Sorry

Thanks for heads up

Port side might be better for the Na Pali Coast sail by which is absolutely beautiful! Starboard is supposed to be good for lava viewing, but there was no lava flowing into the ocean when we cruised in December.

Sorry for the typo

Not sure how to remove or change

I thought both sides of the ship see the Na Pali coast as I was told the ship goes by with one side getting view and then circles around so the other side gets the view - maybe I misunderstood

[buckeye82]

Depends! We were on POA in December so by the time we turned around it was getting dark. Also went much faster on the second sail by and I believe I heard that was true regardless of the time of year.

POA not a big ship, very easy to get from starboard to port.

Relax, and do not stress about the typo. We all make them. Some of us make a lot of them:o. Your's is just funnier than average.

 

I cannot tell you about that cabin, but I want to thank you for the chuckle. It brightened my Monday.

Hit the little red triangle at the upper right hand side of your post. That will allow you to alert a moderator and ask him/her to correct the title spelling.

 

But as many have said, it's a cute (and funny) typo! ;)

It's delightful! No need to apologize.

I heard that both sides do get to see the Coast, but what I gathered is that the starboard side will see it from further away than port side because the ship is sailing away from the coast.

We like the port side....mainly for the NaPali coast sail by on Friday in the late afternoon. The sail by is closer on the first sail by, then as the ship turns and heads back to Honolulu, it is much further out and going faster. And, as the other poster stated, it also loses the sun, as the evening is coming on.

 

Port side for us for sure.

[don't-use-real-name]

Aye Captain this be the navigator I'll get the directions straighten out !

 

So you are on the POA and have just left Lihue (Port of Nawiliwili) and

you are sailing clockwise around the island of Kauai continuing around the

south end of the island sailing past Poipu Hanapepe Waimea (road to Kalalau

Lookout and the Waimea Grand Canyon of the Pacific) Kekaha the Pacific

Missile Range Facility AND finally the (cliffs) of Na Pali.

 

The starboard side would be seeing the cliffs of Na Pali on the west side of the island.

 

Then turn the ship to return to Honolulu without finishing the complete circle

around the north end of the island and the port side would be viewing the

cliffs - could be closer or farther out.

 

Summer viewing would not make a difference in seeing the island - winter

season and after 4 pm HST and the island would be gradually ebbing into dusk.

 

Now if the POA were sailing COUNTER-Clockwise leaving Lihue (Port of Nawiliwili)

continuing around the east end of the island heading north passing Hanamaula

Kapaa Anahola Kilauea (old light house) Princeville Hanalei (film South Pacific)

Haena AND finally the cliffs of Na Pali.

 

The Port side would be first to see the Na Pali coast and then reverse the

direction and the starboard would then see the cliffs -

 

Next destination Aloha Port of Honolulu.

 

There is another option of just simply making a circle in place off the Na Pali

coast and continue to complete the full circle of the island of Kauai.

 

Just like the cruises to Alaska the Captain maneuvers the ship to make a

photo opt for most everyone on board. The trips past the lava fields on the

Big Island may be different.

 

YMMV

 

One note the island of Kauai is one of the wettest spots on earth with over

450 inches of rainfall annually - It is virtually raining all the time on the top

of Mount Waialeale !

[mcmomny]

When are you going?

 

We went in February and half of the time had amazing weather and the other half tons of rain.

 

Pack light weight rain jacket and we wore our Teva's or water type sandals to not have to worry about wet shoes too much.

 

We rented cars at each port, pre booked with Thrifty and had no problems what so ever with Thrifty or driving the Islands

 

I packed a small fold-able ice chest bag and several refillable water bottles to take in the car with us.

 

The ship was relaxing and fun, the crew is different than most ships but we found them to be fun and involved unlike alot of reviews saying the crew was rude.

 

Have fun, we keep saying we gonna do this cruise again!

Agree 100% - we were on port side and very happy with our choice, we were in cabin 9666-bump out so can't comment on your choice. There hasn't been lava flowing so wouldn't choose a cabin based on that. Just go and enjoy!

Thanks for clearing that up! Maybe the Captain will leave port and sail in graceful figure eights. I think a couple of us were trying to say that when we cruised on POA the ship did go "counterclockwise" and the port side had the first, slower and closer view of the Na Pali Coast. Having done research before the cruise, I knew that. Thought the OP might want to know that as well. Yes, if the Captain decides to change the usual course, then all bets are off.
