KruzPrincess Posted August 11, 2021 #26 Share Posted August 11, 2021 We got notification of the change for a March cruise, too. In addition to the Maui change, we noticed that the itinerary says we leave Honolulu at 6pm. It used to be 11pm. That gives us a much shorter time to see things in Honolulu. I liked being in port late seeing the lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, we too have that Maui change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope no further changes are coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted August 11, 2021 #30 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hilo is 188 nautical miles from Honolulu. Knots, on the other hand, are used to measure speed. One knot equals one nautical mile per hour, or roughly 1.15 statute mph. https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/nautical-mile-knot.html It will take Princess 10 hours to go from Oahu to Hilo traveling at 18.8 knots per hour. Maui and Kauai are much closer. So this seems to only affect itineraries when the ship travels from Honolulu to Hilo. I've checked several itineraries and surprised how inconsistent port schedules are. It used to be: Hilo, Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Lahaina. The Grand in March is doing Honolulu, Nawiliwili, Kahului, Hilo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishelleMcc Posted August 11, 2021 Author #31 Share Posted August 11, 2021 The Princess web site still shows 11:00pm departure from Honolulu on both the March 12th & 27th departures on Ruby Princess. What does it say in your "personalizer"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marden1970 Posted August 11, 2021 #32 Share Posted August 11, 2021 We're on the March 27 cruise. Our itinerary in personalizer shows departure from Honolulu as 6PM😒 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrase 'knots per hour' means ... landlubber. e.g. The ship must travel at 18.8 knots... Just don't get me started on PIN-number, VIN-number, and NIC-card... 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've personally chummed those waters a few times fishing. The Ka'iwi channel between Oahu and Molokai can also be a fun ride. I'd think they'd leave a little more time to be able to adjust speed and have stabilizers out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many sick people....It was hard to keep the dishes on the table. It was a wicked ride without stabilizers. So much fun. I almost think Princess takes the long route between Hilo and Honolulu now.
