cruising Pacific from LA to Hawaii?

[mm&jjm]

Plan on cruising Oceania in January, 2017 from LA to Hawaii then to the South Pacific. How rough is the Pacific in January? Also, can anyone recommend a good hotel for one night stay before embarking on the ship the next day? Also, any tips on tours through LA?

Just a tip before you get into too much planning, according to the Oceania site this cruise is totally waitlisted, I know because I was also interested. In fact I looked at all options I could find visiting Papeete but after an hour on the phone with TA discussing flights which were more expensive from Europe than the cruise I gave up.Now looking at New Zealand and Australia and Putting Papeete on my bucket list.

That's the trouble with the South Pacific for Europeans - it's so blooming far away and it costs a fortune to fly there. We decided the best value option was to buy a round the world air ticket but so far we haven't found the time to fit it in.

If you are serious about this cruise call Oceania directly and ask about a guaranty in your desired catagory. I did this for WC segments.

Have you done any research on the ship or the cruise line?

 

The ship is small the cabins are small unless you are in PH & above the showers are very cozy in the cabins A-G cat

 

It is open seating so you will not be sitting at the same table every day

no formal wear required

no smoking other than to 2 designated areas

the ambiance of the ship is very cozy & low key

 

what do you really want to know ?

It's a rather active Roll Call, but the cruise isn't until January, 2016, so you can't expect other passengers to answer you so quickly.

They may well only check occasionally, such as once a week (or maybe not even that often for a cruise 1/2 year away).

 

Again, that is the right place to ask.

 

 

Sounds like a great cruise - enjoy!

Thank you trying to get info regarding getting off in Moorea and spending three nights. Guess I'm a bit impatient
