I am thinking about going on a mediterranean cruise this october...my fear is that it will be so cold that we wont be able to enjoy the pools and things on the ship while cruising....has anyone had this before?

Hi there - a warm welcome to CLF!!
I am glad you found us.

Where in the Med are you planning on going and with which ship??

October is usually very rainy since its just after a very warm and dry summer. October is however not cold, the temperature is very comfortable.
If you want warm your best months are late May to mid June. June to the end of August is very hot. September is really comfortable also.

hi and welcome. lars gave you great advice, try and go in september, it's one of the best months to be there.

Welcome aboard

I was in the Med at the end of October early November last year and it was warm enough to go in the pool and sit outside in the sun.

But we did also get rain, it depends if your are going into the eastern or western Med.

Like Lars said, July and August are very hot (too hot for me)
