Juanito Posted April 20, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2004 My wife and I are excited about our first Mediterranean cruise. I have been reading the posts on this board and find them very useful. Thank you all. Does anyone have any experience with the weather in this area in mid-October? Will the Tapas Grill be too cold for al fresco dining? Do you recommend the excursion packages offered by Oceania? Thanks Juanito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted April 21, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 21, 2004 We just booked that cruise today! The free airfare was too good to resist. We're not big fans of ship sponsored shore excursions, but may do the Amalfi drive tour. I think it's great that Oceania posts detailed information about the shore excursions on their web site. I may look into hiring private guides, especially if we can link up with some other people. Is that something you might be interested in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juanito Posted April 22, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Absolutely! I'm looking forward to shopping for the best guides, etc. Keep in touch. Juanito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andee Posted April 27, 2004 #4 Share Posted April 27, 2004 On the yahoo board, I met another couple on "our' sailing with whom we seem to be quite compatible. If you email me at [email]andeebram@wi.rr.com[/email], we can talk about the trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipcruise Posted April 27, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 27, 2004 We must be on the cruise right after yours! The weather is really nice in October, not too hot, not too cold. Most days around low 70's. Not sure where you are going, but it will be warmer in Athens and the more southern areas. I wear capris a lot with short sleeve or sleeveless tops, but take cardigan sweaters for those cooler mornings. Remember that sleeveless tops and shorts are not what one should wear to churches, etc. If you take a light cardigan sweater that works well.
