Welcome to the Cruise Critic message boards and thank you for starting your first new thread on the Cruise Blogs & Websites forum. 👍 However, your thread is off topic since the forum is for our members to post their personal travelogue-type of cruise-related blogs or websites. To help you out, I have moved your thread to the West Coast Departures forum where it will be on topic  since that's where departures from Vancouver are discussed. 

 

Cruise Critic is a great resource for new as well as experienced cruisers and we are so glad you have started posting on the boards!  Please feel free to browse the Cruise Critic Community Categories list. Read a few threads in the different forums to get a feel for what each forum is about. Make sure you read any pinned threads (aka Stickies) on the top of the first page of threads in a forum. You will find very important instructions or information there. Also, please see the Cruise Critic article Top 8 Things You Can Do on the Cruise Critic Message Boards to Enhance Your Cruise.

 

Please remember the following portion from the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free Cruise Critic memberships:

 

Browse Before You Post
Browse a topic first to see if your question has already been asked or answered by someone else. Also, many of the major cruise lines forums have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) topic that has been created by our members. Give that a try first. Browsing is your #1 best resource! Please post your messages in an appropriate topic so that you'll receive the best possible response. It is very time consuming to move misplaced messages that are in the wrong topics.

 

Anytime you need to start a new thread/topic on a forum, first make sure you are in the correct forum for your topic. Word your new thread title in a way to help the members know exactly the information you seek. This greatly helps the members browsing through the thread titles and if they know the information they will reply to you.

 

It is best to limit each inquiry to only one topic or concerning only one cruise line, one ship, one port of call, etc. and of course, on the correct forum.   You will get more replies that way. Be sure to mention your cruise line, ship, port or sail date in your inquiry as that sort of information will help your fellow Cruise Critic members help you.

 

Please be sure to use the Follow feature on threads where you are interested in the replies. You won't have to go l👀king to see if there are new posts because they will come l👀king for you as notifications!  For more info please see How to: Follow Topics & Forums (Subscribed Threads/Forums Info).

 

The specific Cruise Critic Roll Call thread for your line, ship and sail date will be the place for you to get to know the other Cruise Critic members sailing with you before your cruise. Your fellow Roll Call thread members may have important information posted in your Roll Call thread. Especially those that have sailed your line, ship or itinerary before. Also, there may be existing share requests already posted in the Roll Call thread and you might want to take advantage.

 

Per the Guidelines, the specific Roll Call thread for your cruise is the only place on the Cruise Critic message boards where you and your fellow Roll Call thread members are allowed to post personal ads about sharing private tours, excursions, transportation etc. with each other to 💲ave money. That is ... if COVID-19 protocol allows by then. There is a "captive audience" on your Roll Call thread since you are all sailing together!  You will receive a much better response to your share request if you take some time to read the entire Roll Call thread, post an introductory post about yourself, and continue on with more posts back and forth to get to know the other Roll Call thread members and allow them to get to know you first before you post your share request. That is the spirit of our Roll Calls. 

 

To explain our Roll Call threads and finding the Roll Call thread for your line, ship and sail date, please read What is a Roll Call? Everything you Need to Know and How To: Create A New Roll Call. Since you do not mention your cruise line, ship and sail date, I cannot direct you to the specific Roll Call thread for your cruise if it is already established.

 

For more information about our famous Roll Calls, please read the Roll Calls and Our Policy Regarding Facebook and Roll Calls sections in the Guidelines. We also have a Cruise Critic article you might enjoy too: 8 Reasons to Join a Cruise Critic Roll Call

 

And don't forget, after your cruise be sure to submit your review for publication by Cruise Critic. Many cruisers will benefit from your experience!  See How To: Submit a Member Review.

 

Sorry this is so long, but I sincerely hope this information will be helpful to someone new to posting on our message boards. Welcome again, and we are so glad to have you aboard Cruise Critic! 

 

Happy sails,

It is late fall, almost winter, on the West Coast when you sail. It can be fairly nice on the mainland, it can be severe fire danger season (southern California), or you might get rained on...which is much more likely in Vancouver. So plan on cold, perhaps cold and wet. That will continue your first 2 days at sea. Then it will warm as you approach Hawaii.

I've not sailed from Vancouver in Oct to Hawaii, but several times from CA. I imagine it is somewhat the same. Pretty cool the first 36 hours, getting warmer as you get further south. Plan accordingly, like maybe do your spa day in that first day at sea and plan indoor activities. But even so, there will be people sunning themselves by the pool, even if it is 19° (66°) out.
