Trans-atlantic Weather in April NY to Italy

[TN Karen]

We are traveling for the first time on the NCL Escape from NYC to Italy on April 8 2024.

 

Has anyone traveled this time before and can you  let us know for the Sea Days what we  can approximately expect the temperatures to be outside.

I did this trip on Royal in very late April and most sea days were wet and cold.

 

Also some rough seas.

 

Your results may vary.

Thank you

Pardon me, but I quoted your post for some of us small-letter challenged readers to read it.

 

I wouldn't buy the Vibe. And I would bring a warm rain jacket, just in case. And Dramamine.

We did the TA last year on the Epic from New York to Barcelona.  We had great weather and I found I didn’t bring enough shorts! Especially for the European ports. It was last two weeks of April, first week of May. We sat by the pool most days as the sun was shining and it was warm enough to lounge at least. 
 

I recommend lots of layers just in case!

We were on that same cruise and spent most of the days on our balcony in swimsuits, tanning.

I would think that the route taken will make a difference. We are taking a more southern route next March from New York first to Bermuda then across the Atlantic to the Azores then to southern Europe.

We did it last year. Weather was unusually warm during the crossing and actually for all of our ports. We took good advantage of the Sapphire level free laundry service. We packed too much cool weather clothes and not enough shorts and t shirts.
