Question
We are considering cruising to Hawaii from San Diego in early November.  We are concerned about rough seas since it is 4 days at sea on the way.  Is that likely to be a problem?
Thank you.

Answer
Debbie,

The later into November you get, the more likely it is that you will encounter rough seas. There is no guarantee that you won't hit rough seas in the early part of the month either, depending on the weather pattern at the time. Your best bet is to check back with me closer to your actual trip.

Sincerely,
