rough ocean

Planning on cruise from LA to Hawaii during Dec...how rough is the ocean at that time since we have 4 days travel each direction

[navybankerteacher]

On a rough day you might have 30 foot seas; on a calm day the ocean can be perfectly flat. Your question is similar to asking if it will be raining in a particular town on a particular day in December -- the answer is the same: it depends on the weather.

DW and I cruised from Hawaii to Ensenada in October 0f 2008. The seas were pretty calm but combining the time of year in the Pacific and the breeze the ship generates it was quite cool for the 5 day crossing.

we did Hawaii to Ensenada in Nov 2004 and the ocean was extremely rough some of the crew and people that had cruised 50 times before had never had seas like that...it was our 3rd cruise and it was ROUGH--the decks were shut down all outdoor activites canceled:(

 

i remember being at the buffet and sitting in a chair bending over to get my napkin or something and ended up sliding to the next table--it was pretty CRAZY there.

 

i am sea-sick just typing about it:eek:

I've cruised that area at least 6 or 7 times and the seas were rough the first day and a half going out from LA and the last day and a half coming back to LA.

We have cruised the RT La Hawaii also and I agree the first day or so going out and the last day or so coming back , there is I believe a natural current running through that area that the ship goes through , therefore the bit rougher seas. But not bad at all. We are doing this cruise again in a few weeks in Nov. - Dec. it is a great cruise you will have a fun time.

As Kitty9 noted, expect to have some rough seas the first day and one half out out of Los Angeles as well as the same before you arrive back there.
