Tender question in Maui

[Sunflower16]

We are sailing Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas and will be tendered in Lahaina, Maui on Saturday, Sept. 17 until Sunday at 5:00 p.m. We want to attend the Old Lahaina Luau on Saturday evening, but it isn't over until 8:45 p.m. Will we have a problem getting a tender back to the ship that late?

If the ship is there, there should be a steady stream of tenders until the ship leaves. The ship may advise of a shut down of tenders at a late night hour- say midnight, and a resumption at first light, or 6 am, or something like that. But they won't shut down the tenders at 8pm.

I agree with the previous post. The tenders should run quite late that night.

Thanks for the reply. I feel more at ease now about booking the luau.

Our son and daughter in law just went to a Luau around there as part of their honeymoon. They really enjoyed it. Unlike the typical buffets they were served table side and between each meal was dancing.

@sunflower 16 we just booked old lahaina luau too.(traditional mat seating) we are so excited about this cruise. what do you plan for the second day in maui?. we tare thinking rent a car and just drive around:p

any suggestion?

[Sunflower16]

We are thinking about renting a car both days we are in Maui. The first day we "might" take the Road to Hana (this is a minimum of 5 hrs), but if not we will go to Iao Valley State Park either that day or the next. Do you know how far the Old Lahaina Luau is from the pier? I thought I read somewhere that you could walk to it.

It is my sister and myself and we booked the table seating at the Luau. We didn't know if we could sit on mats that long.

You are aware it is almost an hour from the Lahaina side to the start of the Hana Road, each way?

[Sunflower16]

No, I didn't realize that. Thanks. I think maybe we had better skip the Road to Hana and just go to the Ioa Valley. This will be my first cruise to Hawaii and I am learning so much from this board.
