Rare Ethanol95 Posted January 25, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I'm booked for a cruise on Carnival Splendour along the NSW/Queensland coast to Moreton Island. I've heard that crossing the Tasman sea is very rough, but how is it sailing by the coast? I usually sail in covered waters from big Oceans with the largest waves being at 1.2m. Is it likely to be a lot worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ethanol95 Posted January 26, 2020 Author #3 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Are waters rougher in September - October period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around February is the cyclone or typhoon season but September-October is ok. New Zealand around the bottom and bass straight can get pretty wild. We were on the ovation to Tasmania once and there was spray going right over the ship. I think ovation is 18 decks but it wasn’t to bad. Quite exciting.
