Anet01 Posted October 24, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Planning a New England Canada cruise for my mom. Finalizing this week and can't decide between the first and second week of October. Mom loves the change of leaf color (Florida so not much color ever here!) so leaning towards the second week of October (week of the 8th) so we might see some color change. I know that some things start to close around this time though, so I am unsure what to do. Thoughts or suggestions I might not have considered. Itinerary/Ports: Newport, Rhode Island 6am-4pm Portland, Maine 10am-7pm Bar Harbor 8am-5pm Saint John Bay of Fundy, Canada 9:15 am-9:05 pm Halifax, Canada 2:30pm-11pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted October 24, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I wouldn't base on leaf color. No way to predict year to year when things will start changing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mets123 Posted October 25, 2022 #4 Share Posted October 25, 2022 We were in Halifax and St John last week. Still not peak colors. Anything said is a pure quess, a suggestion at best. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted October 26, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 26, 2022 (edited) Climate Change is making what used to be a guess now. OP book either and take your chance...regardless this itinerary will be beautiful. We've sailed the first week a couple years ago and will be sailing again Oct 5th-14th, 2023 out of Cape Liberty on RCI.
