Cruiseboy in Hawaii ~ Live from Radiance of the Seas (5/5/17)

[PCWalton1]

How did you get such an early time. I went to the website 2 months out and could only get 2pm.

We booked two months out exactly and had to do that early in the day as all the morning spots were gone in a few hours.

It says at their website that booking starts at 07.00 Honolulu time [60 days out). Tried 5 min before, no go.

I was on it at 07.01 and all the spots were free :D.

Me thinks the tours get other "dibs" :cool:

I was there in 1990 and it was first come first serve. It is amazing that after all these years she is still leaking oil. When we were there tiny round balls were coming to the surface. It is a moving experience.

Some good cruising friends were in Honolulu today on Emerald Princess, so we got together after my Pearl Harbor tour and had a quick bite and a Mai Tai (or 12) at the Hula Grill on Waikiki Beach. I may have had a few too many. [emoji33]

Your pictures are absolute stunning. Sometimes, I thought I was looking at a postcard! I'm definitely looking to book this trip for April 2019.

Sat at Diamond Head hotel awaiting to join ROS. Being ex Forces visited Pearl Harbour yesterday, visited war graves in Falkland Island years ago while serving. A sombre feeling same as yesterday. Looking forwards to cruise.

Falling a little behind on photos. Busy day yesterday. Went to Chief's Luau last night it as a lot of fun. Food was kind of Blah but I hear that's common with these Luaus. I hear the one in Lahaina is very good, unfortunately I won't have time on this trip.

Great to follow along with you yesterday, Erik! Good photos, good food, good drink. Win-win-win.

 

Wishing you a carefree boarding today (don't forget! :D), and smooth sailing over to Kona. :champagne-toast:

I have successfully completed the Diamond Head hike. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be but still a bit of a challenge at some points but totally worth it.

After conquering Diamond Head this morning, Malasadas are in order and I fully intend on finishing the box this time

We have land vacation in Oahu several times. Your photos really capture the beauty of the island. Waikiki is becoming a mecca for the rich & very crowded.

Yes, the one in Lahaina is very good. Or at least, it was four years ago.

 

 

I'm really enjoying your photos and I am looking forward to your cruise.

I hate the fact that I have to agree with you on Waikiki

Great photos Erik! Congratulations on your Diamond Head summiting. :) There is no way that I would make it up all of those stairs.

 

Bon Voyage! :D
