 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2013 We are traveling dec1-8 on the breakaway to Florida and the Bahamas. I was wondering if anyone can share what we can expect for weather from NYC? Temps? Smooth or rough Atlantic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastalbreezes Posted November 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I have sailed many times from New York in December. One year, it was actually warm enough for us to be out on deck during sailaway; other years the temps were very cold. It's pretty much unpredictable. The same goes for the sea conditions on the way south. One year we hit some huge swells (over 20 feet) off the Carolinas; other years it was smooth sailing all the way. If you are prone to seasickness, be sure and take Bonine or another medication the day you depart and the next day as well. Enjoy your cruise!

francina Posted November 5, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 5, 2013 True the temp could be anywhere. My suggestion is to dress for the winter. Also, I find the ocean as always rough leaving from NY even when we are not experiencing a storm. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmccarthy Posted November 5, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted November 5, 2013 How about temps in the Bahamas in dec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidybabe Posted November 5, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 5, 2013 (edited) We have sailed from NY numerous times-usually in January and the weather has been fine. Our daughter in hot tub on next morning, and great beach weather -even in florida in january, but with Mother Nature....you never know. Worse cruise weather we hit has been in March. Worst time we had was trying to get a cab to take us the 25 minutes to the pier from our house, after snowstorm in NY. Once when we arrived in NY, there were snow flurries, very pretty. We are keeping our fingers crossed for our upcoming January cruise. Don't stress--it's out of your control Safe sailing Edited November 5, 2013 by spidybabe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkimouse76 Posted November 6, 2013 #7 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Hi there. I too am traveling on this sailing and I asked a similar question as well. From the responses I got my plan is to wait as long as possible to decide on what to pack. I hope your cruise is wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
