Kiwi cruiser - Hawaii cruise ?

[Johhno]

Hi Kiwi,

We are looking at doing the same cruise (2015) you have recently done in Sept this year "35 day Hawaii"

Did you by chance do a review? I have a few questions about this cruise.

 

Or if anyone else has done this trip before would love your thoughts.

 

Cheers

I have done this itinerary twice now and it is back on the list for 2015. Any in particular you want to hear about? It is a great trip plenty of ports and plenty of sea days:)

Hi Johhno, Sorry, I did not do a review off that cruise :(, but I did post updates from the ship about the cruise, which you can read Here.

(Sandielle kindly copy & pasted my posts from Facebook to here, as I had problems with the internet on the ship and with accessing Cruise Critic)

 

But you are welcome to ask any questions, you have about the cruise and I will try and answer them the best that I can, and other people here have also done that cruise as well, so I am sure they can help as well :)

 

Its a great cruise and I think you will enjoy it!!

This is a good itinerary, but we enjoyed the Tahitian ports more than the Hawaiian ones.

 

I would prefer the 'old' itinerary they used to do to Tahiti (without Hawaii) that included Tonga and another port or two in Fiji.

Thanks for all of the reply's.

Whilst I know this cruise is a long way off we intend to purchase a future cruise letter on our Sea Princess cruise in Jan 2014. This will then start the process. We will be booking a Balcony stateroom.

So,

Port or Starboard side for this cruise. Is there a better side as I do like watching the wharf arrivals procedure etc from our stateroom, sad I know.

 

General weather conditions.We normally book forward staterooms as a little rough weather doesn't worry us but not having travelled these waters before are we better booking a mid ships stateroom.

 

That's it for now.

Cheers

Hi John,

Good to learn you'll be booking a balcony, as it's a cruise that cries out for one. I felt it was about a week too long and some ports (closer to Aus) could have been replaced by better ones. Enjoy!

Cheers,

Anna

As far as port or starboard for being alongside a wharf....its hard to predict as we could say that it berths one way, but then the Captain decides that he wants the other side washed down, so it could all change..:D

On a cruise such as this, we have always said ...do we want the sun on the balcony in the morning or afternoon? and then book accordingly.

On this cruise though you get both.:D, providing you do the entire cruise up and down.

Just another thought....have you checked out Ocean and Pacific's itineraries for the Pacific?
