Creator's Key Takeaways

I'll be honest, 5 days at sea is a lot for some people, especially my husband. By day four, he was ready to see land again.

So, for us, Hawaii is best enjoyed by land and not by sea.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book excursions through the cruise ship for best practice.
If prone to motion sickness, take medicine before tender rides.
Check out Turo for renting a car in port for more flexibility.
Be aware that large backpacks aren't allowed at Pearl Harbor; use lockers or leave in car.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Long sea days can be restlessConsider if you prefer frequent port stops; a direct flight to Hawaii might be better.
Food may not be memorableDon't expect gourmet meals; it's standard Royal Caribbean fare.
