Hawaiian Seas

[spurt]

We are considering a voyage on the Pride of America in February. What have people's experiences been about the seas during that cruise? Rough, calm, somewhere in between? How does the ship handle the sea's condition?

the seas around the islands is usually fairly calm. We have only once ran into rough seas between the islands . That was when we left Kauai for Hilo.

Calm waters because you sail very close to land.

 

Great way to see the islands and the biggest bang for your buck.

Calm, calm, calm.

Calm is not true. The winter months also mean big wave season in Hawaii. Waters can be rough on the southside of the islands but the waves are much bigger on the northside of the islands. Winter months also mean LOTS of whales though.

Calm for us. Went January 2013.

We had high winds for two nights and the outside decks were closed. Probably not the norm though. This was in December.

My experience was that it was very calm - Sailed in November 2009
