KP&BP Posted September 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 14, 2017 We have a cruise scheduled January 14th out of New Orleans. Can anyone advise me of the weather during mid-January? Is it cold for sail away and at what point would we start to feel tropical temps? We have a cove balcony and love it, have sailed the Dream once before. Any comments from recent cruisers would be appreciated. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsgu Posted September 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted September 14, 2017 It's New Orleans, so it's a toss-up. It could be fairly chilly. If it's looking like it will be on the cooler side, when you board the ship it will feel much cooler due to the wind coming off the river. Or it could be sunny and 85F. With NOLA, you just never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yazoo cruiser Posted September 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Several years ago we left New Orleans wearing shorts, came back a week later and had to drive back home in Mississippi while it was sleeting the whole way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgmpuma Posted September 14, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I have spent 46 Januaries in New Orleans, and no two have been the same. Your best strategy would be to check the local forecast before you leave home: http://www.wwltv.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KP&BP Posted September 15, 2017 Author #6 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Ha! Thanks everyone - appreciate the feedback. So - I will choose both warm and cool weather outfits for sail away! Just adds to the fun, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdsgu Posted September 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2017 You don't have to overpack. Just check out wwltv.com or weatherchannel.com a few days before you cruise and you'll know what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loweral_dawn Posted September 24, 2017 #8 Share Posted September 24, 2017 We will also be on that cruise AND in a cove balcony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittybork Posted September 24, 2017 #9 Share Posted September 24, 2017 You should bring both because it could be warm/cold for sailaway and then cold/warm for getting back into port. Whatever the weather is, you'll experience it the 1st full day on the ship and the last full day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
