[DebOinKC]

Now that your review is over, I'm a little depressed 😞 Thanks to both of you for the pictures & great review, I enjoyed reading and seeing the sights.

Looking forward to your September review!

The best cure for post cruise (and review) depression is to have another cruise (review) planned. See you in September!

👏 Bravo, Jeff, Bravo! 👏

Thank you so much for taking the time and energy to do this fantastic review ! I felt like I went along with you. Patti’s pictures were fabulous. Thanks again. I can’t wait to read your review of the new Sunrise. We were supposed to sail on her in Oct., but things came up and we had to cancel. I will love seeing the pictures of it.

Another great read Jeff. Gota love the sea days. Kahulu looks pretty. Hawaii is on my bucket list.

Thank you for such a wonderful review! I am even more excited now for our Hawaii cruise!! Looking forward to your sunrise review, we have done a Bermuda cruise with royal we had awful weather while we were there but still had a great time.

Thanks so much for the great review! I will be cruising to Hawaii in the not so distant future. What would you say are the must see/do activities on the islands? What were the most memorable/fun things that you did on the ship? What were the foods on the ship or islands that we shouldn't miss? Anyone else, feel free to chime in!  Thanks a bunch!

Thank you so much for the awesome review! So excited for our Hawaiian Cruise in Oct!! 122 days to go! 😊

Another masterfully done review - thank you so much for writing it.  You are the best reviewer ever.

I never knew that you can suffer cruise withdrawals vicariously because I'm suffering one right now after reading your review...it was one heck of a ride.  Well done!  I shall miss the Splendor, I only knew ye once...

[iluvdolphins]

Thank you for the awesome review!

Great job Jeff. Looks like a great adventure!

[pghsteelerfan]

Jeff, I really, really enjoyed your review and Patti's pictures.  I am so glad that your 25th Anniversary celebration will go down as one of your favorites.  Again, congratulations to both of you and wishing you many more happy years together.  From your words and Patti's pictures, it looked like a GREAT vacation.  Thank you both  for taking the time to share your cruises with us, I really enjoy your reviews and I know many others do too.  Looking forward to your next adventure and I hope you and Ryan have a great cruise.

And so ends another wonderful, informative, fun review by Jeff and Patti!  Thank you so much for all the time you took to take us along on your voyage.  When I read your reviews I always remember how much fun Carnival can be. Heck, you're the one that's responsible for me booking 3 more Carnival cruises while I was going through your review! Thanks again!

 

 Thanks for coming along for the ride once again, and for sharing your thoughts and comments along the way!

Thanks for following along and hope we gave you some insight on what cruising to Hawaii is all about. Those are tough questions since not knowing your likes and dislikes makes it hard to give you an answer. Best advice I can give you is to read the port of call boards. There is great information there. Look at the excursions offered on your cruise. Do any of them appeal to you? If so, book them. Lastly, take a good look at the Fun Times that I posted each day, then ask yourself, What would you have done if you were aboard? Have fun with your planning and have a great cruise!

Our reviews would not be complete unless you are there sharing you thoughts and comments along the way. Thanks for the anniversary wishes and the kind words. It is greatly appreciated!

As others have said, your review was one of the best ever posted on these boards.  Your passion and enjoyment of life makes it inspiring.  Thank you for all the hard work.....and for sharing.

[mommiemudd]

Thank you so much for all the information! We are doing the ten day Honolulu to Vancouver in April 2020. Enjoyed seeing the menus and the fun times! It’s hard to find reviews of the Hawaiian cruises Thanks again. 

[vacationlover16]

What a great review! I hate to see it come to an end but I’ll be patiently waiting for your upcoming adventures! Again, Happy Anniversary and thank you so much for all of the time and effort you both put into these reviews!

[BigNance]

May I join everyone else in complimenting your great review style and all the great pics from Patti?!!

And, Happy 25th Anniversary!  

I look forward to your next review.

Great review and pics. I always enjoy reading your reviews. Keep them coming.

I should have also added....Happy Anniversary to you and Patti. Carnival needs to put you two on the payroll to write reviews for all of their ships.
