Spring Break Weather on the Gulf

[disneyduggan]

We leave on our cruise out of Galvaston on March 27...how cold might our days a sea be? Will we be able to swim and enjoy on deck activities during the day?

You should have nice weather....it will almost certainly be warm enough to sun, if not to swim!

This far out, it's anybody's guess. I would plan on it being cool when going out and coming back, but check the weather at www.weather.com and it can give you ranges for that time of year. You'll need to check back right before you go to maybe adjust your packing.

We took a cruise out of Galveston last Spring Break. Our cruise left during the same time as a front was moving through. The first day was a little chilly, but the farther south you go the warmer it will get. That front also made the first night a bit choppy at sea. I would recommend taking some Bonine with you in case the weather changes.

 

We had a stop in Cozumel and it was just warm enough to snorkel. The water took a minute or two to get use to, but we did it and had great fun.

 

Have a great Spring Break.

I went I think around April 4? two years ago on Voyager. Would you believe it snowed the night before the cruise. I drove through at least a foot of snow for over an hour south of Dallas. .. the snow didnt quite reach Galveston, but close.

 

SNOW!!! talk about bummed and cold sailaway. Ocean water and swimming too cold for me.

Well...since there is not a thing I can do about the weather, I won't worry about it and just plan to enjoy my first cruising experience! Sounds like a sweatshirt and/or jacket might be in order. Any reason to think at sea it would be cold enough for the kids to need their Northface Danali jackets?
