Thank you, David. I'm so busy right now that I don't have time to properly research my trip. This helps so much! Won't be long now.

I'm thinking about booking the Navigator Nice to FLL in 2006. Handy information. Anyone know the temps while in the Atlantic?

Hi! Beth:
Last year, 2004, in October, we sailed from Venice to FLL and the weather was magnificent. From previous postings about last year's Voyager trip it was reported that the captain tracked 100 miles south of his planned route to take advantage of warmer temperatures.

Thank you, David & Betty. We are looking forward to this trip & to meeting you! This information helps me plan - thank you very much! We haven't been present on LCT for a while but we're back home in Calif. now & are "trying" to get ourselves together for this trip. (I understand what you mean, Donna, about being rushed for this one.) Any advice is very welcomed.

David & Betty, It's nice to know that the captain can cruise around to find the best weather for the trip. I look forward to kicking back, relaxing and enjoying the ride.

The lovely Miss Lynn and I have made 3 Fall crossings from the Med to FLL in the past couple of years. The temps have been very comfortable( mid 60s to mid 70s ). However, we have had some rain and some troubled seas on all three of those crossings. We have found the Spring crossings to be much more pleasant. Have done two of them in the same period.

The Spring 2006 Navigator crossing fares are definitely more reasonable. I will still be amongst the working world then. Gotta wait until Fall.

Doug, that's good to know, since if there's a crossing in our future in the next few years, it would have to be a spring one, until David retires from teaching, which will not be any time soon, since they've done away with mandatory retirement, and he loves his work. (Oh, a run-on sentence, think I'll just leave it that way!)
