msnat Posted March 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 13, 2018 On the RT from L.A. Hawaii cruise do they have something similar to the competing cruise line that has the Aloha Spirit? with all the Hawaiian stuff on board while at sea? It looks very enticing in their ad video and I haven't seen that Celebrity has it so figured I'd ask in case anyone knows :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed my retirement cruise, RT from San Diego, due to my DH being admitted to the hospital in San Diego as we were suppose to cruise. Looking forward to RT from LA in October 2019. We were just talking about the sea days at dinner. The activities you listed look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msnat Posted March 14, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I may be booking this cruise soon! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beebee Posted March 14, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2018 If you go to the "roll calls" for Eclipse sailings and put in the date for this cruise you will be able to connect with the people who are booked on this cruise. it is a great way to meet your fellow passengers and to share information about the cruise and the ports. Just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Cruise Junky Posted March 14, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We’ve done the one way a couple of times on Solstice. They did have Hawaiian activities. Ukulele lessons, lei making, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to RT from LA in October 2019. We were just talking about the sea days at dinner. The activities you listed look good. We’re on the same cruise too. We’ve taken quite a few Hawaii cruises. And another one next month. Always so relaxing and filled with island vibe.

Rare Keith1010 Posted March 14, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We also took Summit to Hawaii and it was close to 12 years ago (ouch) but there was emphasis on Hawaii on board. Lovely cruise. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted March 14, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 14, 2018 We booked the Eclipse B2B from Vancouver to Hawaii 11+10 Nights, it's more popular the 15 Nights round trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shofer Posted March 16, 2018 #13 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) We did this in 2006 on Summit and still remember it as one of my all time favorite cruises. If they still have it, and we saw it twice on both our Hawaii trips, don't miss the evening show that features the kids from the hula school. Just delightful. Have to say that this cruise had the best evening entertainment of all our cruises. Here's the link to my review if you are interested. https://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=15749 Sue Edited March 16, 2018 by shofer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanger727 Posted March 16, 2018 #14 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Can I ask an unrelated Hawaii cruise question? We are doing the one way hawaii in Vancouver in April. I have Verizon and I’ve checked and they service on the islands is included. Can anyone who was in that situation comment on whether they had cell service while sailing from island to island? Not sure how far from land you get. I am assuming it will drop out overnight but just curious. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ship gets far enough from land the ship cell tower switches on. Most of the sailing is in the middle of the night and if you are calling the mainland it will REALLY be in the middle of the night (5 hours earlier EST).

Just planning on using our cell and data for on board communication, maps, etc. I am just planning on turning all the roaming off so will have access when we are in range.
