July or September for weather?

[sanford5]

We are planning our 1st Canada/New England cruise. We've narrowed it down to two options: July on the Holland America Maasdam (Montreal to Boston) or September on the Carnival Glory (round trip out of New York).

 

Your thoughts on which month for better weather may help us decide. Any other factors to consider (preferred ships, itinerary, etc.) would be welcome information as well. Thank you!

July will probably be warmer (hot) and busier. September can be great.

 

I would go by itinerary and price, etc.

Our cruise last September was great weather wise (southbound Quebec City to Ft Lauderdale). Couldn't have really been much better 2 days of rain and fog in 14days.

I'm taking the Maasdam in July... Montreal to Boston, hoping for warm weather, I understand the weather is not HOT, but manageable 70ish,

Also the itinerary attracted me, It included Quebec.

Well for sure Quebec should not be missed. The weather may get up into the 80s, especially in Montreal. Then again the evenings can be cool.
