Did anyone do this cruise last year? I am trying to figure what the weather will be like... I know no one can say for sure but maybe someone has experience with this type cruise and has an idea...trying to figure what to pack... shorts? long pants? whatever?

laughing because we are doing same transatlantic in a month and hubby asked me same question a few minutes ago!

 

going to pack layers varying from vest tops to sweatshirts

 

bear in mind ships air conditioning means cool inside even if boiling hot outside

I feel your pain. We are on the same upcoming transatlantic followed by three weeks in Europe with just medium sized backpacks. Not quite sure how to manage but let’s put it this way: if our upgrade bid to the Haven is accepted, we are going to look like the Beverly Hillbillies.

Won't know until you get closer to your sail date. Weather in the Atlantic can be unpredictable.

 

While you are on a southerly track, there was ice in the Atlantic waters on April 15, 1912.

Last years weather has nothing to do with this year.

Our transatlantic on the Epic (was it two years ago, or before that?) was cold and windy. Nobody using the pool. Still, I am happy to sit (in warm clothes) in our balcony and watch the world (the ocean) goes by.

 

We were also lucky to have purchased the spa pass, and enjoyed the thermal suite everyday.

 

Port stop in Funchal, Madeira Island, was bright and sunny, though.

I've been on several TAs and I am not bringing a swimsuit this time (got my first UTI ever from the hot tub on the sailing in 2016.) I'm also touring about Europe and don't want any non-essential clothing. One pair of capris is enough. BTW- we have had some pretty nice weather going across, but you never know.
