Really enjoyed your review. So much good information. We are 1st time NCL cruisers going out of NOLA in November and all your info has been so helpful. Loved the menus and the daily news letters. Your pics were great too. Thanks for posting!

Just got off the Golden Princess Dec.7-21. We used Ricky's Tour, which I highly recommend. E-mail Rickystours@yahoo.com. for complete info. He is an independent operator. He will e-mail you a complete itinerary for his excursion. Starts at 9:30 from the pier and got us back by 4pm.

Trip includes Rainbow Falls for pics, lots of other scenic stops, macadamia factory, orchid garden/shop, but the highlight is the Volcanoes National Park, Lava tubes and lots of historical info. Trip is $60/pp and he has a comfortable van that seats 7, so we didn't feel crowded.

Nice day, good weather and we didn't have to battle the crowds. He was very knowledgable about the islands.
