Finding the Right Cruise Line in Hawaii

By Shirley Lewis

The best way for a “first timer” to get a feel for the Hawaiian Islands is to take a cruise.. You get a small amount of time on each island, but, you also get to decide where you would like to come back and visit. Almost all of the larger cruise lines go to other places, along with Hawaii. Only Hawaii Nautical and Norwegian Cruise Lines offer Hawaiian Island only cruises.

Cruising is a fun way to see anything! On the ship they have legal gambling on the open seas, entertainment, and a tour guides with sign ups for fun things to do on the islands. To save money, book your own land excursions. Booking early, before you leave on your cruise, is the best way to ensure you are able to get the excursions you want! Check with the cruise lines for deals on golfing. Sometimes they can negotiate a better golf rate than you can. You don’t have to go on any excursions. Simply ask the cruise director to point you to some of the best beaches or shopping. They will be happy to assist you! Read more

Carnival Glory Western Caribbean 7 Day Review

By Brandon Goodman

I recently took my girlfriend on a one week cruise through the Western Caribbean. I had never been on Carnival Cruise line before and didn’t know what to expect.

Our initial impression of Carnival was not a good one. Even though I had filled out endless forms before heading to the port to embark, there was a ridiculously long wait for embarkation. Maybe getting there earlier would be better, as there were 3000+ people eagerly waiting to board.

I had heard that Carnival caters to a younger crowd. This held to be true. Relative to other boats I’ve been on, this boat had a crowd that probably averaged in their mid 30s. Read more

A New Cruise Port – Adds to the Fun of Cruising

By Mona Graham

For most of us, the ports that ships visit, are an important part of the cruise experience. If we have sailed the the same areas more than once, it is exciting to find that a new, or almost new, port has been built, especially one that was built for cruise passengers.

As a travel agency owner, I am bombarded with information on, what is current, what is past and what is new. It was exciting to learn about a port, that was built in 2001. Damaged by hurricane Dean in 2007 and re-opened in mid 2008, what was even better, they had added 100 feet to the port, allowing it to not only accommodate 3 ships at one time, but also to accept the mega ships – such as Royal Caribbean’s “Oasis of the Seas”.
