kenandlaura06 Posted September 10, 2005 #77 Share Posted September 10, 2005 It has certainly gotten much cooler the last few nights. Beautiful weather, nice crisp nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy4cruisn Posted September 10, 2005 #78 Share Posted September 10, 2005 OK, since we are on the weather topic, I would like to know what to expect by mid October. OUr cruise leave Montreal Oct 12 and I think we will be in Bar Harbor Oct 22. I sure do hope it will be cooler than Texas :) Nan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenandlaura06 Posted September 12, 2005 #79 Share Posted September 12, 2005 It could be anywhere from the 30s to the 60s (or 70s!). Wear layers! Most likely it will be in the 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWog Posted September 14, 2005 #82 Share Posted September 14, 2005 It will definitely be cooler than Texas, but it did hit the 90s in places yesterday and supposed to today as well. Pretty unusual for this time of year, but should make for some great foliage later on. We'll see. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I am hoping for a beautiful fall, after our not so great spring and the tough winter and humid summer---one season needs to be nice for us this year!

TheWog Posted September 15, 2005 #84 Share Posted September 15, 2005 I agree. They are already talking about a less than stellar apple season. Great. Hopefully it will be nice and crisp with full sunshine this fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicmansmom Posted January 5, 2006 Author #87 Share Posted January 5, 2006 hello everyone. i have been away for awhile but i am in the planning stages of a sept cruise to new england/canada this sept. of course it will be on the carnival victory. so i am in the research stage again. i cant wait to go since this is my dream cruise (except alaska of course ) so i am getting up to date on this itinerary and all the things to do . i will be going by myself but, that does not bother me. seeing all the sights and doing interesting port things are my main priorities. eating lots of lobster, sight seeing and shopping in the ports are the what will keep me busy. any advice as too what airport to fly into and what hotel for the pre-cruise stay will be greatly helpful. i cant wait to read all the great info here on the boards for my upcoming cruise.

musicmansmom Posted January 29, 2006 Author #90 Share Posted January 29, 2006 we sail from the west side of manhattan. i am flying into lga but i am having a hard time finding the right place to stay. i have to admit that the prices for a room in new york is way over the amount i have ever had to spend before. $250 for just one night :eek: is outrageous too me. i would like to stay in middle manhattan if possible but i am not having any luck with priceline and i have to have two beds so priceline might not work for us anyway. i have everything set now--cruise and flight but the room is the big challange now. i will be doing some big-time research to find a room for us :) . thanks for any help.

Travel 4 Ever Posted February 4, 2006 #92 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Finding a room in Manhattan under $200 will be a difficult task. That is even before the taxes on the room which will be at least 18%. I would suggest staying near the airport in Queens at a motel and then venturing into Manhattan.

TXMary Posted February 6, 2006 #95 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Sorry I can't be of help to you...I am a Boston girl, not a New Yorker! Just what I need!! I am in the very beginning stages of planning the Jewel for October 2006. We have been to Boston before, but not for a cruise and stayed in the burbs and rode the train in. So, if we need one night pre-cruise, close to the pier, what would you suggest? Thanks for any help you can give us! ETA: Doesn't necessarily have to be close to the pier!

I would recommend the Copley Westin or Marriot Long Wharf...both in great locations for seeing a little of Boston while you are there...the pier is not in a touristy area.

powersl Posted March 13, 2006 #99 Share Posted March 13, 2006 After reading about the weather last year, I too am thinking I may still need some summer wear for the Sept 23 trip. I was not planning on summer clothes but that would be great - being able to sit out on the aft balcony in warm weather - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably should pack summer clothes, as well as sweaters, long pants, and a jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
