ITMan Posted January 5, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hi there, We are looking to plan a holiday for either August or October this year. We are fairly limited with dates based on other family commitments. The trip would just be for 2 adults. We have seen an RCL cruise from Shanghai to Japan round trip, (itinerary below) during late August. We are concerned however if this is a good time to travel these waters and visit these cities. Is the weather going to be bad? Very wet? Very hot? Just trying to do our research before committing. Thanks in advance Alex DAY PORTS OF CALL ARRIVAL DEPARTURE Sunday, 23 August 2015 Shanghai (baoshan), China -- 17:00 Monday, 24 August 2015 Cruising -- -- Tuesday, 25 August 2015 Hiroshima, Japan 08:00 17:00 Wednesday, 26 August 2015 Cruising -- -- Thursday, 27 August 2015 Tokyo (yokohama), Japan 08:00 17:00 Friday, 28 August 2015 Kobe, Japan 15:00 23:59 Saturday, 29 August 2015 Cruising -- -- Sunday, 30 August 2015 Cruising -- -- Monday, 31 August 2015 Shanghai (baoshan), China 06:00 -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITMan Posted January 6, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi Kamloops. Thanks for your suggestion. I have looked at a number of individual weather reviews but these tend to be about the citys rather than the overall environment and conditions for a cruise in this area in August. I am concerned that it may for instance be typhoon season and if so whether that would impact a cruise of this type. Also whilst some guides suggest that it will be hot and humid I am after someone with experience who amy be able to give a more practical guide than a straight average temperature. In the past CC with its array of experts has normally come up trumps! Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamloops50 Posted January 6, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Do a Google search for typhoon season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusieKay Posted February 3, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 3, 2015 We visited Japan during the last two weeks of June a few years ago. The weather was miserably hot and humid with frequent showers. Based only on this experience alone I would expect August to be worse. Go in October! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASing1Cruise Posted February 3, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 3, 2015 2014 July and August there were a couple hurricane in Japan. Will miss some ports if that happens. It is their rainy season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4774Papa Posted February 3, 2015 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2015 We did Vantage China in September and it was the perfect time of the year for China. I would probably go with October over August, unless your cruise started in late August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITMan Posted February 3, 2015 Author #8 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks all. As it happens we changed plans to go in October half term. We are now going from Beijing (Tianjin) having a few days in Beijing from 23rd to 27th October then cruise to Nagasaki and Busan, 5 nights in the Quantum of the seas. Finally booked today. Yay!
