Ventura cruise 25th Sept 09

[dreamweaver767]

Morning all,

Am looking to book the above cruise and was just a tad apprehensive travelling late in September, anybody any ideas on what the weather will be like, I know once into the med it will be ok but just the route down the Atlantic ( bay of Biscay) not bothered for me but the wife still cant find her sea legs.

Did the bay in April and was like a mill pond both legs, but I have heard that it can be a touch bad if it gets rough.

Saying that we did hit a force 9 in the med 2 years ago for 12 hours and it wasn’t much fun.

I did a Canary Islands cruise last autumn (28/9 to 10/10) on Ventura, with outward calls at La Coruna & Madeira, and return calls at Lisbon & Vigo. We had no problem with the bay at that time. The sea was very calm and Ventura was very stable. I remember sitting on our balcony in the sun on the way north after Vigo and thinking how very, very pleasant it was.

 

Of course, it got progressively cooler on the way home.

Who really knows about The Bay of Biscay.We have crossed in Sept and yes it was rough on the outward journey but did not even notice it on the return.You pays your money and takes the chance:confused:

Well we've booked on this cruise, first time for us so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.:D If it gets rough there isn't much we can do about it.;)
