August or September In Eastern Med.

[nycgirl0618]

I am booked for next Aug. 2008 for Venice, Croatia, Santorini Corfu and Turkey. I was looking at prices today and I noticed that going a month later in Sept drops the price by $600 for the cruise alone. I am thinking of changing dates but I need advice. My husband and I are big beach people. Will the weather be warm enough to swim in Croatia and Corfu. I looked at historical weather and it seems to be in the mid-upper 70s. Is the water warm enough? I know its hot in August but I'm from NYC so I'm used to muggy weather. I would love to save $1000 and go in Sept and avoid the August crowds, however my husband will kill me if he can't swim on his vacation.

Of course, who can predict what the weather will be on any given day (certainly the weathermen can't!!), but I can tell you that we were in the Med last Sep (13-25) and the weather was very warm and sunny everywhere we went (Italy, Greece and Turkey).

September is a great time to visit the Med, including enjoying the beaches.

Thanks everybody for your comments. This site is so amazing. I called RCCL and changed to the Sept 13 depature. With all the money I am going to be saving I can book a Caribbean cruise!!
