Question
We are cruising from LA to Hawaii and back 20 December 2009 - 3 January 10.  What can we expect from the weather during the crossing?

Thanks so much!

Answer
It is WAY too early to tell what will be happening weather wise in that area. In general, that is a good time of year to be going on a cruse in that part of the Pacific Ocean. However, if there is a moderate to strong El Nino going on at that time, then all bets are off. That could mean a much stormier scenario. Your best bet is to check back with us in the late fall.
