Hawaiian Cruise Questions

[cruzn single]

We have just booked for the November 2, 2005 cruise of Hawaiian islands. We are not new to cruising on HAL (6 previous cruises), but it has been three years since we cruised. Well, really will be almost 3.5 years between cruises.

 

1. How many formal nights on 15 night Hawaiian cruise? Are any of the formal nights while actually in the islands?

 

2. Does HAL still go with their evening dress code of "Casual," "Informal," and "Formal"? This just helps in somewhat pre-planning what to take.

 

3. Any other significant changes that we should know about in the 3+ years between cruises.

 

We have previously been on three 7-day cruises, and three 10-day cruises, so a cruise of 15 days has us wondering.

 

Thanks for any help that everyone can give.

Unless things have dramatically changed since last December, we had four formal nights, one of them being on a port day- but we left port in the early afternoon. Dress codes are still the same. The only difference between a ten day and fifteen day cruise is five more wonderful days of cruising. :D
