Weather from Seattle to Tokyo?

[sunfan03]

Considering Royal Caribbean cruise from Seattle to Tokyo in early October 2024. Anyone have experience with crossing the North Pacific Ocean during this time? Wondering how rough the ocean will be during this time since we'll have lots of sea days. Any experience, advice (if there's a better time to travel) or suggestions is appreciated. Thanks!

We have done Vancouver to Yokohama leaving in mid-September.  We hit the remnants of  a typhoon near the Aleutian Islands.  The ship went into Yokohama a day early (we missed one Japan port) due to Typhoon Trami.  We were B2B and all B2B passengers were evacuated off the ship to Yokohama hotels.  On the second leg our  itinerary was impacted by Typhoon Kong-Rei.  But incredible fall colors.
 

I am actually posting from a hotel at the Haneda airport as we have just completed another Japan B2B set.  This time we enjoyed the cherry blossoms.

 

 On all of our Japan legs we have experienced some pretty rough seas.   But the country is so wonderful all is well worth it.

So jealous!

We were on the Seattle - Tokyo HAL Westerdam cruise Oct '23.  There was one day during the crossing that was a bit rough (less than a half day), and as we approached Japan, I believe that the Captain had to adjust the route to avoid a typhoon. 

 

We remained on the ship for the 2 week Circle Japan cruise, and me missed one port, and overnighted in a port as part of that.  Lucky for us we were basically moored across the street from a "morning market", so we got up early and had a wonderful fresh  seafood breakfast.
