Creator's Key Takeaways

We've done this cruise three times and have been on two other cruises that went to ports in Hawaii, so we're pretty familiar with these ports.

This is one of my favorite cruises. Always something new to do each time we are here.

It's only a half hour walk, so I got plenty of time.

It's very pretty here, though.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk from the ship to the main road for shuttles and taxis.
Visit the Japanese Garden for a scenic walk.
Check out the Goodwill store for unique items.
Use a coffee shop's internet instead of the ship's for cheaper rates.
