gretan Posted September 7, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I’m starting to pack for next Saturday’s 3 day cruise from Vancouver to LA on the Royal. Rain is in the forecast for Vancouver and LA is gorgeous right now. It got me thinking... what’s it going to be like on the ship. We always bring a light sweater because ships tend to be over air conditioned, but has anyone done this cruise and can share your experience? Thanks!

TM Posted September 7, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Typically when you will be at sea on the itinerary it will be on the cooler side outside on the ship's decks. But you never know for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted September 7, 2019 #3 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Pack your parkas, hats, gloves, and boots until the ship crosses the US border and then it will be nice weather. Just kidding!! Edited September 7, 2019 by steelers36 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wineglass Posted September 7, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I am on the same cruise. Weather forecast for Vancouver for Sunday14 September is low 70’s with chance of rain. Nights will be colder, especially at sea. The Pacific is cold water, especially that far north. LA is still hot right now (90-100), but due to cool a bit on Sunday. A jacket or sweater should be enough for Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted September 7, 2019 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2019 We've done this cruise quite a few times and have had varying weather. Once, it rained solid for the first two days. Another time, it was so foggy, the fog horn was blaring night and day and made it impossible to sleep. But the majority of the time, we've had gorgeous warm sunny days with cool evenings and mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gretan Posted September 7, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Thanks everyone for your responses. You confirmed what I was thinking. We live in Manhattan Beach (suburb of LA) and have done about 30 cruises, but very few on the west coast, so I really appreciate the feedback!

matadams4u Posted September 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I will be on this cruise and have done it many times. Agree with others - expect fall weather and possibly some rain. A light sweater at night and a long sleeve pullover during the day. Also bringing a wind breaker hoodie this go round. Only once was the ship rocking and rolling to the distress of the blue cards. I always bring my bonine just in case. I wear long athletic pants during the day and dress pants at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layers for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also be on this cruise with my husband and in-laws. I did the similar one last year and the weather was mild most of the time, especially the last day was nice for being outside. A northbound I did this May, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haboob Posted September 8, 2019 #11 Share Posted September 8, 2019 You're sailing in the California Current. Figure 55º - 60ºF water temp and go from there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Current Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCCRUSINGCOUPLE Posted September 8, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Done the cruise 6 plus times it is a really hit and miss however I have always done it worth to pack shorts and Jeans and a light jacket.
