JessInNY Posted September 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hello All! I am hoping someone can help me -- I will be on the Sapphire Princess on October 5th. It's easy to know what to pack for the Caribbean, but I am not sure what to pack at this time of year for the California Coastal cruise. Any information would be most appreciated - i.e., expected temperatures at sea. Thank you very much! -Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam in CA Posted September 13, 2013 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hello All! I am hoping someone can help me -- I will be on the Sapphire Princess on October 5th. It's easy to know what to pack for the Caribbean, but I am not sure what to pack at this time of year for the California Coastal cruise. Any information would be most appreciated - i.e., expected temperatures at sea. Layers. It'll be cool while at sea, probably cool in SF, warmer in San Diego and Ensenada. The water off the coast of CA is very cold (California Current flowing from the Gulf of Alaska) but it'll be warmer in port. In San Francisco, daytime highs over the next two weeks are forecast to be between 60's-73o. Santa Barbara is forecast to be between 79-83o. San Diego between 79-91o. Ensenada 75-82o.

sunsetbeachgal Posted September 13, 2013 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2013 We did a California Coastal on the Sapphire last October...LOVED the itinerary and the ship. Exactly as Pam said...we took shorts, jeans, a jacket for San Francisco as it was cooler there. It was comfortably warm in Santa Barbara, Catalina, San Diego and Ensenada.

DrivesLikeMario Posted September 13, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Capris and a lightweight jacket. We get the Santa Ana winds in October a lot, so it will be a warm (and sometimes hot) breeze if that happens while you're onboard. I'd pack a pair of jeans for SF and capris for the others.

Happy ks Posted September 13, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2013 You should check the weather just before leaving for each port stop. I've tried to find at sea temps before, but can't figure that out, perhaps someone else will know where to look for that info. We did a repo last year from Vancouver to LA, I took long pants, long sleeved shirts and a lightweight jacket. Even inside I was freezing the whole time at sea. I didn't thaw out until we got off the ship in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
