My mom did the Vancouver to Hawaii itinerary in May and had big waves and cold weather for the first 3 days at sea. After that, it warmed up and the waves calmed down. It's not unusual to have large waves in the Pacific, but I've also seen it as flat as a pancake. =huh Here's a great site that shows the wave heights for the Pacific:https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/PUBLIC/WAM/all_npac.htmlWhat I've seen after watching this site for weeks and weeks is that there seems to be "cells" of waves that come from the North. In between these "cells", there are pretty decent seas - 6-9 ft. being the norm, usually on the 6' side. The good thing about being on a ship is that not only is the "cell" moving South, the ship is moving Southwest and usually cuts across the cell toward Hawaii and isn't in the big waves for long. Not sure if that was any help! :dizzy
