Rare Acrusa Posted November 1, 2016 #1 Share Posted November 1, 2016 We will be cruising from Los Angeles to Hawaii and onto Tahiti the beginning of January. Does anyone know what type of weather we should expect? Need advice for what type of clothing we should bring for the first part to Hawaii? The remainder of the cruise will be more tropical.

SadieN Posted November 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted November 1, 2016 It'll be cooler the first two days leaving LA. Possibly rough seas while crossing the Alaskan Current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAN415 Posted November 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hawaii I know very well, my Husband lived there for a while and so we have been to all the islands several times through out the year and for 3 to 6 weeks at a time. The weather in Hawaii doesn't change much, during the cooler months, December , January, and February, it will be in the high 70s. Maybe low 80s. During the summer the temps get to the high 80s. There is almost always a good breeze. With the breeze off the ocean it can feel like a light sweater is needed. I wore capris or a skirt, tank top, and a light sweater most every day. And of course flip flops. If you go up country you will want to have a warm sweater or a jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted November 1, 2016 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Bring a waterproof hooded lightweight jacket also a sweater. You can layer them over your more tropical clothes & be perfectly fine Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted November 1, 2016 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Google the weather in your ports. On the ship...it's windy on deck while you're moving. The inside of the ship is like home...room temperature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collegegirl92 Posted November 5, 2016 #7 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I would bring a couple lightweight items to layer incase you get chilly. Maybe a thin jacket. It depends on how well you handle cold and wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcur Posted November 20, 2016 #8 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I been on the Hawaii/Tahiti cruise, round trip from Los Angeles. As mentioned above, it will be cool out on deck the first 2 days at sea. Pacific waters off the coast of CA are choppy and cool. So, definitely a good windbreaker type jacket. As you get closer to Hawaii, the weather gets warmer every day. The jacket comes off, lightweight tops go on. It's still breezy on deck, but it's a warm breeze. Hawaii is usually drier in January, but still warm and humid. From this point on your coolest summer clothes are best. Tahiti (ESPECIALLY Samoa) are hot and humid. Think tropics for sure. Then, reverse the temperature change as you go back to CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
