What is the expected weather?
Important Weather Information for Your Upcoming Cruise
As your cruise departure approaches, we recommend keeping an eye on the weather forecast for both your departure city and cruise destinations. This will help you:
- Pack appropriate clothing and accessories for the expected conditions
- Plan any pre-cruise travel arrangements accordingly
- Prepare for any potential weather-related schedule adjustments
Recommended Weather Resources:
- National Weather Service for US locations
- AccuWeather.com for international destinations
- Your cruise line's mobile app for ship-specific updates
We suggest checking the forecast regularly starting about 10 days before departure, with more frequent checks in the final 3-4 days before the cruise. Remember that marine weather can be quite different from land conditions, and forecasts become more accurate as your departure date gets closer. The cruise line will contact you directly if there are any weather-related changes to your itinerary.
Safe travels and smooth sailing! -
When is the registration deadline?
Registration deadline for cruise deposit is Thursday, March 6th, 2025
-
Do I need travel insurance?
While travel insurance is strongly encouraged for your cruise vacation, the choice is ultimately yours. It can protect your investment if unexpected illness, weather, or other events impact your plans. Many cruise lines offer their own insurance, but you're free to compare third-party options as well. The peace of mind often outweighs the additional cost, especially given the upfront investment a cruise requires. If you'd like specific insurance recommendations or coverage details, Angela Gazabon-Serje will be able to assist you for this cruise. You can email her at vacationishta@gmail.com
