suni Posted June 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I just booked a cruise to leave NYC August 31 and cruise up to Canada for 12 days. Now I am thinking about the fact that this is technically hurricane season. Anyone have some thoughts on this ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labanos Posted June 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2023 I'm no expert on this but i wonder, is the area from NYC to Canada a hurricane area? I might be wrong but i think the chance are very small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipgeeks Posted June 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 25, 2023 We have sailed to C/NE in September a number of times. We had hard rain in Halifax once, for an hour or two. Otherwise fabulous weather. We have sailed in the Bahamas, Caribbean, Hawaii, and many other areas, including during the official hurricane season. Occasionally we've had some imperfect weather, but mostly just fine. I suspect the odds are highly tilted towards no hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted June 25, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 25, 2023 You may get the effects if any hurricanes that are in the area they usually turn into tropical storms but still can be damaging to some areas Cape Breton got hit bad last Sept That said we are on a cruise end of Sept to mid Oct from Montreal fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets123 Posted June 26, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Weather happens. No one can predict. But the cruise line will not sail on a hurricane. They may rearrange the ports of call, skip a port, or worse case scenario, you'll have a 12 day Caribbean cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitemare Posted June 26, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Definitely hurricane season. I lived in Boston all my life until last summer. I'd say you have a 15% chance of experiencing waves from a storm that you would feel on the cruise, 5% chance of a reroute, and an even smaller chance of getting stuck in NYC an extra day or two at the beginning of the cruise or returning early.

Cheryl H Posted July 1, 2023 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2023 This happened to us a few years ago. A hurrican was going up the east coast. We stayed one day behind it. We experienced about 30 minutes of minor swells, and the Captain announced we were moving to a calmer water and sure enough in a bit we were calm again. The only problem we experienced was at Bar Harbor, we were booked for the schoonar, but the storm the previous night had caused some sort of damage (I think it was their gangway). So we were refunded that tour. We did not miss any ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
