Lindsay Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Hi, we just booked a cruise with Royal Caribbean for Ovation of the Seas which departs from Hawaii at end of April and arrives in Vancouver, British Columbia in May. Wanting to see what to expect for the weather so we pack right? Also did anyone do any excursions not through the ship on the big island in Hawaii? What do you recommend? Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendall James-Vargas Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 @Lindsay That an awesome cruise! I love when cruises have different embarkation and disembarkation ports. Will you be cruising out this April? Hawaii will be lovely this time of year. It will be warm, sunny, and humid with not much chance of rain. Bringing a light rain jacket is a good idea because it is spring. You never know when you will get some rain, so it's better to be prepared just in case. There are lots of excursion options in Hawaii from beaches to more adventurous hikes. Which Hawaiian island would you like excursion recommendations for? https://www.cruisehive.com/category/cruise-port-tips/hawaii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsay Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 We will be on Kailua Kona and looking for those excursions. Not sure what time the tender will be going in and out. Yes we will be going end of April. Wondering what weather will be for leaving Hawaii to Vancouver, British Columbia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Sisters Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 @Lindsay Kailua Kona will be a lovely stop, but tender ports always take lots of patience! I would advise almost waiting till an hour has passed before getting off the ship unless you have priority disembarkation. This article will give you great tips for Kailua Kona! https://www.cruisehive.com/ways-to-enjoy-kailua-kona-hawaii-for-cruise-visitors/33202 Spring time is always filled with showers. I hope, for your sake, that you can avoid those shower, but it's inevitable. I wouldn't expect much of a chill, but I would expect amazing flowers and gardens! Butchard Gardens is a must see in Vancouver is you are interested. Will this be your first time cruising to these lovely destinations?

Cruising Caribbean Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 @Lindsay I would recommend snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay if you enjoy snorkeling. It's top-rated by guests and is filled with lots of marine life! https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g60580-d109549-Reviews-Kealakekua_Bay-Captain_Cook_Island_of_Hawaii_Hawaii.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
