Emerald in a storm

[cruisingrob21]

Anyone on the Emerald currently? Looks like shes (large blue arrow/ship icon near middle of screen on the left image) sailing through a nasty pacific storm/depression with 30knot wind and 12ft swells.

Yup. I’d say that’s about right. We are definitely rocking and rolling out here but loving every minute :)

Maybe not loving ‘every’ minute. Lol. Walking is pretty touch and go. Lol

Thats the chance you take cruising to Hawaii this time of yr.

[cr8tiv1]

It says bound for Hilo. Where did you leave from (the map looks like Canada?).

[cruisingrob21]

yes, its RT Vancouver. The Eurodam is doing a similar voyage. Then both ships will head south with a stop in Astoria and the Emerald will end up in LA and Eurodam in San Diego.

 

Good luck out there...seems you are close to the center of the storm which appears calmer.

I know I saw one of the Princess ships had a cruise to Hawaii from Vancouver.

Maybe it was the Emerald.

12 ft. swells, you can feel, but it's not a "major" event.

Yes it is the Emerald Princess. Left Vancouver on the 4th and returns there on the 19th.

12’ swells? That’s not even rough.

My cousin is on this cruise! Fairly typical for this time of year to have some bouncy waves.

 

They had a beautiful day in Vancouver when they left.

That's not a storm. When the fishermen come in, that's a storm.

[riclop]

It's that time of the year.

The Emerald is going to have a rough trip from Vancouver. Hurricane Walaka formed in the Central Pacific below Hawaii and is making a b-line to Alaska. It skirted west of Kauai, but threatened Johnston Islands and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

30 knots is not a Storm, in fact it is not even a Gale. A Storm is 48-55knots.

 

30 knots is Beaufort Scale 7 and is correctly described as a ‘Near Gale’,

 

Getting a bit bumpy, particularly in a small yacht, but certainly nothing to worry about.

We love cruises that are really rough, everyone is miserable in there cabins and the ship is empty. I guess I am just selfish [emoji33]

Me too and I sleep like a baby!!

Since you are on the Emerald now, I have a question about the Internet offerings.

 

Are they offering (a) minute packages or (b) unlimited packages that are social, surf or stream or © both.

 

Do you know the pricing if eligible for elite/platinum passengers to upgrade from free minutes to an unlimited package? How does that pricing differ from packages bought by those who are not platinum/elite?

 

Thanks

Thank you for your post. I had to look the two places that you mention in your post (Johnston Islands and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.) I knew about Mid-way island and sea mounts, but not about all most all the info on the National Monument and Johnston Islands. Very interesting read about both places.

I never would have look them up unless you posted about them.

We are all good now. Through the storm and smooth sailing ahead. :)

 

No unlimited internet as far as I could tell. Just my elite minutes (250) that I’m using to check in from time to time.
