dkrom96 Posted April 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted April 6, 2008 We really like the itinerary (Istanbul, Rome, Athens as well as Florence) for this cruise (11/6-11/18), but are wary regarding weather at sea, and also ports. Any input will be appreciated. I've checked weather from previous year but need input from you. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tak2 Posted April 7, 2008 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I did Istanbul- barcelona Nov 10-24, 2007. It was rather chilly in Istanbul,< 50 F, and rained half the time. After we left, they had a storm. I recall most ports we went to had daily high of less than 65 F. Even Cairo only hit 74 F or so. Dress warm. Benefit is no crowd . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy The Wanderer Posted April 7, 2008 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Just think about the lack of tourists and the empty art galleries. You get to see these places like a local, that would be worth having to wear a jacket and carry an umbrella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkrom96 Posted April 8, 2008 Author #4 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. We're going to go ahead and book the cruise. It will certainly be a luxury to visit sites without the crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
