On board will be hot but can anyone advise on what the weather is usually like and what clothes they should bring for on shore visits. Thanks. |

Cool enough to want to be active, not too many tourists, the ocean is still warm, so it's comfortable walking the beach. Warm is a relative term here, about 50F. By the middle of Sept, the leaves will be turning, at least in the swamps. |

(Lots of cruise ships are there already and they will continue to be there through the fall.) I suggest clothing that can be layered including a light wool or fleece sweater, jacket, or shawl, but most daytime wear can be cotton or cotton/synthetic blend. An umbrella or waterproof poncho will be useful, too. |

Layers work, as mentioned. The coastline in Maine will be pretty as it changes from summer to fall. |
