  1. Pretty easy, actually. There is only one dock that cruise ships can use in Maui now (Kahului Harbor). It is about three miles from there to Kahului Airport (where the consolidated car rental facilities are located).
  2. On Maui you might check out Fabric Mart and Sew Special.
  3. It is up to what one considers fun. If you don't have claustrophobia, don't mind bouncing off the tunnel walls and off other guests in darn cold water, don't mind the darkness and length of the tunnels, etc., go for it. Rather expensive for what it is though, but YMMV. Do your homework well on this one!
  4. No - since we have never had a need to rent a Jeep.
  5. It sounded like they wanted to do Haleakala at sunset though, which isn't going to work with the POA leaving at 6 p.m. on day 2.
  6. Don't quite understand, but If you are looking for the correct spelling, it is McGregor (with no 'a').
  7. With all due respect, we believe you meant McGregor's Point Lighthouse instead of McKenzie Point.
  8. As an alternative, you might look at doing Papeete-Papeete on the Paul Gauguin. You can get a non-stop flight from New York to Honolulu. Hawaiian offers a non-stop from Honolulu to Papeete every Saturday. You could fly in to Honolulu, stay there for a few days to get rid of any jet lag and then catch the Saturday HNL-PPT flight. One pleasure for us on that is avoiding going through LAX.
  9. Speaking of photos - Has anyone seen the Green Flash at sunset yet?? We're seeing it almost every day (clouds permitting) here on Maui. Rather interesting.
  10. At least for us, we feel when guests dress so casually it takes away from the special atmosphere the dining room creates.
  11. Whale Watch tours on Maui may be found at Ma'alaea Harbor, about nine miles from where the POA docks. If you rent a car it will take about 20 minutes to get to Ma'alaea. Do check first though, as whale season may be over by the time you arrive here.
  12. Sitmar Cruises was our favorite. The ships didn't have all the bells and whistles (unless you considered skeet shooting from an aft deck), but they had excellent food and a great staff. Hope HAL treats you well too. Bon voyage, BermudaBound 2014 and fellow sailors! Fair winds and following seas.
  13. Thank you for the thank you. We have been following your progress and achievements on this roll call for some time now and it sounds like you have everything in gear. We wish you fair winds and following seas!
  14. You can pretty much divide Maui into five segments, and we offer this as a general idea of what is where out there and is our opinion only. South Maui takes in Wailea and Kihei. Wailea is mostly upscale resort restaurants and smaller storefront restaurants. Mama's Fish House dominates the north side, though many like to include funky Paia and its casual vibe. Central Maui is more business than romantic places. Upcountry is casual and quiet. We do not list the west side (Lahaina, Kaanapali, Kapalua, etc.) because it has a lot of healing to do yet.
