PCWalton1 Posted September 5, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2013 What time of year is best for calm sailing from California (San Diego or Long Beach) to Hawaii? Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Any time of year or never. Just trying to say you can never tell till the cruise rolls around. It is a big ocean. :) Historically the winter months could be the most stormy, but the summer months are the hurricane season so you never know then too.

Cruisin' Chick Posted September 5, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Our three Hawaiian cruises have all been during the holiday time and each time the sea conditions and the weather conditions have been different. Even the first time, the sailing before us was on the rough side, and our first few days had been too (there was record surf in Los Angeles at that time, too). But the way back to the west coast was so smooth. I would make sure to take whatever motion sickness remedies that work for you. BTW, my hubby and daughter weren't bothered by the sea conditions at all. And even with rainy conditions or more than moderate seas, I really enjoyed these cruises, especially with the Hawaiian cultural program on Princess.

The "cruise to Hawaii" season is October to early May. So, mostly winter months. So some roughness, particularly the first two days going, and the last two days returning, is quite likely.

Rare Keith1010 Posted September 6, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It usually is cooler the first two and last two days with some rough seas. How rough varies not as much as year to year but just can range from cruise to cruise. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whirlybird3 Posted October 16, 2013 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2013 We are currently on a Hawaii cruise! The 1st two days were rocky then smooth seas on the 3rd day with beautiful weather. We just departed Kona and en route to Hilo. Aloha! Sent using the Cruise Critic forums app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachdude Posted October 16, 2013 #8 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Our April cruise was very smooth. Don't know if that is normal. Burt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Cruizers Posted October 25, 2013 #10 Share Posted October 25, 2013 We last cruised during Oct and the first couple days was cooler and a little rocky but nothing terrible, although a few were sick, otherwise, smooth sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
