Docker123 Posted January 5, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Easy, get on a plane and cruise OS. Be careful of what you wish ... fb posts show heavy snow on QM2, after being delayed 24 hours leaving New York. I thought you would take a modicum of pleasure Uncle Les.

SinbadThePorter Posted January 5, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 5, 2018 this is the LAST !!!!!!!! Just to make you feel better, my last cruise was almost perfect. Flat seas, sunny skies, starry nights, and following breezes. It was so calm, from the promenade you could count the turtles as you passed them. Even the captain remarked it was one of the smoothest cruises he'd had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, one reason why I won't visit the Northern Hemisphere this time of year. :loudcry: Too cold and too many transport interruptions.:halo: I hope Cunard kept the doggies warm in the QM2 kennels up top.

Rare MicCanberra Posted January 6, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Any date I choose is doomed ! DOOMED I say While I feel sorry that your cruises have been so affected by the weather, I cannot help but think you brought this on yourself with your CC name. A handle like that is just asking for stormy weather.:p seriously though, the weather will really only affect the outside activities. I hope you get better weather soon.

My travel motto is "Attitude is the difference between an ordeal, and an adventure." To me wind, rain and thunderstorms equal awesome seas instead of boring flat ones.

Rare lyndarra Posted January 6, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Something we noticed recently on Ovation OTS was that it was almost too smooth crossing the Tasman. We had to skip fiordland due to a massive low pressure system heading towards NZ and we had a race to get around the bottom of the south island. We kinda missed the rockin' and rollin' of the smaller ships. Doesn't seem like a real cruise without a bit of 'weather'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the smooth, good weather cruises as it means more people are out on the upper decks enjoying the sunshine and having a good cruise which means a better cruise vibe and less people on the ship where I am.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell21 Posted January 7, 2018 #18 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Cruising is like camping or motorbike touring, and we've done all three, sooner or later you will be at the mercy of the elements at their worst. Three bad lots in a row is just par for the course, learn to roll with the punches and the good times are even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went out through it, while other ships couldn't come-in. I think it was we had to get to Hawaii by a certain day. was delayed till after 10:00 so the winds would die down.. But on 16 other cruises no rain.. Love sitting in a pod or bench cruiseing out with the sun setting in the west... Oh i'm missing it now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getting older slowly Posted January 7, 2018 #24 Share Posted January 7, 2018 We like the bad weather on sea days like one morning up to top deck for before breakfast walk with 55knt winds across the deck and 4.5m seas,.. you suddenly feel alive and watching nature around you.... Yes and the stormy weather caused us to cancel 3 ports, so a bit a rain is fine ( damn I wish I'd shrink in rain or maybe the problem is too much food and wine ) Cheers Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
