Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Yes, they are both still on as of this current cruise.
  2. I can say with 100% certainty, (much to my disappointment) that there is no Coke Zero in the Princess fleet. Sprite Zero? Absolutely…but they do seem to run out of it towards the end of the cruise…at least in our last four cruises or so. I would LOVE if they started stocking Coke Zero…or maybe even Mountain Dew Zero…but I doubt that will happen.
  3. All the Hawaiian Ambassadors do an exceptional job of bringing the culture alive for our guests. Right now, we only have our assignments for this season, but as soon as we know where we'll be for the 2024-25 season, we'll let everyone know. TD
  4. No, it is not us...we're at home right now. 🙂 We will be getting on the Crown next weekend though. There are never any charges for hula and ukulele...I'm pretty sure that what they are referring to is the lei making/crafting brought on by the ambassadors. We also charge for our lei making/craft classes, only because we pay out of pocket for all the materials as well as the cost of shipping and transporting them to the ship when we join. But, other than that one, there is never a charge for any of our activities, talks, performances etc. Mahalo! Tiki Dave.
  5. At this point, I don't know. We really only know our schedule for one season at a time. As soon as we know our schedule, we will let everyone know here and on our social media. Mahalo! Tiki Dave
  6. Yes, we are very much still part of the Princess ohana. We just returned from a great cruise on the Grand, and will be leaving for the Hawai'i season on the Crown in a week and a half. Looking forward to seeing lots of old friends and making a lot of new ones as well. Tiki Dave
  7. I use a dog collar tracking holder…fits perfectly TD
  8. E kala mai...the cruise starts September 26th for us. Sorry for the confusion. TD
  9. Aloha Y'All! Well, as REO Speedwagon said, "Roll with the changes". There has been a change to our schedule and it looks like we are going back to the South Pacific again on the Grand Princess! Ia ‘Orana!!!!! Instead of doing the Crown Princess for the late-September cruise out of Seattle, we will now be doing the September 16 cruise from SFO to LA, Honolulu, Pape’ete Tahiti, Pago Pago and ending up in New Zealand. Our apologies to those who we will not see on the Crown. We look forward to seeing some of you on this new itinerary!
  10. Aloha All! Well, it is now official, and we can release our next set of cruise dates. These will take us from July 2023 through mid-April 2024, and you will see a small change for our post-summer Hawaiian cruise dates. For the first time since we began the Aloha Spirit Program back in 2008, we will be based out of San Francisco, and NOT Los Angeles. It felt like time for a change, and we're going to be bringing our full program of hula, ukulele, crafts, port talks, lectures and the spreading of the Aloha Spirit to the "City By The Bay". It's going to be an amazing season, and we hope to see as many of you as possible onboard. A Hui Hou! Leialoha and Tiki Dave

  12. Not rude at all. My wife Leialoha and myself are what is called Hawaiian Ambassadors. This is part of the Aloha Spirit Program that we developed back in 2008 on the Diamond Princess along with one of Princess' now retired CDs, David Cole. We are there to enhance the voyage going down to the islands, as well as on the return trip back to the Mainland. Each Ambassador team, (there are now several) puts their own spin on the program, but there will always be music performed, ukulele and hula taught, some form of Hawaiian crafts (usually lei making) offered, and we also function as the Hawaiian port lecturers, presenting information on all the ports we visit. Along with that, we lecture on Hawaiian language, food, and are there for your education and entertainment. We look forward to seeing many of you in the future. We have not been given our official 2023-24 assignments yet, but as soon as we know, I will post them up here and on FB. Malama Pono! Tiki Dave
  13. Aloha! Small change in the schedule for those who do not know…we will NOT be on the Grand for that April 8th cruise due to personal reasons. We were looking forward to it, but I now that everyone will have a wonderful time with whoever the Ambassadors will be. TD
  14. Aloha! We will be onboard the Crown for one more voyage, and leave on March 17th. We will be on the Emerald for the July 6th and August 5th Hawaiian cruises, which we are very much looking forward to. TD
  15. Aloha, Aw shucks…how sweet! We will be working this summer, but only for two cruises. The July 6 and the August 6(?) on the Emerald Princess. Tiki Dave (of Elua)
