C. Anne Posted May 4, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2009 We are cruising with 4 kids in November. Does anyone have experience with cruising at this time of year? Is it cool enough to need several pants and long sleeves? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onessa Posted May 4, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 4, 2009 We regularly cruise over Thanksgiving (last full week in November). I can tell you that in Hawaii, it really didn't matter -- it was 80-85 degrees pretty much every day. Barcelona, Nice/Monte Carlo, Venice, Split were a bit cool -- high 50's to mid 60's. Athens, Rome, Napels mid-to high 70s. In Australia it is late spring and as you go north it is quite hot. We may do South or Central America this Thanskgiving -- we'll let you know how that goes! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted May 4, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 4, 2009 If you cruise to the Caribbean, it wil be quite warm. If you're cruising to New England, it will be quite chilly. Where are you going and where are you cruising from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2girls Posted May 4, 2009 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2009 When I've cruised in the Caribbean in November we just wore shorts and capris. We could still go in the water since it was extremely warm.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C. Anne Posted May 21, 2009 Author #7 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Sorry, yes where we are going would make a difference in the weather! Jamaica, GC, and Cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky616 Posted May 21, 2009 #8 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Sorry, yes where we are going would make a difference in the weather! Jamaica, GC, and Cozumel. When were in Cozumel 2 years ago at the end of November it was 87 degrees and sunny.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted May 21, 2009 #9 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Sorry, yes where we are going would make a difference in the weather! Jamaica, GC, and Cozumel. That's better. :D Yes, shorts. It's warm in November in the Western Carib. I been there in the middle of winter (Feb) and it was still 72 degrees there and they said that was lower than normal. So for November, I'd say it will still be in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julienatul Posted May 21, 2009 #10 Share Posted May 21, 2009 For the most part it will be warm. However, we cruised a few years ago in December to those exact places and they had a cold front come through and it did get a bit chilly 50's in GC. (It was a rare coldfront). I am from Fl so I didnt bother packing any long sleeve clothes. The usual temp that time of year is 70's-80's. I wished I had brought at least one jog suit. So pack mostly warm weather clothes bt remember one cool weather outfit for each of you and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warm Breezes Posted May 21, 2009 #11 Share Posted May 21, 2009 We went to those places in November and December and only needed shorts and swimsuits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeleBrat Posted May 22, 2009 #12 Share Posted May 22, 2009 In addition to deciding what to wear during that time of year, don't forget that the ocean water will be colder as well. You may not want to swim... CeleBrat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C. Anne Posted May 22, 2009 Author #13 Share Posted May 22, 2009 My parents took my kids on a cruise in January once out of Galveston and it was chilly on the boat. No problem with the boat being cold I guess in November? Thanks!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem with the boat being cold I guess in November? Thanks!:) Oh I am always cold on a ship. It has more to do with the air conditioning inside the ship though. So yes, I never seem to bring enough long sleeves for the nights on the ship.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZEmom Posted May 24, 2009 #15 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I did this same cruise for Thanksgiving the last two years. It was mostly warm and able to swim (only a bit chilly). But some of the mornings in port were cool (high 60's?) and we needed a light jacket, which I always bring anyway since the dining rooms are freezing! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C. Anne Posted May 24, 2009 Author #16 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Thank you all for your input. We will bring one warmer outfit and a jacket.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
