2006 Posted December 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I am looking at a mini cruise to Dublin from Liverpool in Jan with Fred Olsen and wondering if cruise will be too rough to enjoy?? Has anyone any experience of the Irish sea in winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvtheships Posted December 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I've never done this cruise region but fwiw....when we had a 5 hour layover in Dublin in late July ....we froze....as we flew from sunny Italy and were dressed for that Personally I wouldn't do it in January Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellard Posted December 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) It's anyone's guess. Higher chances, the sea will have some movement. But ha, you'll be on a huge ship with stabilisers. As already mentioned... it will be cold. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Edited December 5, 2016 by Wellard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panamapd Posted December 5, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hiya - we are booked onto this and are not too worried. I think nippy air and choppy seas can all be resolved with some good Irish whiskey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocap Posted December 6, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Well, people use the ferries all the time from different ports- it takes a lot to cancel a ferry! And, you're not going very far, so the captain will be able to plot and plan his route, or hold back a bit if the forecast is poor- but as mentioned, you're on a stable ship. Yes, I know the conditions on the Irish sea- I live next to it- and it can be smooth or rough at any time of the year. :D Enjoy- weather wouldn't stop me! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellard Posted December 6, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Exactly panamapd; a good ol' Irish whiskey will do the trick. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006 Posted December 9, 2016 Author #7 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Thanks for your comments. I have been through Bay of Biscay in Dec and Jan so i'm sure this will be fine, just lots of that whiskey needed then! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
