Gishua_ Posted September 29, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Hi All, I am booked on the Celebrity Silhouette leaving on April 20th, 2023. Miami -> London I have been on a westbound transatlantic in October and the weather was perfect. I am wondering how the weather will be on this cruise? I am expecting the days to and at Bermuda to relatively warm but then after for it to get colder. Would I be correct? Does the weather really differ that much from year to year? Could it be really warm or really cold? Any experience and advice will be appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted September 29, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I can’t answer your question because I haven’t yet done a TA. It’s on my bucket list for sure. I’m responding to say that Silhouette is my absolute favorite Celebrity ship. I have cruise envy and wish you the absolute best cruise ever!

az4ship Posted September 29, 2022 #3 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I was on this cruise this year. It was windy but sunny. In the sun, it was warm.. it did get a bit cooler as we approached Europe. I would say overall it was 70-60 range. Bermuda was not that warm but a storm had gone through. It was a great trip. Enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arizona Wildcat Posted September 29, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The ocean moderates the weather. Never cold. Obviously weather and temps in the UK can be anything. April and October about the same in our experience on 5 TAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisegirlppp Posted September 29, 2022 #5 Share Posted September 29, 2022 We once did a TA from Florida to Rome in April...weather warm enough on the crossing and ports in Spain but they were still wearing puffy coats in Rome! The 23 hour days on eastbound trips are why we prefer westbound TAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted September 29, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 29, 2022 We did Silhouette TA it in April of this year. You could look up my Live and get a better feel. The weather was very nice and the pool was in use and sunbathing popular for most of the cruise. If we had any rain it was just a shower or two. We had to divert Madeira for a medical evacuation putting us into the Azores about 6 hours late. After the Azores it started cooling a little but weather perfect. Even when we got to Southampton (b2b) we took a B2B tour to Windsor and it was a perfect spring day. Tulips still in bloom and nice shirt sleeve weather. No jacket required. We have done about a dozen TA's most being Westbound. Weather similar to other Southern and Mid-Atlantic crossing and much much nicer than most of our Northern crossings. Of course weather is variable but that was our most recent crossing and will do another this year on Apex into Amsterdam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are very excited. We have been on Reflection X2 and Equinox X2 as well as Edge. Excited for the Silhouette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This trip we are actually using this as transport to Europe + a vacation. While no preferable, we are still excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take a look at your live. Safe Travels on the Apex! We almost booked the Apex vs. the Silhouette but the price was much cheaper for the latter.
