scluvsrain Posted April 10, 2016 #351 Share Posted April 10, 2016 They should move Saturday and Sunday mass to the Queen's lounge. You're right. It was stifling. I'm surprised no one passed out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted April 10, 2016 Author #354 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Buy Kona coffee - the real stuff, not the 10% blend - Hawaii needs the money! Besides it is good stuff. Plan to buy it in Kona. Hoping the price is a bit better than what I have seen so far on the Islands.:eek: Is there a place where there is a better price by any chance? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted April 10, 2016 Author #355 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Well, I have "done" the laundry (otherwise known as putting it in the laundry bag). Now, that's what I call a vacation :) Off to dinner and I will try to update the On Locations and Menus for everyone tonight or tomorrow at the latest. Stupid internet not working really fouled things up - but we will get there. We have what I hope will be a fabulous tour tomorrow in Kona so stay tuned. If the guides attentiveness in emails are any indication - it should be a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scluvsrain Posted April 10, 2016 #356 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Kazu. I'm on your tour tomorrow. I hope we have some time for a little Hawaiian shopping. I'd like to get some Kona coffee too. And I'm still on the hunt for that perfect muumuu. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks :) There's always a truck just before you turn into the Costco parking lot selling Kona coffee. Pretty sure Costco sells it too. You do need a car to get there.

And I'm still on the hunt for that perfect muumuu. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk There are lots of shops right by the pier with a variety of goods. Check out the ABC store for souvenirs. One of my favorite artists, Cindy Coates, has a shop right across from the pier. Check out her stuff. The Keahou Trolley stops at the pier and goes to several shopping stops nearby. It is $2 a ride.

RuthC Posted April 10, 2016 #362 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Mass was in the Hudson Room again, and again, SRO. They should know better. It was stifling hot, and I would imagine that 80plus people is over capacity for that room. I'm definitely going to complain! That's two weeks in a row! Try saying "Fire Hazard". That may initiate a change. At the very least they should open up all three meeting rooms, if not move Sunday Vigil to a larger venue. You are on too long of a cruise to put up with this every week. Good luck, and let us know next week, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted April 10, 2016 #363 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Great and much appreciated posts and photos by everyone! Remember to save some cash for the Fanning Islands. If you don't buy double what you think you want there, you will regret it!! Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare kazu Posted April 11, 2016 Author #366 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Kona - we were up bright and early to watch the "tender dance". Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk And we saw the sunrise this morning!!! It was a long day. Up very early,but it all worked wit the tenders. One tender down 4 to go (I think). Beautiful sail a way party with our CC friends, sapper1, Vict0riann & taxmantoo. The sunset was incredible but I couldn't grab the camera in time. And we just sat awestruck. The moon is crescent shaped now. But pics aren't working as it has gotten too dark. Will try tomorrow. Long day but a good one. Full recap later. Right now, it is time for dinner after working hard to prepare the appetizers - LOL. cheers from the seas leaving Kona Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted April 11, 2016 #367 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Konichiwa Kazu et al from Japan. I'm enjoying reading all the posts and fabulous photos.

Slarty Posted April 11, 2016 #369 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Beautiful sunrise. Recommend an ultra-violet filter for all of your cameras (daytime sunny shots). No doubt you are wondering why most of your wonderful pics are "washed out". UV, which we don't see as humans, white-overloads camera sensors/film sensors. Still love the pics though! Keep 'em coming, please. Also menus, etc. I still dream ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably set my camera at a different setting. Not the brightest when it comes to this stuff.
