Creator's Key Takeaways

so here we are at a tinder port so a tender port is where you have to get on a lifeboat and be carried from the ship to shore

the tinder was a little rocky but that was okay we made it over here safely

it was kind of nice just to be able to go and do my own thing and not have lunch with friends

overall it was a good day except for the little covet scare but i think that's done

Welcome to Day 11 of our Hawaii Cruise, and today weโ€™re spending the day in Kona on the Big Island. ๐ŸŒ‹๐ŸŒด Kona is a tender port, which meant long lines early in the morning โ€” so I waited until noon to go ashore, once things slowed down. That made it a shorter visit, but still a great chance to walk around town, explore the waterfront, and enjoy a relaxed Kona afternoon. While ashore, I met a crew member working in the Holland America Logo Shop who is getting ready for her first Alaska season. We had a great conversation about: โ€ข My favorite hiking spots in Alaska ports โ€ข Why the White Pass & Yukon Route in Skagway is a must-do ๐Ÿš‚ โ€ข And a story from 1980 about the Prinsendam โ€” when my brother and I tried to get onboardโ€ฆ and it sank two weeks later (thankfully, everyone survived) Later that evening, just as dinner was beginning in the main dining room, the captain made an announcement that masks were now mandatory onboard. No one was quite sure what prompted the change, but with a five-day Pacific crossing ahead, staying healthy is critical โ€” medical evacuation simply isnโ€™t possible that far out at sea. A memorable day full of walking, conversations, and cruise memories โ€” and now we get ready for the long journey home across the Pacific. Have you visited Kona on a cruise or sailed a long sea crossing? Iโ€™d love to hear your experience in the comments.
