First cruise

[Margaret Oldham]

I am new to JY.
Last year I went on my first holiday for 25 years- to Cyprus, alone. This time I thought company would be good so am thinking of trying the Aegean cruise in March.
Can anyone help with a few questions please ?
What would the weather be like in that area in March ? (Greece, Turkey, Rhodes )
What clothes does one take on a cruise ?
Thanks
Margaret

Hi Margaret,

I am also new to JY and have been looking at the cruise. Can't make up my mind, it would be my first holiday alone. Anyone already booked?

Hi Ann
Going alone doesn't bother me, in fact I like the idea of meeting up with other single travellers. My indecision is caused by the weather at that time of year. More enquiries suggest that the temperatures could be as low as 54 deg F and it could be chilly even on the ship. I was thinking of relaxing on deck in the sunshine between ports but not sure now if that would be practical.
Any others been there at this time of year ?

Hi Ann.
I thought I had replied before but it hasn't appeared here.
I would really like to go on this cruise but not in March. Further research shows the temperatures in that area in March to be as low as 54 F- not the ideal weather for relaxing on deck or sightseeing in sleeveless tops as I wanted.
But I will be booking the Andalucian holiday in June instead.
If you go, have a good time !

Hi Margaret,

Thanks for the information. I think you are right,probably to cool for a cruise. Like you I will look later in the year. Hope you have a good holiday.
