It's my Dad's 50th birthday in early September, so we want to go on a European cruise in August. We have no idea which one to go on Any Ideas;)

SURE! No shortage of cruises in August. Look at the RCCL Jewel of the Sea. Lovely ship and good overall middle of the road pricing.

 

Aug 6 and 18th she sails Harwich, England; Oslo, Norway; Copenhagen, Denmark; Stockholm, Sweden; Helsinki, Finland; St. Petersburg, Russia; Tallinn, Estonia; and back to England.

 

She's a beautiful ship!

True, but it's also hurricane season, technically june 1- nov 30th, covers the time of year when the majority of the population takes it's vacation. Plus with the late tropical storms this past year, the storms didn't end until some time in Dec. That basically leave a 5 months at the beginning each year for Non-hurricane weather! And cruising is still at it's peak over the summer.

Tinsel, it's not hurricane season in the Med, which is where the OP is asking about.
