I have a "big" birthday this year so we decided to take a dream vacation to Hawaii. We wanted to see a variety of things and thought the best way to do that would be the 11-day NCL cruise tour. My husband, 2 sons (18 and 21 years old) and I were on the 6/17/17 sailing.

We were greeted at the airport with leis and porters handling our luggage; however, we were on the shuttle for 2 LONG hours before we got to our hotel, the Marriott Waikiki Beach.
