peterr Posted February 27, 2009 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I am thinking of taking a transatlantic cruise from Ft Lauderdale to Lisbon on April 26,2009. Does anyone know what type of weather I can expect during the sea days? Will it be a warm weather type cruise? Thanks to all who respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted February 27, 2009 #2 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Where do you reside and what do you think of as warm weather? If you live in a cold climate, you will think the weather is just lovely, but it may not be hot enough for a Texan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibbitz Posted February 27, 2009 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I live in New York. Just curious to know if it will be warm enough for swimming and sun bathing..... We are going on April 3rd, same route, I think. Someone on our rollcall who has done this several times says to expect temps in the 70's which surprised me...but he also said it is hard to predict as a rain storm following you the whole trip could change things.....for the worse:(.

Momof2angels Posted February 27, 2009 #6 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I did a transatlantic in April and had what we consider to be beautiful weather. There was maybe one day that we put on a light jacket. When we arrived in ports I generally wore capri pants and a short sleeve shirt. I took a light jacket, but only used it some of the time. I suppose this is perception and all relative. I saw some people wearing jackets all the time. I found my old Cruise Compasses: Day 1: 79F Day 2: 82F Day 3: 82F Day 4: 81F Day 5: 80F Day 6: 69F Day 7: 66F Day 8: 64F Day 9: 74F Day 10: 62F Day 11: 68F Day 12: 71F Day 13: 71F Hope this helps!

cusyl Posted February 27, 2009 #7 Share Posted February 27, 2009 The QM2 has an inside pool on the top deck so you should be able to swim in those temperatures. If you stay out of the wind you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfb Posted February 27, 2009 #8 Share Posted February 27, 2009 We did the reverse a few years ago. See below from our blog for weather conditions we recorded at the time. Of course, it is weather, so who knows what you might get.
