We have been on many cruises and we are Latitudes Members as well. Our cruise on the Pride of Aloha was Just what we wanted. We wanted to get a Taste of as many of the Hawaiian Islands as we could, in one week ,without packing - flying - unpacking - flying etc. We decided on NCL because of the intensive 96 hours of port time. We did A LOT in one week (almost too much)but achieved what we set out to do...... find out which island we would go back to for a land visit. I can say this...... there is NO WAY you could see everything we saw in one week unless you were on a ship.
This board gave me great insight for planning our days events while we were on our cruise. Thank you all. I'll try to do as good a job for others by sharing our cruise events as well.
We did not have the 'time' to go a day early but I wish we had. We were tired 2 days into our cruise because there are no days at sea ... and every day you are up and out.
