Steve H Posted March 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Have booked the Reflection Italy and Greek islands Sept 30th 2019. I am thinking of making it a back to back either Sept 18th for another 12 days in the Western med or going Oct 12 in the West. Med. We are wondering about the weather in Oct opposed to doing both in Sept. any thoughts? Have a cabin on hold for two days on Oct. trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are wondering about the weather in Oct opposed to doing both in Sept. any thoughts? Have a cabin on hold for two days on Oct. trip. We did a med cruise at end October last year - was still quite warm. But the best part was the places we visited were not crowded. Places like Eze and Lucca were very pleasant to visit, trains were not packed etc. That is why we would consider an Oct cruise in the future. Additionally, the weather is unpredictable. The week in October could in fact be nicer, although the days will be a bit shorter. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinyork Posted March 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The booked cruise is likely to have warmer weather than a western Med Cruise. If it was me I would choose the cruise before the one you have booked. That’s still quite late in the season so places won’t be as packed as in high season but the weather should be more predictable.

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2018 When it comes to weather you never know but I too would book the first cruise to make it a back to back. September is one of two of my favorite months to visit the Med. It is less crowded then the summer months and not hot or humid. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUSINGFAMILY Posted March 27, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2018 We did it in October of 2016 with Royal, 7 nights Rhapsody and then 10 nights Jewel of the Seas and it was wonderful, we really enjoyed everything and the weather was excellent too. Never hot but always enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan1971 Posted March 27, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I have started a cruise in late October or early November from Rome and the weather has been quite warm. I really don’t think the weather will be that big of a deal in October. As other posters have commented, the later you cruise to those ports, the less crowded they will be. High season hotel rates typically end on October 31. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruisemom42 Posted April 12, 2018 #9 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I think you made a good choice. It used to be significantly less crowded in September than in the summer months, but now not so much. September in the Med can also still be very hot. A few years ago I boarded a cruise in Athens near the end of September and it was 100 degrees at the Acropolis that day. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
