Princess daily Newsletter for Hawaii

[mfinster007]

Hello all,  we are frequent cruisers but new to Princess.  We’ll be sailing 10/8 RT to Hawaii from SF.  Can someone provide a link or post daily newsletters on activities we can look forward to in the Sea Days?

 

Thank you, Michelle

Somewhere, there is a thread with activities.  But I'm too lazy to look for it...so here is what is available on a Hawaii Cruise (from SF or LA).

 

Port talks (not shopping sales pitch) on the way over

Lectures from a Naturalist and/or lecturer

Cruise DIrector activities:  ribbon lei making/flower lei on the way back

    Maybe:  Napkin folding, origami, card making, lanyard activity, crepe flower, etc

Hula Lessons / Ukulele Class by Cultural Ambassadors if they are on board

 

Zumba/line dancing/ballroom dance classes

 

Regular Spa "seminars"

Wine Tasting for a fee

Ice Sculptures

Culinary Demonstration (usually last day) no more kitchen tours or back stage tours

BINGO / Casino is open

 

And a sundry of other Piazza entertainments and sale pitches

we did LA r/t to Hawaii in January...it was the first sailing back to Hawaii since the pause & some things were limited because covid restrictions were still in place, but here it the thread I did of our cruise if you are interested 

 

my biggest recommendation (have been on 2 & planning on a 3rd Hawaii r/t) is if you have Hawaiian ambasadors on your sailing (someone on the rollcall for your sailing should know) do whatever they offer...'ukulele & hula lessons are fun even if they wouldn't be a thing you normally do.

Good Advise and link.  Unfortunately, OP is leaving from San Francisco. They should have a Hawaiian Cultural Ambassador…but they won’t be ELUA. 
 

OP will still have a great voyage. Will OP be on the Ruby?

 

@travelin.sisters glad you had a fantastic voyage and planning your third. 🌴🛳 🌈

And, of course, trivia, morning, late afternoon, and sometimes evening themed.

Watch for activities that are really sales talks. These are generally run by the spa and by the shops on board.

Might be a fashion show.

Don't forget tea time.  There might be a water colors activity in the piazza.

 

Maybe egg drop, ship building (although I haven't seen this one lately), horse races, and other money making activities.

On the sail over, they always show the Elvis movie “Blue Hawaii”.  It’s campy as heck and I have watched it many times, but the scenes of driving around 1960 Hawaii in his girlfriend’s  MGA  always sets the mood for me. Yea

Add these movies to your pre-cruise to watch list or download to watch on your cruise.
