Question
Hello,

Cruising from Vancouver B.C. to Hawaiin Islands and back what kind of weather should we expect?  Travel dates 4/24/2011 arrive hawaii 4/30 depart 17 day circle cruise.

Thanks

Answer
Michelle,

The weather during the first part of this period looks pretty nice in the Hawaiin Islands...mostly dry each day with plenty of sunshine. Daytime highs will be in the 80s, with nighttime lows near 70. In sharp contrast, the weather in and near Vancouver, B.C. will be much worse. Much of that time will be cloudy, and it will rain on at least several occasions. Temperatures will generally be in the 50s by day and the 40s at night. In between the two extremes, you will likely experience a transition of weather.
As for the latter portion of this cruise, it is a little too far in advance to give you any specific details.

Sincerely,

Dave Dombek
