Rita & Tim O Posted June 23, 2008 #1 Share Posted June 23, 2008 :confused: Hi, My husband and I are looking at the Princess cruise from LA to Hawaii, Nov. 26 08. Does anyone know if that is a good time to see the Whales. We have heard that they migrate from Alaska and go to Hawaii from Nov. - April. My husband thinks Feb. might be a better month to go. Any suggestions? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Elizabeth K. Posted June 23, 2008 #2 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Did a land vacation to Maui this past Jan and we saw lots of whales:) . Nov might be a bit early. This is a good question for the ports of call board as well. Might have better luck hearing from cruisers that have been there in Nov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbeagle Posted June 23, 2008 #3 Share Posted June 23, 2008 You take a chance on any cruise if you want to see whales. I have been at various times of the year and haven't seen any, but I have seen plenty of dolphins and other fish. We are on the Nov 26th cruise to Hawaii and we have a thread going on the Roll Call. Check us out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1313 Posted June 23, 2008 #4 Share Posted June 23, 2008 We cruised to Hawaii in mid-March. We saw a ton of whales.. Especially in Maui...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser from MS Posted June 23, 2008 #5 Share Posted June 23, 2008 This may be a dumb question, but can you see the whales from your balcony? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggprincess2004 Posted June 23, 2008 #6 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Whales from the balcony? We did - they put on quite a show and we got some great pictures. But, wouldn't guarantee it. We did whale watching cruise for our "shore excursion" in Maui a few years ago, and while the boats cannot approach the whales, the whales can approach the boats. A mother and calf did - wow - we were on the bow, and they swam directly beneath the bow and surfaced. Had we been 10 feet closer to the water, we could have petted them (and I would have). Awesome, and quite lucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
