talerco Posted February 15 #1 Share Posted February 15 This appears to be mostly in the ? Inter coastal waterway ? Easily sea sick here. But river cruises no problem. Can someone let me know if this is an issue as it is close to open ocean? Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveinCharlotte Posted February 15 #2 Share Posted February 15 I assume you mean Charleston to Fernandina Beach. Yes, this is mostly Intercoastal Waterway, and, in my opinion, one of the most scenic on the East Coast. No rough water. However, the could still be a remote possibility you'd see open ocean. On our cruise from Baltimore to Jacksonville on the Star two years ago, the captain did go out, and yes, it was rough. Note this was on the Morehead City NC to Charleston leg, which is not on your itinerary. I posted about this Jan 6, 2022, "Inland Passage aboard the Star -- An Adventure on the High Seas." Go back about 4 pages below; my apologies for not knowing how to post a link to this. But this, I'm sure, was an isolated incident, and your odds of encountering such are virtually zero. You will enjoy this cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndfred Posted February 26 #3 Share Posted February 26 My wife and I did Jacksonville to Baltimore last April/May. Going up the ICW was on our bucket list and it is mostly checked off. There were two legs that we needed to go outside and it was a bit rough since the "Star" does not have stabilizers. Both of us were fine but there were some passengers that were a little uncomfortable. I hope that this will help since I am a little late in replying. Bottom line is we really enjoyed the cruise. Next is Pittsburgh to St. Louis for 15 days in July. Fernandina Beach is a great town. We spent two nights there about two weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
