njaloha Posted August 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Interested in booking a trans pacific cruise to Hawaii but worried about rough seas. Is there an ideal time to go? Hurricanes in the summer, storms in the winter. Spring? November/December?:confused: Welcoming all advise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted August 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Some research on the West Coast Departures board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=413 and the Hawaii board, here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=62 would reveal, while the seas can't be predicted- particularly for a "when is it calmest" concept, there is likely roughness the first 36-48 hours out of the West Coast, and the last 36-48 hours coming back.

SadieN Posted August 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Pacific is a bit of a misnomer. It was just peaceful after what Magellan went thru under South America. Even at its calmest, the ship can have a small roll. Onboard it's easy to pick out the regular Caribbean cruiser v the regular Pacific (West Coast) cruiser. Bring the remedy of choice onboard.

Sounds similar to mid-atlantic sailings from NJ to Caribbean in January/February. First 36-48 and last 36-48 are typically no-sleep nights for me but not bothered by sea sickness. and Thanks for the referrals to proper boards for more info. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
