Jayarby Posted October 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2016 We will be sailing out of Baltimore for a seven day Carnival cruise during Thanksgiving week to the Bahamas. I know it will be chilly when departing and at some point when returning, but I don't want to pack too many heavy clothes if not necessary. If you have sailed out of Baltimore during cooler months, can you advise how many days at sea should I expect the weather to be cold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loubetti Posted October 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Use layers when necessary to dress for outdoor cooler weather. The interior of the ship will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it will be chilly when departing and at some point when returning, but I don't want to pack too many heavy clothes if not necessary. If you have sailed out of Baltimore during cooler months, can you advise how many days at sea should I expect the weather to be cold? I sailed out of Baltimore last December. It was chilly the first day. I was comfortable outside in a sweatshirt. We had rain on the first sea day and hung out under cover on the Serenity deck in long sleeves and blankets. It was cozy. After that we were nice and warm in summer clothes. I would take something warm for the first and last day and then typical summer clothes the rest of the time. Enjoy! I love the Pride and sailing out of Baltimore! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggielover68 Posted October 1, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 1, 2016 It's really hit or miss...I live in Virginia, a few hours from Baltimore. Last November it was still in the 80s and 70s most days in December. Other years it was 50 or below. Most likely the first day will be a little chilly at sea but you should be fine after that :) Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destiny217 Posted October 1, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 1, 2016 We did the Carnival Pride Thanksgiving cruise in 2013 and 2015. We live very close to the port. Thanksgiving is usually not that cold in Baltimore. By noon the next day the weather was very nice. The best advice is layers. One person's cold is another person's perfect.

ready2cruzagain Posted October 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Weather varies every year so you will never get the same answer. From our experiences, you can expect the first day to be chilly. The next a little warmer but on the several times we have sailed out of Baltimore during that time, it has been too cold to sit by the pool the second day in a bathing suit. The closer you get to Florida the warmer it will get. Whenever we sail out of Baltimore we always plan for 2 chilly days going and 2 chilly days coming back.

VASOXFANN Posted October 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted October 2, 2016 (edited) We're planning to stay inside sipping warm beverages if it's cold out :p but we'll each bring a couple sweatshirts and a jacket in case we want to walk around.

Jayarby Posted October 6, 2016 Author #9 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Thanks for the feedback! I've sailed out of Miami twice to Jamaica and Cozumel and it was smooth sailing. What are the seas like sailing along the Atlantic coast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
