mountainmare Posted August 13, 2008 #4 Share Posted August 13, 2008 We cruised last Feb and it was wonderful!!! Roundtrip out of Civitavecchia, up to Savona and then south to Alexandria. In Rome we had a room with a roof terrace and were able to sit out at night, all other ports were PERECT touring temps--mid 60s to low 70s. Egypt a a bit warmer and I wouldn't even attempt it during the summer. We hit somewhat rough seas (well very rough--the pilot couldn't make it out to the ship) on our way back to Civitavecchia, but that can happen at any time on any sea. You have picked a wonderful time to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapenarth Posted August 13, 2008 #5 Share Posted August 13, 2008 In Feb despite what previous experts say you are likely to have rain and it will be cool. Wrap up warm in Feb.:cool: cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmare Posted August 13, 2008 #6 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I have to remember that warm and cool depends on what you are used to. For us coming from temps well below freezing in Feb--anything seems warm!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
