Gingee Posted January 15, 2011 #1 Share Posted January 15, 2011 We have been booked on the northbound cruise from San Diego to Vancouver since last summer for this May. Just read that the northbound's weather is usually not good and the seas are rough. Any experience anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerThom Posted January 15, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2011 We have been booked on the northbound cruise from San Diego to Vancouver since last summer for this May. Just read that the northbound's weather is usually not good and the seas are rough. Any experience anyone?We did the LA - Alaska - Vancouver May 2010 repositioning on Mercury [half-sister of Century]. Weather in Alaska was gorgeous [calm, sunny, 80s] but south of that it was rough and cool [40s and 50s]. 40 foot waves off Oregon, and not a lot better elsewhere south of the Inside Passage. But weather is highly variable. Thom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimletgal Posted January 15, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2011 We have been booked on the northbound cruise from San Diego to Vancouver since last summer for this May. Just read that the northbound's weather is usually not good and the seas are rough. Any experience anyone? We had the same experience as Thom on our May 2010 Alaska cruise going from San Diego to Seattle (first leg) on the Millennium. 2 pretty rough sea days going North in the Pacific. You may get lucky but I think that area is generally pretty rough. Once we reached Seattle, we had beautiful weather for the remainder of the cruise! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted January 15, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hi Gingee:) I know you posted about this on the roll call. That Sept southbound sailing is 14 nights and wayyy more $:eek:. It might be smoother but if it is not within the budget? Smoother seas won't matter;) I can't wait to sail in May:D...dress appropriately and if you are prone to sea-sickness bring some Bonine.

Rare Essiesmom Posted January 15, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Two years ago, I did two Mexi-not cruises on Carnival Splendor in mid-May, Long Beach to Vancouver via Astoria and Victoria. I had a front facing cabin, right under the bridge. there were some bumpy times, felt like we were hitting potholes, but nothing that would make you seasick or keep you awake. I would not worry.
