IS there a website that......

gives water conditions?? I just read the post from NYdisneymom (I think this is the username) and she mentioned the boat was rocking a bit.

I thought it would be interesting to see what size of swells, wind conditions, etc can make a ship that big rock!

Thanks,
Karen

Dave's site has weather information.

The NOAA site will give buoy observations (current, historical, etc.)

in most cases when leaving the port you will feel the swell for the first 6-8 hrs. its not to bad after that. the ship has ways of keeping it self from back and forth swaying.

I have a friend that is a weather forecaster for the Air Force. He says that the best weather website is www.wunderground.com It really is a good one. And you can look at weather all over the world!!

Hey Nick-I had to chuckle-first I saw your picture, which was So very kind of you to post for me

Then I read your tag!!!


I can remember taking a few "cruises to nowhere" when I lived in South Florida. These cruises left from the West Palm Beach area and they really went "nowhere." I believe the plan was to get far enough out into International waters so the casinos could open up. Anyway-as I think back, these ships were horrible. I can remember sitting on the pool deck, water coming out of the pool as waves were breaking on to the ddeck. Some rough weather, but we had a blast. I was only 18 (drinking age was 18 then) and surrounded by friends. I felt like I was on the ship in your picture!!

Sort of on the same note, anybody know a good site that I could look up high & low tides for some of the ports (like Cozumel)?
THANKS!

Can anyone also provide the website for the webcams that track the DCL ships?

Thanks.
