rtfnl Posted March 15, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hi Debbie. Fll weather in October is very nice. I would still pack a lightweight jacker just in case it rains and get cooler at night. My son is Dublin at this minute for the parade on Tuesday with his high school band. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane season is June through Nov. Most of the storms however are mid August and Sept., but it is very unpredictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you will be in the Gulf Stream the majority of the crossing, your temps will stay around 80 degrees day and night because that will be the ocean water temps. October is still summer for the southeast US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbymark Posted March 15, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted March 15, 2009 one last question....Do Royal Caribbean still give on board credit if you book when you are on a cruise with them? We go in May on the Navigator. Thanks everyone for their support and answering my questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtfnl Posted March 15, 2009 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Do you know know if the St Patrick's Day Parade in Dublin is going to be streamlined? It would be great to watch the Kiltie Band march. I heard from his chaperone this am that he is having a blast. They arrived this morning. I'm sorry for highjacking the thread, but i need to know and couldn't find the answer online. Thanks, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bank holiday in Ireland I'm pretty sure. An Irish friend of mine was telling me it used to be weird when Americans wanted to know what celebrations were happening for St.Patricks.

Table 6 UK Posted March 15, 2009 #11 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Debbie Perhaps I`m being a bit thick here - having just come back from the pub - but I would be very interested to know which transatlantic you have in mind going west to east in October. Its probably me not thinking straight - so please excuse me. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
