betmust Posted February 13, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 13, 2015 We are thinking of doing a cruise in the Northwest and are starting to look at them - ports of call and whatever... What is the best time of year for a cruise here. I know weather is so subjective - some like it cooler and some warmer. If you did a cruise here, what time of year was it and how was the weather?/ Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 13, 2015 #2 Share Posted February 13, 2015 The weather can vary considerably north to south along the west coast. Are we talking LA to Seattle (or vice versa)? Probably August. Second half of August into early September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxo Posted February 14, 2015 #3 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Mid-July to mid-August are the driest weeks in Cascadia (Vancouver/Seattle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betmust Posted February 14, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted February 14, 2015 thank you. We were looking at 2 different itineraries - one from Vancouver down to San Diego and one that started at San Diego and went to San Francisco. May have to do some more research before deciding which one to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtwingcpa Posted February 14, 2015 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Note that most cruises to/from the Northwest are in the nature of one way "repositioning" cruises - so for the most part they will only occur in the spring (Apr/May) heading north, or fall (Sep/Oct) heading south. I'd say the weather in the fall is more likely to be better, but anything can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 14, 2015 #6 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Just between San Diego and SF, I would go in August, September, maybe early October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
