cabinluvn Posted December 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I know this has been discussed before, but I cannot remember the answers. We will be doing the Hawaii Circle, with a total of 10 sea days. What will the temperature inside the ship be while at sea? I have heard that the first 5 days, San Diego to the first port, can be rough sailing, so windy, I assume. Will the A/C be blasting? Ports will be warm, so thinking what I need to pack for sea days.

CruiserBruce Posted December 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Several issues here. First, if you know something has been discussed, a search will probably reveal it. Second, a search would reveal the common statement that the first 24-48 hours can be rougher. This also applies to the last 24-48 hours coming back to San Diego. And that the temps will increase as you head towards Hawaii, and correspondingly, decrease as you return to the West Coast. Winds and rough seas don't absolutely correlate.

aa7yy Posted December 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) We just returned from the 27 day Med /TA on the Oosterdam. There was no warm comfortable places on the ship with two exceptions. 1) The Crows Nest could be OK, but then it became the garbage basket for all of the events that had no other place to be. So to loud. 2) The Lido deck, by the pool when they had the lid closed, then some humidity to warm it up. Great around 3-6 in the afternoon. I certainly will not claim that all ships are the same, but if you like to sit and read in a quite spot bring a least a sweater, maybe two. Maybe a lite fleece pull over or jacket. On the Oosterdam it felt like the 2nd and 3rd floor were refrigerated, so they were deserted with lots of empty bars. So, higher up with sun on your windows. Pretty good chance you'll be on the shady side at least one way. And yes it is pretty difficult to balance the AC over 10+ decks. I can't even get it right in our house. It seems as we mature that more of us are having some swings in our "comfort" zone. Unfortunatly we do not all seem to be swinging the same way. To hot / to cold, to hot, to cold.

Krazy Kruizers Posted December 1, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 1, 2016 We found that the first couple of days and the last couple of days it was rough and chilly. So take a couple of sweaters and maybe one long pair of slacks. We did the Hawaiian cruise on the Amsterdam and there were warm places on the ship and cold places on the ship.

take us away Posted December 1, 2016 #5 Share Posted December 1, 2016 This is a loaded question as depends on so many things like which ship, what is the temp outside, how well the HVAC is operating overall and in the specific location, how many people are on board or in the venue. The fewer the passengers, the colder it will be in the public areas. Recommend shawls or sweater just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlsSalt Posted December 1, 2016 #6 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Cabins can be on the warm scale and the public rooms on the cold scale. Officially, normal cabin temps were reported to be 73-77 degrees, which can feel quite different depending upon the humidity and the outside temps. Public rooms can often feel much cooler and/or drafty so I always bring a sweater, fleece, vest or cashmere stole as my back up. You can get these types of items in the ship store, so don't worry if you did not pack them ahead of time. Though that $3000 Russian cashmere stole with sequins we saw in the ships store on our Baltic cruise did give us pause. Nope, most ships have these extras more in the $10-30 range.

catl331 Posted December 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I would say Come prepared. i.e. lighter clothes for hot days and warmer for colder. This will be for all HAL ships and their a/c. One honestly sees people wandering around looking for temps that meet their needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 2, 2016 #8 Share Posted December 2, 2016 The inside temp is "room temperature"...somewhere around 72 degrees... Feels cold if it's 90 out..but warm if it's 40 out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
