      It was a loads of fun! Four Royal Caribbean ships are doing the Hawaii + Transpacific route this coming Australian cruise season - Ovation of the Seas and Brilliance of the Seas both sail to/from Sydney and Quantum of the Seas sails to/from Brisbane. Plus there is Serenade of the Seas on her Ultimate World Cruise 28 night mini segment between Los Angeles and Brisbane.

    I am doing a similar cruise April / early May 2024 and I’m curious about the weather and sea conditions on the last leg going Hawaii to Vancouver. What was your experience?

    • @3rdGenCruiser

      Hi, for the 9 day Honolulu-Vancouver leg the weather was mostly sunny and above 20°C for the first 6 days. But by the last couple of days (day 8 - 9) the daily maximum was around 12°C - definitely not short sleeve weather! The seas were not too rough, from memory. At one point the water was so smooth it almost looked like glass.

    I’m planning to take this ship from Honolulu to Sydney , Oct 2024. Do Aussies need a visa for Tahiti ?

    • @3rdGenCruiser
      @3rdGenCruiser  10 місяців тому +1

      Australians do not need a visa for cruises calling at French Polynesia. Enjoy your trip!

    • @letskeepitreal601

      Is a visa needed for open loop cruises? Leaving the states and returning to Canada then flying back to the states

      @letskeepitreal601: Are you starting your cruise in Australia (Sydney or Brisbane)? If so then as a US passport holder I understand you'll either need an Australian electronic travel authority or a tourist visa.
