How was your flight? We are going in April with our 8 yr. old grandson (I hope). We picked this time frame so he doesn't miss school (except 1 day for the flight out). Did you stop in LA on the way? We have the package through NCL. Flight and hotel my sister & her husband are flying from LA and we hope to meet up before the hotel. Not sure how long of a trip this is and wonder if we should wait until he can go on the RT Princess for 2 weeks instead out of LA area.

Thanks for your review enjoyed your pictures as well.

Hi. Thanks for the great post. Can you tell me if every passenger gets a lei when they get on the ship? Or do you have to pay separately for them? Also, are there any flower leis or just shells? Thanks!

 

 

 

Everyone gets a lei! I received a flower one (just like the one in the pic, but it was limp at this point in the cruise so I left it out) and DH received a shell one. I believe I posted the pic of the two of us with our leis waiting for the doctor early in this thread.

Our flight -- United, Logan Airport to San Francisco, 2 hour layover, then San Francisco to Hawaii.

 

First of all, do keep in mind that you aren't going to be fed unless you pay for it/bring it on board and both are LONG flights to be hungry, especially if you're traveling with a child. We pre-Dunkin'd at Logan, then grabbed food in SF during the layover.

 

United flies shockingly nicer planes on the Hawaii leg. More legroom in coach, first class had some very covetable blankets (so tempted to lift one while walking through).

 

I had serious issues with leg swelling on the return journey, despite appropriate socks, and couldn't sleep at all. The crew was very nice about allowing me to pace. I can only guess that it was the combo of coming from a warmer climate where I had been exercising a lot.
