stellfamily Posted August 12, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I hope this post is allowed. I am trying to plan a family cruise, 9 people ranging in age from 31-90. My real question is if October is okay for cruising to the British Isles? I’d love to hear from anyone that has made that trip in October and can tell me what the weather was like, and were the seas very rough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulanis Posted August 13, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2021 It would be useful if you were to say where you were cruising from and maybe which line you were using and route NY to Southampton will usually be different than Rio to Southampton. Weather is always unpredictable a recent cruise from California set sail to Alaska -55 degF and gales! so no fight for sunbeds 😉 If there is a roll call for your cruise maybe ask in there - some peole do TAs over and over again.

Rare Harters Posted August 14, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 14, 2021 October is mid-autumn here. You may get the odd sunny day. But there will be rain and chilly weather more often than not. Daytime temperatures are likely to be in the mid-teens. And, of course, there will be regional variations the further north you are. This is northern Europe so don't have any great weather expectations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejuggler Posted August 15, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) There can also be a huge difference between 1st October and 31st October. Late September, early October can be very pleasant. By the end of October the clocks have gone back to GMT (happens on the last Sunday morning) and winter is well on its way.
