Question
Hi,  My husband and I leave on a 16 day Holland America cruise on Oct 8, 2008 from San Diego.  5 days cruising across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii, 6 days "doing" the islands, 5 days back to Ensenada then San Diego.

What can we expect traversing the Pacific Ocean on these dates?

Thank you...just checking if I should be prepared for rough seas.

Answer
Lynn,

Right now, at first glance, the weather looks pretty good for your cruise. Much of the time will likely be quiet weather wise. However, that is still 9 days away. So, your best bet would probably be to check back a few days before your trip just to make sure.

Sincerely,
