Creator's Key Takeaways

the Royal Hawaiian Hotel which was the second hotel that was built on the islands back in the 1920s and it's a hotel that when you walk down the hallway uh nothing much has changed since the 1920s

the Polynesian Cultural Center which is a wonderful facility that the Church of L Day Saints has created there in the islands

the road to Hana it's a 69 mile drive it has 59 on Lane Bridges 600 one lane loops and it takes you back up into the rainforest of Hawaii

we're going to be cruising up the napali coast and naol Coast is a set of cliffs uh it's only accessible by boat but it is one of the most magnificent scenes in Hawaii

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use private transfers from the airport to your hotel to manage the time zone change.
βœ“Book a luau that is traditional, such as the Old L luau, to avoid non-Hawaiian fire dancing.
βœ“Request a cabin on the port side of the ship for the best view of the Napali Coast.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Time zone change between East Coast and Hawaii β€” Fly over on Wednesday evening and use private transfer to hotel to adjust.
What to do on the ship during the cruise β€” The ship is more of a floating hotel; focus on excursions and rest.
