alibabaxx Posted November 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hi all Looking at a cruise from Barcelona - Marseille - Genoa - Naples - Messina - Valetta but am concerned it might be too cold this time of year? Anyone have experience of these type of cruises at this time of year. Have only done Caribbean cruises and so have been used to good weather and calm seas....... :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted November 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 19, 2017 We have taken Mediterranean cruises in late October. Yes it could be cooler and sometimes rainy but you just never know when it comes to weather. A more optimal time of the year we have found is September where you still have nice weather and less crowds then in the Summer when many places are crowded and it is hot and humid. As to the Caribbean you just never know either as October is still hurricane season but yes it is quite a bit warmer in the Caribbean in October.

Rare Keith1010 Posted November 19, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 19, 2017 You are welcome. I would still take the cruise in late October. It may be a little cooler in the early morning but after a few hours it should warm up. It's stil a nice time of the year to visit these beautiful places.

alibabaxx Posted November 19, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Very tempted. I've noticed that online US TAs offer better deals than online UK TAs making it a lot more attractive... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

euromaster Posted November 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 20, 2017 We cruised this past October on NCL on basically the same route Oct 15-22nd. Barcelona-Naples-Rome-Livorno-Cannes-Marseilles-Barcelona. Had absolutely perfect weather 70's and sunny every day...although our tour guide in Cannes told us the weather can be iffy at that time of year. Of course we were on NCL...can't vouch for MSC! Only kidding. I was amazed at how we had such great weather...and luck!! I'm on this board because we also doing an upcoming MSC Seaside Yacht Club cruise...very excited about that!
